• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: It is important to note that in Clause 25, we made a cross-reference to Clause 27, which is now deleted. It is not a problem. We will do a recommittal of Clause 25 so that we can clean it up. Let us move on to the next clause. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 29 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (c) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clauses— (a) may establish or adopt a contributory optional superannuation, provident or medical fund or other scheme for its employees; and (b) may grant pensions, gratuities, retiring allowances or sickness or injury benefits to any employee. This is to rearrange. What is provided under Clause 29 is also in order, but they have put together all those items in one clause. We are saying that it is good to separate the two. If you ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: anything. We are just trying to redraft because of the wording, so that you do not lump together two items. We agree with you, the Leader of the Majority Party, because this is your Bill. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 30 be amended- (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the word “service” appearing after the words “specialised police” and substituting therefor the word “unit”; (b) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “Assistant Commissioner” and substituting therefor the words “Assistant Inspector General”; (c) by deleting sub-clause (4); and (d) by deleting sub-clause (5). The amendment to sub-clause (1) seeks to clarify that the Bill seeks to establish a new police unit and not a new police service. The proposed Parliamentary Police Unit will operate alongside the existing police units like ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to confirm to the House that when we were conducting public participation on this Bill, the Police Service came before the Committee and we were able to discuss these issues. In terms of the numbers, I may not confirm here. It is, of course, a concern. You can imagine if this unit were to serve Parliament, it should be reasonable in terms of the numbers, but that is the business of the IG, the in-charge of the police. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- section immediately after sub-section (2) - view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: (3) The Commission shall hold bi-annual sessions with each House of Parliament on the status of implementation of Article 127(6) of the Constitution. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The amendment seeks to provide for a forum for the Commission to regularly update Members of Parliament on issues arising out of the implementation of the Commission’s mandate under Article 127 of the Constitution. This is a very important move so that once in a while, the Commission should update Members. Sometimes we struggle with kamukunjis and other issues. Thank God for the Leader of the Majority Party who is very proactive. This is to enable the Commission to interact with Members. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 38 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (4) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clauses— (4) Every oath or affirmation taken by the chairperson shall be administered by the secretary and every oath or affirmation taken by any other member, the secretary and the Clerks shall be administered by the chairperson. (5) Every oath or affirmation taken by any other officer shall be administered by the secretary. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The amendment seeks to relieve the Chairperson of the Commission of the task of swearing in Members and all officers of the Commission. The Bill requires the Chair of the Commission to even witness the swearing in of the officers of the Commission. I think that should not be the business of the Chair, but it can be done under the leadership of the Secretary of the Commission. Let us allow the Secretary to oversee the swearing in of senior officers of the Commission. view
