• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it has nothing to do with revisiting that matter. It is more of seeking clarification from the Chair. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at the notations in the Bill and in the Order Paper, you will realise that there is a mix-up. All we want, now that we are looking at both of them at the same time, is just a clarification. When we talk about Clause 4(1)(b) in the Order Paper, is it really the same clause appearing in the Bill? It is different! That is all we wanted to sort ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I respect your ruling on this matter regarding the need for hon. Members to submit to you a written amendment, if they want to 4090 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 20, 2007 propose any. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are all, however, in a predicament. None of us had the opportunity to look at this Order Paper in the House in advance so as to move any amendment if necessary. So, because of that, I really would like to seek your indulgence. In Clause 2, if I read it clearly, the Minister is proposing that the ... view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. As I support it, I want to draw the attention of the Minister to the fact that, recently there has been an outcry over transactions at the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) by brokers. Brokers sell stocks on behalf of clients who have not authorised them to sell. As a result, there has been clear cases of fraud in the sense that the revenues arising from such unauthorised transactions have been manipulated. They sometimes end up in the wrong hands. With electronic transactions through the Central Depository System, now in place, ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act be amended- (n) By deleting the proposed amendment to the Second Schedule; Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the fact that the drafting might have been a purely typographical mistake. This is because if you go to the original Act, as it is today, under the Second Schedule, Section 2(1) says: "The term of each nominated member of the Advisory Board shall be five years." Emphasis is: "Shall be five ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I need your guidance here. If you look at Section 1, there is a clear timeframe provided for in the Second Schedule in terms of the process of appointing members to the Advisory Board. The timeframe is such that it ensures that there will be no extension beyond the five years. So, that way, Section 2(1) is actually complied with. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there would be no reason, if the timeframe is adhered to, as stipulated under Section 1, to go beyond the five years. I beg that ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Hire Purchase Act is a legacy that the late Mr. J.M. Kariuki left for Kenya and it was intended to help Kenyans to acquire capital goods including machinery for setting up small businesses. Unfortunately, because of the rising costs the relevant threshold has moved substantially because of the cost of items. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this amendment is essentially intended to make this Act still relevant as a facilitator to help Kenyans to acquire capital goods including starting small enterprises. I, therefore, second. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I wish to thank Mr. Oparanya for taking his time to do a lot of research to prepare very well for this Motion. This Motion is long overdue. I, therefore, urge Members of Parliament and the Government to take it seriously. Without repeating what has been said by my colleagues, I want to emphasise that disasters will always happen. This is a reality and it is predictable. It is certain. The only thing that is not predictable is the actual timing of its occurrence. It will come in different ways: ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Minister in order to mislead this House, through the reporting of the Press tomorrow, to believe that all the work that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) has been doing for the last three to four years will be annulled if this amendment is carried? The point is that, as the Attorney-General has agreed, the Penal Code provides for sufficient provisions for any action against those who were involved in Anglo Leasing and the KACA can actually still use the Penal Code to arrest them and arraign them ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, is the Minister in order to mislead the House to believe that those who were involved in Anglo Leasing will go scot-free and yet, the Penal Code provides for the KACA to actually--- view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on behalf of the Departmental Committee of Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act be amended- (d) By deleting the proposed Section 12A. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there are two reasons which informed the Committee's decision to make this amendment. First, that particular section - Section 12A - is actually superfluous. It is superfluous because if you look at the existing Act, Section 12A Sub- section (a), it clearly provides that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) may, in the performance ... view
