28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
THAT, aware that the country is still in an election cycle, arising out of the requirement for a fresh Presidential Election in October, 2017; further aware that there is need to legislate on and address certain legal lacunas and incompliance with judicial decisions asking Parliament to legislate on certain matters to ensure that the elections conform with the provisions of Article 81 of the Constitution on general principles for the electoral system; noting that such election-related matters would ordinarily require consideration by the relevant Committee of the House which is yet to be established; further noting the limited period of ...

move on. Their space is there. Parliament cannot, under your leadership, be hijacked by a few people, so that its sittings and functions within the Constitution are controlled by these people.

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.39 of 2017) seeks, among other things, to amend Section 39 of the Elections Act by deleting the provisions on provisional results which were declared unconstitutional by the High Court and the Court of Appeal by creating clarity on Section 83 which deals with provisions of non-compliance with the law. This is very clear. Section 39(2) of the Elections Act provided for a provisional result. That section was annulled in the Maina Kiai Case, both by the High Court and subsequently by the Court of Appeal. In the absence of that, this ...

public in its report when they are tabling it. Further noting that we have less than 28 days to 26th October 2017, being the date for the fresh presidential elections, and recognising the urgent need to consider and conclude all these matters relating to the election in order to allow the IEBC to use this law, I propose that this House resolves that the Select Committee considers matters under its mandate and report to the House on or before 10th October 2017. As I conclude and it has been the practice, whenever the House establishes a Select Committee to consider ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
With your permission, the reason I am saying this is because last night until this afternoon, serious stakeholders and friends were calling me. They were telling me: “You Jubilee, you have a card under the table.” Allow me one minute to say that we have no card under the table. We want this Committee to talk to every Kenyan. If Kenyans feel this law is not relevant, they will decide. With those many remarks, I beg to move and ask the only surgeon in the House, to my knowledge, Hon. Pukose, to second. I think he is a surgeon. I ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
(HBC) or a Committee feels the urgency. We are not committing any crime this morning. Rather, we are working within Standing Order No.120. Secondly, the first three Bills on the list lapsed during the 11th Parliament. We are just re- publishing them. The Copyright (Amendment) Bill and the Election Offences (Amendment) Bill were introduced in the 11th Parliament. I am sure when we form committees and as they mature, you will deal with them. One of the functions of a Member of Parliament is to legislate. Nobody can deny Members of Parliament that fundamental role for it is in the ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
I want Members, business leaders, the clergy and everybody else to read this Bill. I want to go on record to warn those who are out there opposing the amendments to this Bill and yet they have not read it. There is no single section in this Bill which talks about the Judiciary or the Supreme Court. I dare anybody either watching me on television or sitting in this House to show me where we are curtailing…The functions and independence of the Judiciary is well anchored in the Constitution. As a member of Jubilee and the Member of Parliament for ...
