• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose this Bill in the sense that the August date, which is proposed in the Constitution, is the right date. A lot of arguments have been advanced about the December date, when we are talking about the exams. The December date interferes with the festivities and a lot of things because when you campaign, you do not just do it in the last three weeks to the elections. You start campaigning about six months earlier. So, you will already be affecting the national exams, which will be held in November or ... view

It is specific in the Constitution that they serve a five-year term, but there is nothing to say how long a Member of Parliament (MP), the President or the governor will serve. It should be specified that we serve for five years whether it is upto March 2018 or August 2017. It should be specific that all the political leaders will be chosen for a term of five years and nothing less or more, so that we can have definite dates which we know of when we are going ... view

• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill. I am elected on the ticket of the Alliance Party of Kenya (APK). This is the way to go because all the major democracies have small parties as well. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Sakaja mentioned that TNA or Jubilee is sharing its money with all the other small parties. I believe that is not true because APK, up to date, has not received even a coin from TNA. This amendment will go a long way because we need parties which will be giving chances to women and youth to be given more money. view
