• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose this Bill. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I sat and listened to all people who were supporting. They must listen to me so that I inform the other Members. What is Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa trying to amend? He is trying to amend Section 25 of the Political Parties Act. What does it say? Section 25(1)(a) says:- “The Fund shall be distributed as follows – (a) Ninety five per cent of the Fund proportionately by reference to the total number of votes secured by each political party in the preceding general election.” Section 25 (1) (b) says:- “Five per cent for the administration expenses of ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: “more than two-thirds of its registered office bearers are of the same gender”. This is another thing which Hon. Chris Wamalwa is avoiding. Why are you only caring about amending the resource aspect of it? Why can you not amend the two-third gender rule and say that any political party can be of only one gender? Today, one of the hottest issues in our country is the two-third gender rule. If you allow me, these amendments want to reduce the 5 per cent threshold in Section 25(2)(a) to 2 per cent. I want to tell Members that Hon. Wamalwa also ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: If you allow me, please, I listened to you. What is the objective and the principle of a political party? It is to ascend to power. Political parties are created to sell their policies, appeal to the voters, ascend to power and go to State House. If they miss State House, they become a very strong opposition. The die is cast.

• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: You are either a serious opposition political party or you are in Government. You cannot have your cake and eat it. The amendment is saying that if I lose in the next election, I will go look for a political party and the money that I will get from a political party will help me. In fact, Kenyans will not even look for jobs. They will form political parties in order to make money. Everywhere in the world, the essence of the formation of political party is to acquire political power, to form government or be a very strong alternative ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker that is my opinion. It is enshrined under the Standing Orders and the Constitution. Every Member will give his opinion. In my opinion, amending this law will create tribal parties. When you have 25 Members of Parliament, for example, you have done very well. In the next elections, you should target to reach 50. Next election you will beat TNA, URP or ODM and you will form a coalition. In parties, you work hard. The same way when you leave university, you must work hard and have career progression. Political parties must have progression. What is the ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: that there are always two horses. I am happy in our country even in 2017, we will have two horses - President Uhuru Kenyatta versus the Former Prime Minister. The race will be the same. That is my own opinion again. If you allow me, Hon. Deputy Speaker, the proposed threshold does not--- view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: My opinion cannot raise temperatures. There must be tolerance in the House because it is a good virtue. My opinion cannot make you intolerant. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, before I joined Jubilee, I was a senior member of ODM. I know the intrigues of politics and the future of ODM. I know the candidates and the ones who are the horses and donkeys. There are always horses and donkeys in every election. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: In my opinion, there will be two horses. There will be a repeat of the match of 2013. From where I sit, we are only focussing on the horses. We are not focussing on the donkeys. We are a serious coalition. We do not deal with perception. I am happy that Members are very tolerant. They have to be tolerant. That is a good virtue to divergent opinion in our country. Parliament has established a threshold for public funding of political parties to encourage democracy, create cohesion and make sure that we move away from tribal parties so that those ... view
