  • Published in Kenya Gazette Vol. LXXXIII—No. 20 on 8 May 1981
  • Commenced on 25 May 1981
  1. [Revised by 24th Annual Supplement (Legal Notice 221 of 2023) on 31 December 2022]
1.This Order may be cited as the Revision of the Laws Order, 1981.
2.The eleventh annual supplement to the Laws of Kenya prepared under section 7 of the Act shall come into force on the 25th May, 1981.

DIRECTION FOR USE OF NEW SUPPLEMENT

1.The eleventh annual supplement comprises the following booklets which should be inserted in appropriate sequence in the volumes of the Laws—
(a)chapters 70, 160, 209, 225A, 472 (second booklet) and 473, which are incorporated in the Laws of Kenya for the first time;
(b)21 new revised chapters, namely nos. 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 40, 64, 65, 67, 102, 103, 109, 164, 302, 476, 488, 496 and 518;
(c)a new revised accumulative index containing a complete noter- up of the Laws of Kenya as at the 1st January, 1981, and including a supplement to the chronological table;
(d)a new revised table of contents, including a separate table of omitted Acts.
2.As the new booklets are inserted into the volumes the following booklets should be removed and stored for future reference—
(a)chapter 495 which has been repealed;
(b)chapter 286 which has been newly revised and re-published with a new number;
(c)chapters 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 40, 64, 65, 67, 102, 103, 109, 302, 476, 488, 496 and 518, which have been newly revised;
(d)the old table of contents and index.
3.The Government Printer will supply the 1981 supplement complete to persons not entitled to free supplements at a total cost of Sh. 405.
4.The opportunity should also be taken when inserting and extracting booklets to check whether each set of the Laws is up to date. This can be done in the following manner—
(a)check that the contents of the thirteen volumes tally with the 1981 edition of the table of contents supplied as part of the 1981 supplement (the actual chapters in each individual volume should be within the range of chapter numbers specified on the card printed in red on the spine);
(b)any chapters not specified in the 1981 edition of the table of contents will be found to contain laws which have been repealed or replaced or become spent and should be removed from the volumes;
(c)once the chapters have been checked against the table of contents reference should then be made to the index to check that each chapter is the latest, and therefore the current, edition; the year of last revision is printed in the third column of Part I of the index.
5.Where chapters are found to be missing, or to be outdated editions, replacements should be ordered from the Government Printer.
