• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, Hon. Kioni also joined Parliament at the same time with Hon. Millie and Hon. Mbadi. The framers of the Constitution gave him powers from Article 93 to 95. To protect the citizens of this country from a future or current rogue Parliament, the President has been given powers under Article 115 to protect the people. While exercising his powers under the Constitution, he is questioning the powers of the President, who has been elected by the people of Kenya to protect them. Is he in order? Members of Parliament and Hon. Kioni, nobody can force you to be ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairperson… We know that we are not 233. I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the President’s Reservations to the Law of Contract (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 1 of 2019) and its approval thereof without amendments. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Following Hon. Millie’s contribution, and my reading of this Section 5, the Chair, Hon. Kioni, is saying that this law will give the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) the powers to develop a criterion, say, through a regulation, on how to identify the marginalised and the minorities. But Hon. Sankok is talking about what happens on the voting day. He is talking of how to help people with disability on the voting day. No! This is about the criteria. Where Hon. Millie and Hon. Mbadi come from, they fall under the minority and the marginalised, but Hon. Kaluma cannot ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Am I not right? So, there are big tribes and small minorities, like Hon. Millie, Hon. Mbadi and I. He wants IEBC to develop a criterion that says Suba is a minority within the reading of Nyanza ethnic bloc, or that Hon. Duale’s clan is a minority within that. I think that is what Hon. Kioni is saying. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not think that the Chairman wants to help democracy to get its roots very well. He is taking this country back to the days of briefcase parties. We cannot legislate for emergence of briefcase parties. If a party cannot set up a website whose cost is about Ksh50,000, then it should not be called a political party. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I oppose the amendment and ask the House to oppose it too. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I thought Hon. Kioni was in the 10th Parliament when we enacted the Political Parties Act that created the Political Parties Fund. The essence or objective of the Fund was to kill briefcase parties owned by individuals. Today, I confirm that the headquarters of ODM and those of Jubilee Party are similar to the headquarters of the Conservative Party and Labour Party in London. I have been there. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Let me give you a scenario: there is a possibility that a president can have less MPs, less governors and less senators because maybe all his candidates took the second position but he has no Members of Parliament here. It happened in the 10th Parliament. Kibaki was the President. I was in ODM. He had only 48 MPs. The Party of National Unity (PNU) had only 48 MPs while The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: ODM had 106 MPs. Let me go on record. Coalition is different. Hon. Mbui is bringing an amendment because he is in a coalition but the money belongs to ODM. The money on our side belongs to Jubilee. Whether you have five MPs, six MPs, you are a squatter. You can only get money on our mercy. We must go the way of the United States of America (USA) and other developed democracies. This country will be more stable and parties will have discipline if we have two major parties. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The problem with this amendment is that you are telling us somebody who has come to this House with two or three MPs is going to share resources with Jubilee, which has 170 MPs; and with ODM, which has close to 100 MPs. It is taxpayers’ money. The die is cast. You are supposed to work hard. The ODM worked hard and sold their ideology. Jubilee also sold their ideology. If the people of Kenya denied you the 5 per cent margin in the law, I urge this House to reject this amendment. view
