• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Secondly, the Chair is trying to amend the Political Parties Act through the backdoor. We should even reject Clause 9 of the Bill. Chair, take us slowly. We want to reject what is in the Clause. For you to be a political party recognised in law, you must have the 5 per cent requirement. Hon. Mbui, Hon. Osotsi and Hon. Kioni, go and campaign. Talk to the people of Kenya. If they decided to give you 10 MPs, like Kenya African National Union (KANU) and they gave ODM close to 100 MPs and Jubilee 170, it is the people of ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: What is out of order is that the WDM-K is not the third largest party. The WDM-K is at the periphery of complying with the 5 per cent. You are misleading the House when you talk about it as being the third largest. You must be closer to the ODM, with about 90 Members, to say you are the third largest. You are just one MP off from being declared not compliant with the 5 per cent. So, do not say that the WDM-K is the third largest party in Kenya. It is wrong. Just say it is at the ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you know my history in this House and Hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona Millie is the one who really understands. We need to look at every amendment. This amendment is basically saying that if you are a Member of Parliament you cannot be nominated. Forget the other stories. The amendment seeks to ensure that the measure to be adopted in terms of new paragraph (a) shall only benefit a first-time candidate who is seeking election for the first time in Parliament or county assembly. This will, therefore, ensure that the person benefiting from the fund within the political ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: On this one, the Chair has seen the light of the day. You know this fund belongs to political parties. There is no fund for special groups and nominated MPs. The fund is supposed to be a kitty for political parties, then political parties will find a way of doing civic education within their parties to entice special groups and their interests. So, I am happy we are not micromanaging political parties. I support the deletion. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chair, there is nothing wrong if you propose your girlfriend. She is a Kenyan. And there must be a reason. But let me oppose this amendment on one ground. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: What Hon. Junet is saying is unparliamentary, so I will not repeat it. I can be thrown out. What Hon. Kioni is trying to do, I do not know whether he wants to join these special interest groups. He is creating special places for them. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is already doing what he is proposing.

• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: elections, IEBC publishes the lists. It is in the Act. And every party has a leadership hierarchy, and whatever nomination lists they propose are based on regional, gender, ethnic and religious considerations. So, this amendment is meant to micromanage political parties. I oppose. These are administrative provisions which are found within political parties’ constitutions. We cannot put what is in our parties’ constitutions and manifestoes into law. I oppose. And let the House oppose it. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order! view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we cannot solve parties’ internal disputes on the Floor of this House. We are dealing with legislation. If you were short-changed in Kilifi, that is your problem. Talk to the amendment on the party list. If the people nominated were from outside, then it means you were sleeping. The people nominated by the Jubilee Party in Garissa were a result of consultation within the party leadership. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon Temporary Deputy Chairman, these amendments seek to ensure that political parties are left to make their own determination on how they should conduct their meetings and reach their decisions in relation to submission of party lists. This is administrative and is found in the parties’ constitutions. We cannot legislate on such aspects. This is an administrative matter. Secondly, this is even found in the Political Parties Act No.11 of 2011. I will raise it in the House Business Committee tonight. Our legal team must always look at the relevant existing Acts before they approve an amendment for a Member. ... view
