Makali is an authority on economics. That is why we consult him when it comes to the budget, but that does not mean that we agree with him.

5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly:
Why I oppose the amendment is that this House gave the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) timelines. This amendment is introducing a new timeline that the IEBC must go around the country to test the parameters of service providers. That can take 60 days or 90 days. There are areas which do not have network. So, what are you going to test?

I urge my colleague that at this stage, we have less than 100 days to the elections. The timelines of the IEBC are already critical and we must have an election on 8th August. I really want to ask, Hon. Musimba, the only man who won twice as an independent, to drop the amendment.

What is the representation? It proposes the Majority Party and Minority Party to have two representatives each. We already have one representative each.

That is over-legislation and we are opposing it. Hon. Nyenze had a different shade of opinion.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not afraid of the Member for Kibwezi East. One, I do not belong to their party, so I am not seeking a nomination certificate from their party leader. Two, I have said it many times here that I have three more chances if I needed to marry another wife, but I have not made that intention. Thirdly---
