• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: For your information, the party leader of URP then was none other than the current Deputy President. Hon. Millie Odhiambo was also nominated. She did very well and she is now a constituency Member of Parliament. She got that seat courtesy of ODM. Hon. Sofia Abdi, in 2007, was nominated by the party leader and today she is a sitting Member. There is no way you can now castigate the party leaders who brought you to this House. There are many of them here. There is also Hon. Wangari of Gilgil who came in through United Democratic Forum (UDF) Party. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It is because we are preparing you for another… This is Bill is very good. I really want the House to finish it very fast. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not want to go to the minutes because I was the Deputy Party Leader of URP then. I do not want to cite the minutes of how we nominated Sara Korere and many others. I can even table the minutes here. There was a lot of competition. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you know, I will forgive Hon. Junet for anything he says for as long as the Kibra by-election is still on. He cannot be charged in a court of law on anything he says because he is under siege in Kibra. I talked of Sunday because she is not a Muslim. At 4.00 p.m. I am going to pray, but they have to wait for Sunday. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This is a very important Bill. Let us not lose focus. We grappled with the two-third gender Bill from the 10thParliament when Hon. Martha Karua was the Minister for Justice and Legal Affairs and it could not move anywhere. Let us pass this Bill so that the youth, women and the marginalised can have a place. A Nubian in Kibera and the Elmolo in Marsabit can be Members of Parliament if we pass this law. They fall within the category of minorities and marginalised groups. This Bill proposes to amend a number of statutes. It will amend the Independent Electoral ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill seeks to amend the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, 2011 in order to do two things; one is to achieve the interpretation of Section 2 on the definition of “special interest groups”. That is a very complicated interpretation. How do you define special interest groups? We need to define them as listed in Article 100 of the Constitution; namely, women. However, who are these special interest women? Who are these PWDs? Who are the marginalised? Who are the minorities? What does “ethnically marginalised” mean? If you go to Homa Bay, for example, Hon. Mbadi is a Suba. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Two, we need to look at Section 4 in order to include among the functions of the Commission, the preparation of a voters register. There is a talk everywhere that political parties appoint their girlfriends and boyfriends. There is no world without a boyfriend or a girlfriend. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Let us not cheat ourselves. There is no woman who does not have a boyfriend. If there are, they are very few. There is no man who does not have a girlfriend. We are told that political parties are using their boyfriends and girlfriends. Is it a crime if you favour your girlfriend to come to the House? Unless you change the law and you define it by saying that they are your next of kin, we must put it in law that you cannot appoint your girlfriend to these special seats. So, this is a very good law. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Even boyfriends. But there are no women party leaders. So, I do not think we have boyfriends here. In the Political Parties Act, what do we amend? Under the Act forming the IEBC, we must tackle the section on interpretation. Under IEBC, we must give the power to prepare the party list for nomination. This may be through a process decided in the regulation. The IEBC must do vetting of the party list. Is the person being presented a relative of Hon. Duale? That must be put in the regulations. Otherwise, if we do not do it and then I ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: They were hardly 18 women MPs then. Today, with the County Women Representatives, they are over 78 women MPs. So, I disagree with that proposal and I will oppose it. There should be no party lists in nominations. Men and women must compete. If Hon. Jessica won her seat twice; Hon. Sara Korere won her seat after we nominated her against a tough man called Hon. Lempurkel; the Member for Rangwe; Hon. Wangari and Hon. Alice Wahome won their seats and came to this House, half of the 47 County Women Representatives sitting in this House must become constituency MPs ... view
