• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it should have been enacted by 27th of August in line with the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution. The second part of the Question was “When will each of the said Bills be published?” That was the Question, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are talking of the Bills which have not been published so far. So, I applied my mind to the Bills which have not been enacted by this House. The ones which have been enacted have already been published, debated in this House and passed as law. I am dealing with the ones which ... view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me make this statement. I have a responsibility of being candid and honest with this House. I cannot give a date. The process of passing Bills is a long process and there are stakeholders involved. When view
• 13 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me undertake to this House – and that is why we are saying “on or before.” When you say “before,” it is actually even before 29th; it can be done. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we undertake to do that and we are serious about this to ensure that we do not have a similar situation like last time when we were passing the other Bills. I want to assure this House that it will be done and that, this time round, we are not going to have the very short moment to debate our Bills. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 elaborates nine key legislative areas that require legislation to be enacted within two years of its promulgation. (b) Out of these nine legislative areas, four have already been enacted on and five are pending at various stages as elaborated in the typed matrix. The matrix has also set out the estimated time lines within which the remaining Bills are planned to be published. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can do that. The first one is legislation on leadership under Article 80 of the Constitution. Under that Article, we now have a Bill; the Leadership and Integrity Bill (2012). That Bill has already been developed. It is currently being reviewed by the Kenya Law Reform Commission. It is now being sent to CIC for further review. We hope that this Bill will be published in the month of June. Number two is on the right to recall under Article 104 of the Constitution. This has been done under the Elections Act. Therefore, the ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is an area that I am yet to look at because the Question was specifically on Bills that are pending to be enacted on or before 27th August, 2012. I may be able to look at those areas raised by my colleague because I have not looked at those issues. I was only addressing myself to the issue of--- view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will also have to look at that because that Ministerial Statement will address what is being raised now by my colleague. I will go to the office and look at the status of that Statement and we should give it within this week or next week. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to do so by Tuesday next week. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why we gave the month of June is because before I came to this House, I talked to the various line Ministries. You will realize that these Bills are being developed by various Ministries and for us to be specific about the dates, a specific date would be perhaps to mislead the House. What we have done as a Ministry is to continuously liaise with these Ministries and tell them that they must move with speed. What is being raised here is genuine. It does not help this country and this House when we have ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to be very clear. It is not difficult for me to mention a specific date but--- view
