• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, New Clause 16B(b) states that the management of the Institute shall consist of three persons nominated by the farmers from each of the sugar catchment regions under the Second Schedule. New Clause 16B(c) states that the management shall also consist of two persons nominated by the farmers from each of the sugar catchment regions under the same Schedule. What are we saying? Why not just say five members instead of having two separate parts? view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Probably, the Chairperson can explain so that we can understand and it does not become another typo or misstatement. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Further to that clarification, currently, the Kenya Agricultural, Livestock and Research Organisation is heavily funded to undertake research. Will it not be in order to ask them to give a percentage of that funding to the KEFRI since they sit on the Board? They are heavily funded and are a premier research organisation under agricultural matters. They should be compelled or required to give part of their funding to KEFRI. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is nothing out of order. I just feel that the penalty prescribed under 16J(2) is fairly punitive. The Kshs1 million for a peasant farmer is an overkill. This is probably something that the Chairperson and the Committee can start ventilating on as we proceed. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, number (c) looks a bit untidy because it talks of different things. We have (a), (b) and (c) in 24D. The first (c) talks about “to order the payment of costs”. Then, there is “and the provisions of the law relating to commissions of inquiry in Kenya with respect to…” Is it relating to the cost or should it have been (d), to specifically cover areas relating to the Commissions of Inquiry Act in Kenya? It is a bit untidy. It needs to have been cleaned up. I am sure Members must have been looking at ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Yes; I think it is a typo. It is something that we can clean up without anything. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: I might just need a clarification from the Chair. The words read “where the office of any member becomes vacant, whether by death or otherwise, the Chief Justice may appoint…” It is not compulsory that the Chief Justice appoints. Does it mean that the Committee contemplated a situation where the Tribunal can sit despite a vacancy, in spite of there being a vacancy? Would it have been fair enough to state “the Chief The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Justice shall appoint”? That is so that it becomes mandatory. We should not have a vacancy that remains for unnecessarily too long. That is what I was just wondering about. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when I went to my constituency and held a meeting with the sugarcane farmers, this was one of the areas they greatly emphasised on, especially the way the Busia Sugar Factory has been harassing and intimidating them. On the issue raised by Dr. Nyikal, this is a private company. Private companies have a Memorandum and Articles of Association that details how often they elect directors. So, we are just trying to harmonise. Many of them require one year and we are trying to harmonise on a yearly basis. At every annual general meeting (AGM), there is ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support. We need to be very clear with members of the public and sugar-cane farmers that in no way do we have any intention of introducing zoning. Zoning and election of directors to the Board was removed from the Bill purely for administrative purposes. Thank you. view
