• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not know if the Member has just walked in. I do not know what is not clear. She needs to ask me which particular section is not clear. view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is important for the Member to note that when we are in the Committee of the whole House, we assume that Members have read the Bill. We debated this particular Bill last year. Members have good knowledge of this Bill. From the next clause, I will go slowly and explain more. Some of the Members can contribute to make it clear for other Members to understand. view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what we have put here is on appointment of the CEO for a term of four years renewable once, subject to performance as per the Mwongozo. We do not have qualifications here because we thought the collective management organisations have their own terms of reference on how to engage CEOs. We did not want to encroach too much, but if Members feel that we need to guide them so that they can employ competent CEOs, we do not have an issue with that. We can bring an amendment to that effect. The electronic version of the ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have checked and it is not in the parent Act. When members of the CMOs appeared before our Committee, we brought out this issue and they said they are private members coming together and agreeing who is going to be their CEO to run their affairs. If we amend this particular clause and introduce qualifications like degree certificate in law, accounts or any relevant business field, the members might not be comfortable with it because they said that their business is private and they decide who their CEO is going to be. We cannot stipulate ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was saying that what we need to do is that since it was silent in the parent Act, we leave it silent. Secondly, we have given a proposal to KECOBO and the Attorney-General’s office to repeal this law because the initial law was about thirty-something pages and with the amendments, we are having around 65 pages. So, there was no need to do these amendments. We should have done an overhaul. We should have repealed this law. They have said that as soon as we pass this, they are going to engage consultants to repeal ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I said the original Bill was around 38 pages and this is about 60 pages. The percentage of the amendment is less than 50. When we went through it, it was around 30 per cent. That is why we gave that proposal that they need to sit down so that in the course of the year, they can come back after they have done the Bill. It is less than 50 per cent. It is about 28 per cent. view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the CMOs came to our Committee. There are also Members who came as individuals. They said that it is up to CMOs to set up the qualifications for their CEOs. It is not up to this House to prescribe the qualifications because this is not a public body. That is the reason we put in the requirements for the executive director for KECOBO because KECOBO is a parastatal. This is why we put it in. They requested that they wanted somebody with a degree in law and experience also in intellectual property. For the CMOs, it ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting clause 27 and substituting therefor the following new clause— Amendment view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The reason we did not specify here is because we thought it is already in the Constitution. All these bodies know one gender cannot be more than two thirds. It is silent but already in the law. Going forward, we will be alive to it and specify so that those who are mischievous do not take advantage and exclude either gender. view
