• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: (iv) THAT, the Sinking Fund Guidelines require a regulatory impact assessment and submission to the National Assembly of a regulatory impact statement within the meaning of Section 8 of the Statutory Instrument Act, 2013 as the Fund is appropriated from the consolidated Fund and as such accrue from the taxpayers and would thus impose significant costs to the community or part of the community. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee, pursuant to Standing Order 210 (4) and having examined the Public Finance Management (Sinking Fund) Guidelines, 2021 against the Constitution of Kenya, the Interpretations and General Provisions Act ( Cap 2 ), the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, the Statutory Instruments Act 2013, and the Public Finance Management (National Government) Regulations, 2015; recommends that the House annuls in entirety the said Guidelines for failing to demonstrate that sufficient public participation was undertaken contrary to Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution and Sections 5, 5A and the Schedule to the Statutory Instruments Act, and ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The gist of the Report or the recommendation of the committee is simple and straightforward. Repayment of loans – be it domestic or foreign – is such an important matter that requires every single Kenyan to have a say in the way the matters are handled. The Committee was unable to be persuaded that there was any iota of evidence of public participation. Given that situation, on its own, what we call the Regulations or the Guidelines, were dead on arrival. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly, the absence of the regulatory impact statement meant that whoever was in charge of the regulatory making authority did not take the matter as seriously as it is required. Here is, therefore, the recommendation of the Committee to annul. With those remarks, I move and request the Chief Whip to second the Report. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Colleagues have been very clear in their disgust at the poor show by the State Department of the National Treasury. I believe the Leader of the Majority Party has heard the sentiments. We have also heard the same as a Committee. When the National Treasury appears before us later, we will raise the same issues that this House has raised. One of the issues that led to the recommendation to annul was lack of a Regulatory Impact Assessment Report. In that Regulatory Impact Assessment Report, we could have easily picked out the issue of ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I did not want to interrupt my good friend, friend of my constituency; he always comes whenever we call upon him. The matter he is raising is so fundamental as it is on mental health. I rise under Standing Order No.35, to cite that we do not have quorum to discuss such an important and critical matter that has been in the news. Remember, yesterday, when we were talking about the police, it become very critical. So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I need your guidance in view of the lack of numbers and the monumental importance of the Bill. Thank ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for granting me opportunity to also drop a word in respect to the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill. For the entire period that I have been here and our term is almost coming to an end, I have always been uncomfortable with omnibus Bills that tend to amend very many Acts of Parliament in one particular Bill. You rob the people of Kenya the opportunity to constructively contribute to the contents of the Bill. You rob the people of Kenya and Parliament the ability to deeply scrutinise the Bill in order to enrich it for purposes of ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there are two major issues that come out of this amendment: First, it seems that the Bill proposes to reconstitute the various boards or councils that are in various Acts of Parliament and these are the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act, the Nurses Act, the Medical and Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Act, the Tobacco 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
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Control Board, the Cancer Prevention and Control Act, the Public Health Officers (Training Registration and Licencing Act No.12, 2013), the Kenyan Medical Supplies Authority Act, the Counsellors and Psychologists Act, the Physiotherapists Act, the Clinical Officers Act and the main Health Act. It is so clear that we are reversing the gains we have made in terms of professionalising our professional bodies by the mere fact that most of the people who will sit in these boards or councils will be senior Government officers and the chairman is appointed by the President. This means that the team, board or the ... view
