Two, we tend to have groups that do not exist or are recognised in law. I do not know who the Consumer Federation of Kenya is. I have searched and I do not know in which particular Act of Parliament they are anchored. The council shall consist of one person nominated by the Kenya Warehouse Operators Association. We cannot include in the Act things that do not exist, and are futuristic and anticipatory. We cannot legislate in anticipation. We must only deal with organisations or bodies that exist, and are definable. I wanted to raise further amendments but luckily enough; ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support, but I thought sub-clause (b)(iii) might be giving CECs a blanket cheque to literally decline. I would imagine that regulations should have been adequate. One and two are okay, but I have reservations on three.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I may not be an insurance expert, but I would imagine that insurable risks are explicit in the Insurance Act and various insurance policies. I would rather the amendment has reference to the Insurance Act and the risks provided for under it. That is my suggestion instead of talking about

I do not know whether it is too late in the day instead of having direct reference to Kenya Bureau of Standards in relation to anybody that is authorised by law to provide accreditation and testing services. We have a Bill in the House at the Second Reading stage

If you allow, could I inform you? The truth of the matter is, what we have now is established by Legal Notice No. 50 or 55 of 2009. We are now in the process of bringing a substantive law and it is at public participation stage.

I want to make a plea to the good lady, Hon. Jennifer Shamalla and I want us to look at where we are coming from. It is not common practice for a warehouse receipt to be used as a lien. This is because so far, it does not contain the same effect, gravity or weight like a title deed or title to property. I am just speculating that probably the drafters of the Bill wanted to emphasis this point, so that, this particular title can be used as security for purposes of a loan in a bank. I am just ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you will excuse me for my ignorance and you will allow me to use this as a learning process.

Is there a way the legal minds can assist us so that we link the ...
