• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The amendment seeks to clarify the provisions and sets out the administrative powers of each of the Clerk of the House. It is observed that the powers and functions to be assigned to the Secretary to the Commission under the Parliamentary Service Act must take cognisance of the bicameral nature of Kenyan Parliament as established under Article 93 of the Constitution. The basis of this amendment is to make the functions of the two clerks of the two Houses to be very clear as set out under Article 93 of the Constitution. That is the essence of this amendment. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what we have done in the amendment is to clearly set out the functions of the two Clerks. The authority still remains with the Commission. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Listening to Hon. Keynan, I have no problem with that position and I am inclined to withdraw this amendment to Clause 19 because we just wanted to clarify. But I still believe what we set out in the current Bill can still serve. Basically, the confusion that used to exist is clarified in the Bill. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, I have withdrawn it. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 21 of the Bill be amended by deleting the expression “the Senior Deputy Clerk” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the expression “a Deputy Clerk”. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The amendment seeks to redraft to harmonise in line with the fact that the Commission has renamed the title of the Senior Deputy Clerk as Deputy Clerk. That has already been done by the Commission. So, we want to avoid referring to the title Senior Deputy Clerk, which has already been done away with by the Commission. view

• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended - (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the word “and” appearing in paragraph (e) and substituting therefor the word “or”; (b) by deleting sub- clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub- clause (2) - (2) Before a Clerk is removed under subsection (1), the Clerk shall be informed of the case against him or her in writing and shall be given reasonable time to defend himself or herself against any of the grounds cited for the intended removal. (c) by deleting sub- clause (3) and substituting therefor the following new ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: It is noted that Clause 22(2)(d) of the Bill as currently drafted presupposes that a Clerk has already committed some wrong and is under a duty to explain himself or herself. Otherwise, the Commission shall remove him or her. The wording as it is gives the impression that already that particular staff or Clerk is guilty. We are not very happy with the wording itself. That is why we did some redrafting. view
