Rule 6(1) of the EALA Act states that member States’ political parties get slots based on their respective political strengths in the House. In this case, the Jubilee Coalition’s slot is five and the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is four. Based on parliamentary strength, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will have three slots and the Wiper Democratic Movement will have one slot. Rule 6(1) of the EALA Act does not talk about the maximum number of nominees, but it says if you are given four slots, you must bring more than the four. You can bring five, six, ...

Our colleagues want to bring four nominees, which is against the rule. The information out there is meant to ring-fence certain candidates.

11 May 2017 in National Assembly:
One nominee is the son of a party leader and the other one – I was told but I am not sure – is the chairman of an election board in one of the parties. Those parties want to circumvent the rule of law to ring-fence those two individuals. The voters in this election are the 349 Members of this House. It will be done by secret ballot. The party leaders out there are not voters. They can only influence and campaign. They can campaign for you but they cannot vote for you here. Therefore, if you are a Chief ...

11 May 2017 in National Assembly:
For the first time, I want to thank Hon. Oburu Odinga, if he is not here. I have nothing against him. If the son of President Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta was here, I could have rejected him. If the brother of the Deputy President, Hon. William Ruto, was here I could have rejected him. It is very sad when you are a leader of a political party and a presidential running mate, and you want to give a slot for the rank and file of the political party to your son. I have a son. My first born is 20 years ...

11 May 2017 in National Assembly:
the seat. We do not have political dynasties in this country. We want sons and daughters of Kenyans who are members of political parties. If I look at the list of Wiper Democratic Movement, there is a professional with a PhD qualification called Dr. Mutie from Kitui. That is the guy who should be given the slot. There are forces that want to circumvent the process. We want you not to allow it to happen.
