• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: While it is contemplated that Parliament can sit elsewhere other than Nairobi, the view we have is to give that provision. If there will be need to decongest the Capital City Nairobi anytime, then we would not have to go through extraneous complications to provide a different place. As my colleagues have said, the place where it will be headquartered will be gazetted. Business sense indicates that once gazetted, built and commitments made, it is will be practically impossible to move it at the whims of any particular person. So, I ask my colleague and neighbour to accept the amendment. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I just want to make two comments briefly relating to the so-called repetition in d(i) and d(2) about law. My colleague, Hon. Omulele, has made it very clear. This body is a custodian of accreditation and standards in this country. Naturally, you will need somebody with a legal background. In the event we do not get somebody under category one, then under category two, we will get a lawyer so that we are able to cover that skill that is required to protect the interest of this country. Secondly, the country and the world have changed. The issue of being ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to ask my senior colleague, Hon. Washiali, to basically let it go on two reasons. As I said earlier, accreditation is a fairly moving subject. It is never fixed in any particular line. view

It is a valid area of issues that we really need to look at differently. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thirdly, this is a policy organ. Many a times even the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) preside over critical national policy issues but they might not be experts in those particular lines. As long as a range of expertise is there and then we have a secretariat, the accreditation process will be done. As much as he wants to make amendments to Clause 7, he needs to also look at what has been provided for in Clauses 8 and 9 about committees of the Board and accreditation advisory committees. All those areas will be covered in virtue of the provisions of those ... view

• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, for this particular aspect. I need Members to understand the envisaged structure of KENAS so that we do well as we debate. We have nothing against Mheshimiwa Millie Odhiambo’s proposed amendments but, let us, first of all understand the envisaged structure of the Service. The Service consists of the Board. We were informed at the public participation level, that ordinarily a committee or a board can establish such other committees as is necessary to undertake its functions. We were given, for example, you can have an audit committee and a human resource committee. For example, the human resource capital ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: knowledge. Surely, it is just a matter of semantics over which I beg this House to help us refine if we find there is a bit of misunderstanding or lack of clarity on this aspect. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chair, probably just a matter of clarification, the Accreditation Advisory Committee and its broad functions are basically set out The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
