• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The 2017 General Election is upon us and it is, therefore, prudent to interrogate any issue or matter that may affect the holding of the election at the earliest opportunity in order to assure all Kenyans the integrity of the electoral process and also inspire their confidence in the persons mandated to conduct and supervise the 2017 General Election. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Issues have also been raised on the suitability of the current electoral laws and their processes, whether they can adequately address the proper conduct of the next elections. I inform the House that currently, before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, there are a number of pieces of legislations that will deal with electoral laws. I am sure the Select Committee will borrow a leaf from these Bills which are before the House. They include the Political Parties Act which we have just amended, the Election Act, 2011and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, 2011. All these, ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: It is imperative for any attempts to reconstitute the IEBC and review the law to be done in the confines and under the supervision of Parliament. We are all under obligation to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution and any other mechanism adapted that would attain on our record as the representatives of the will of the people. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: To address the foregoing issues of concern to the people, the two coalitions have, therefore, met and agreed to a bipartisan and bicameral approach to ensure the ownership of the final product is the people of Kenya. We have agreed the recommendations that will be made and adopted by the Select Committee will ultimately come to the House and I urge my colleagues that we all come together united in the interest of the people of Kenya to support those reports and that Bill or Bills. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The proposed exercise affects the existing constitutional order and will form a precedent for all successive governments. The Inter Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) was not anchored in law. It was a gentleman’s agreement but what we are doing now that touches on a constitutional order will form part of a precedent for future successive parliaments. Any recommendation proposed shall, therefore, attract the application of the constitutional two-thirds majority for adoption prior to presentation to the two Houses. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The 14 men and women we have selected are better in terms of education, character and the way they see or better in taking care the interests of the people. Just like any other Committee, the 14 Members are representatives of both Houses. I am sure issues of gender and regional balance were raised at some quarters but at the end of the day what is important is how we get a solution that will give the people of Kenya a free, fair, transparent and peaceful general elections and the people to man it have the confidence of Kenyans. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Abraham Lincoln said that elections belong to the people and if they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds then they would have just to sit on their blisters. I am sure that at the end of the day, the people who will matter in any general elections are the voters and the electioneering. The 14 colleagues that we have selected have an uphill task; a monumental task. They need to deliver to the people of Kenya. I am sure the 40 million Kenyans and friends we have out there look up to their challenge. ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Before I conclude, I want to go on record as having said that Kenyans must choose a leader who invests in building bridges and not wars; a leader who does not disenfranchise our country along regional, political and along tribal lines. Kenyans must also choose a leader who invests in morality and not corruption; Kenyans must choose a leader who invests in stability and not fear and terror. Kenyans must invest in a leader who preaches peace not chaos; love not hate and unity not segregation. They should invest in a leader who preaches tolerance and justice not lawlessness. As ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: power. Without fear of contradiction, leadership comes from God. You must be anointed by the Almighty Allah for you to become a Member of Parliament, Senator, governor or President. If that anointment has not been done by the Almighty God, you will not see State House. With those many remarks, I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party, the Member for Kitui West and a former Minister in the KANU Government, who participated in the IPPG, has a lot of historical memory and at one stage I used to sing for him when I was in ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Withdraw that statement. view
