• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me finish. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There is the element of mergers in Clause 8. I like the way the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has put it. I will bring amendments to that clause. I have discussed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: this with Hon. Ochieng and Hon. Kajuju. Merging and coalition-building are provided for in law. Parties can merge or form coalitions before a general election or have a post-election coalition. We want to make sure that we safeguard democracy. In a merging process, national delegates conferences of the parties involved should be given an opportunity to meet in a place like Kasarani and endorse the merger. That is one thing I support. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, members of the respective parties that want to merge have been given an opportunity in this law, and a timeframe within which to decide and tell them they can finish their term and join another political party. A period of time has been provided in order to remove the element of coercion and dictation. In the previous law, what we used to have as coalition-building and mergers were being done in a very informal way by the political parties, and then they deposit that with the Acting Registrar of Political Parties. Now we have it in law such that ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I want to say it here to my colleagues in CORD that if there are people who will take Kenya back to the dark days, it is the re-branding and the noise from KANU. If my friend Senator Gideon Moi wants to have a party, he had better look for another party. That is because the history of KANU is so tainted that even if you wash it 10 times or take it to the best drycleaner in town, you cannot clean it up. This is another former KANU man. I am ready to handle all former KANU members. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Now that you have allowed three points of orders, first, the last Secretary-General of KANU, Baba na Mama party is the current leader of the CORD Coalition, Hon. Raila Odinga. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Let me finish. The current leader of the Wiper Party, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, was the longest serving Organizing Secretary of KANU. The current leader of FORD (K) was not only a senior member of KANU, but was nominated several times as its legal advisor. Finally, to Hon. Wamunyinyi, when we went for the 2013 General Election, KANU supported the Amani Coalition. They never voted for President Uhuru Kenyatta. I agree on our side that the President was the Chairman of KANU and the Deputy President was, at one time, its Secretary General. Putting all those together, even if all of ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: That is why from our side, we are not in agreement with this animal called re-branding of KANU. Our only worry is the former leaders of KANU such as the Right Hon. Prime Minister and the former Vice-President. We must ensure that, as we go to the elections, we do not bring those people to your coalition because of the history of that party. The only thing which is associated with me in KANU is that I drank their milk and went to Moi University. That was paid for by the taxpayers. Universities are not run by KANU. So, my ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am categorical. As we went to the 2013 General Election, KANU formed a coalition with the Amani Coalition of Hon. Musalia Mudavadi who was just about to be beaten by a small man called “Dida” from my region in the Elections. I want to go on record. In Baringo County where the Senator got 108,000 votes, Musalia Mudavadi, his presidential candidate, got less than 25 votes. So, they were not in our coalition then. But when we formed the Government, they had a choice to join the CORD Coalition or the Jubilee Coalition for them ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: cows to the wrong place. So, currently, they are cohabiting with us. We are telling them that now there is a Bill before the House for all parties that want to merge. In the Elections of 2013, we had no coalition agreement with KANU. Hon. Omar Mwinyi, a man I respect knows what we went through under KANU. So, we do not want to go back that route. view
