• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: nature. We should not allow, as a House, substantive amendments in those particular laws to be undertaken. As I conclude, may I take this opportunity to express gratitude to the Committee Members for their resilience and devotion to duty, which made the review of the Bills easier. This is not just my Committee, but the other committees which did this work. I urge the Members to read the comprehensive reports in order to fully appreciate and enrich the debate when the Bill comes up for consideration in the Committee of the whole House. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I further urge Members to adopt the recommendations of the committees as contained in the Report. This is our moment, as a House, to follow the report carefully so that we support what committees have supported. I beg to reply. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, that is the essence of these kinds of amendments. Bearing this in mind, in my Committee, some of the proposed amendments in the Bill are not of miscellaneous nature, in that they were inherently controversial and, indeed, elicited quite some debate. Just to quote a few, for example the proposed amendment to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions that seeks to amend the definition of the term ‘investigative agency’ by deleting the expression ‘Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission’. This amendment proposes to remove the EACC as an investigative agency on behalf of the DPP. This is, indeed, a ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will now summarise. The other amendment, which is not of the nature of miscellaneous, was with regard to the amendment to Section 4(2) of the Kenya School of Law Act and Section (8)(1) of the Council of Legal Education Act. The gist of these amendments is the liberalisation of the Advocates Training Programme. The amendment proposes that it should not be offered exclusively by Kenya School of Law (KSL). We are dealing with a situation where we want to open the process of training lawyers to any institution that can provide that service. There is ... view

• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important Petition. I request the committee to not just address this Petition. In the 11th Parliament, you recall, I moved a Motion in this House and the House agreed and resolved that the Government should declare cattle rustling a national disaster and proceed to compensate those who have lost livestock. The truth of the matter is that this has caused serious suffering in families. In my own Baringo County and other parts of the country, we have serious challenges on this issue. A time has come that this House cannot just be ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to request the Committee on Implementation to go ahead and inquire into the extent that the Government has implemented what we resolved in the 11th Parliament in terms of compensation. When we had post-election violence in 2007/2008, Kenyans lost their lives. I do not know the exact amount, but billions of shillings were used to compensate the families that were affected. The suffering arising from cattle rustling has become so serious. I would like to appeal to our Government that we need to consider compensation. We are prepared, as a House. The resolution of the House in ... view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to, very sincerely, thank the Members of this House for their contributions in support of this Motion. Yesterday, all Members who contributed supported this Motion and supported the Committee’s recommendation for the approval of the three nominees for appointment. One issue which I noted during the debate was that there is need to establish offices of this Commission in all the 47 counties. As it is now, there are about five counties where this Commission is present. Even as we approve the appointment of the chairperson and the members The electronic version of the ... view
