• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said report. I request Sen. Chute to second. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Elections (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bills No.29 of 2024) be now read a Second Time. This is a very interesting legislation. I have been at the Bomas of Kenya in 2013, 2017, and 2022 either as a party operative or candidate who had been declared to follow up on the presidential election. This is a culmination of all the agitation that we normally get at the Bomas of Kenya. If you follow through our electoral process, immediately after Members of Parliament (MPs), MCAs, governors, and Senators have been announced, we ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: the Bomas of Kenya, where for the next one week the whole country comes to a standstill. That is a barbaric behaviour. It is really unfortunate. I am speaking like this because we just watched elections in a first world country. Elections were held where more than 130 million people voted. After about five hours, you could get an indication of who took the lead. In fact, if you have an interesting candidate like the President-elect of the United States of America (USA), he did not even wait for other states to declare their results. Once it became apparent that ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: report is the fact that the Parliament was indicted for changing electoral management processes laws a few months to the electoral cycle; and that, we do deals last minute that make it impossible or difficult for election managers to conduct elections to the satisfaction of the country. You know very well that we have the highest standard of election expectation in comparison with the rest of the world. We expect a near-perfect process, let alone the fact that it is run by human beings, who many a times enter these results deep in the night, having not slept for more ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: substituting them with new subsections providing for the inspection of the Register of Voters by members of the public and rectification of particulars of voters, as well as exceptions when IEBC shall not be expected to rectify the particulars of the voters. This is the usual process where they normally pin the list of registered voters in a particular polling station for clarity purposes. I have pointed earlier that some of these things are either definition or going deeper into the law to make it more appealing. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Clause 5 is amending Section 8A of the principle Act, which is a deletion of subsection (3) and provides for audit of the Register of Voters by a professional reputable firm for purposes of first general election after the commencement of this Act. We have argued about the validity of our Register of Voters. I do not know if other countries have this. I know for a fact that you have come from observing elections in some land very far away from this place. I do not know if you had any conversations about audit of ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: . Eventually, we will remove those things that were provided for education qualifications. We are representing people, and, therefore, many of the people you represent, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, there are no medical doctors like you. They have voted for you because The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: they feel that you can represent them. It was the feeling of Kenyans, and the courts have finally agreed with them, so we do not need to push this point further. With regard to Members of a County Assembly (MCA) and Members of Parliament, Kenyans want to elect their own. The Bible says to each their own. If they feel that they want to elect a fellow who perhaps does not meet what we would know as at least a basic standard of a competent person to legislate and represent them, as I have said, we are only humble servants ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: I almost laugh when I remember a certain political party that conducted its nomination electronically. There was a big fight about “password”. They questioned the use of “password”? I am sure Sen. Ogola knows a thing or two about that “password” conversation that ensued in certain regions. IEBC has that mandate provided for by law, but at the request of the political parties. Clause 16 proposes to amend Section 32, which provides for the approval of a symbol for independent candidates, by deleting the words “nomination day” and “nomination” and substituting them with the words the date of registration and ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Clause 20 of the Bill proposes to amend the Act by inserting new Section 38(a) to provide for the designation of polling stations by IEBC and publishing them in the Gazette at least three months before the date of any election. We have argued before about the creation of polling stations. Sen. Eddy has a thing or two to say about this. I read some of the things he said about the IEBC elsewhere. We are making it a provision in the law that three months before the election, IEBC must publish the list of all the polling stations by ... view
