• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: matter before us is whether the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill is constitutional. We are raising the unconstitutionality of it. So, the Leader of the Majority Party must restrict himself to that aspect and refrain from taking us through the sideshows of practices and precedents. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not want to interrupt my colleague and the Leader of the Majority Party. I think what Hon. TJ raised is that we use the Constitution and Standing Orders. In the event where the Speaker finds necessary, then you go to traditions of other jurisdictions and practices. Where you do not find all those, then the Speaker uses Standing Order 1. That is the matter. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party is out of order to mislead this House that we are raising a matter of constitutionality under Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.126. Hon. Otiende Amolo raised other provisions in law and we are now at the constitutionality of a piece of legislation before the House. So, you cannot bring the issue of precedence. The Leader of the Majority Party needs to guide us. I am a ranking Member. I must say it, and this has been so. Even in other jurisdictions, the issue of precedence arises ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation to annul in its entirety the contribution and spending limits for political parties and candidates for the purposes of the 2022 General Elections in the draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations. It is very unfortunate that although Article 88(4)(i) of the Constitution gives the IEBC the mandate to regulate the amount of money that might be spent by candidates and political parties, the IEBC decided to take this matter very casually and disregarded the law. For this House not to be blamed by either the ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Second, was the failure to observe timelines. Where was the IEBC since 2017? Why did they have to wait until the eleventh hour to rush the Regulations and pass the statutory timelines provided for in the Statutory Instruments Act? The law requires that Election Campaign Financing Regulations must be passed at least 12 months before the next general elections. In fact, by 9th August 2021, these Regulations ought to have been concluded. Today is 23th September 2021 and we are discussing Regulations that should have been law a month ago. This piece of legislation should have been enacted one year ... view

• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The third principle that they violated - and that the Committee used - was putting the cart before the horse. Election Campaign Financing Regulations should have first been approved by the House, so that they conform to the basis of spending limits. Contrary to the law and to the Act, the IEBC published the spending limits even before this House approved the Regulations. That is un-procedural, illegal and tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. That is one of the reasons why these Regulations had to be annulled. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, in their own submission — and I have read this Report — there were serious and embarrassing errors made by the IEBC. It is embarrassing that a constitutional Commission tasked with conducting elections in this country and to determine the governance structure of our country can make such serious and embarrassing drafting errors. Why do I say so? If you read the Regulations that the Committee looked at, the title reads: “Election Campaign Financing Regulations, 2020” and the citation reads, “Election Campaign Financing Regulations, 2016”. We are now in 2021. This House is being called upon to approve Regulations ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Under your leadership, Hon. Deputy Speaker, a former Member of Parliament and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee in the 11th Parliament, passed the Campaign Financing Act and threw the ball to the IEBC to prepare the Regulations. Let us make it crystal clear for the benefit of the public that we are not against enacting laws that will help in the governance of free and fair elections. Like other democracies, we will know what has been spent by each candidate and political party. We are not rejecting it. The carriers and owners of ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: With those many reasons, I am obliged to support the Report of the Committee to annul in its entirety the contribution and spending limits for political parties and candidates for the purpose of the 2022 General Elections and reject the draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations. I am sure that the men and women who will come in the 13th Parliament will make the Regulations and that law will only apply to the 2027 General Elections. Inshallah! view
