Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we need to relook at these two sections because if you look at Section 9A, the intention is to essentially replace the current registration system. Section 9A(2)(b) reads, “assign a unique national identification number to every person registered in Kenya.” The import is that the current system is therefore being replaced by the new system. So, if we retain both of them it will see us working on a double system that is going to be a source of confusion to the people of Kenya. Therefore we must relook at what we are talking about.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as I agree to the amendment, I find Section 3 (2A) a bit curious unless we have not yet considered it.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I find it curious. Why would we talk about marginalised groups yet it is expected that whenever an appointment is made under the Constitution and the general law, an attempt will be made to balance? Specifically, who are those marginalised groups that the Chair of the Committee is talking about? I need his guidance or clarification.

That is already in law. We do not need to state it again.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to oppose the amendment because the essence of arbitration is to get an independent party to arbitrate or resolve a dispute between two contracting parties. The Cabinet Secretary sits on the board of the Kenya Post Office Savings Bank. Consequently, being consulted before an arbitrator is appointed is to disadvantage the client who has got a contractual issue against the bank. This is setting a dangerous precedent because what it means is that an arbitrator who is not independent or who is impartial will not be selected.
