• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am wondering if the Member is concerned about “who”. The “who” is the Commission which has been defined as the commission mentioned in the IEBC Act, which is the IEBC itself. So, it is the IEBC that may appoint and may use the Kenya’s representatives apart from the political appointees. So, it is the Commission. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support that amendment. Its import is to delete the word “use” and insert the word “appoint”. Then delete the word “foreign”. Then we will cover the concerns raised by hon. Odhiambo-Mabona. I support the amendments on 33E. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT the proposed Regulation 34 be amended by deleting sub- regulation (2) and substituting therefor the following- (2) The registration officer shall require, satisfactory proof that a voter’s card has been lost or destroyed. The import of this is that the discretional language that was used in 34(2) gave too much discretion to the registration officer on whether to replace a card or not. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT the proposed regulation 36 in paragraph (a) be amended by inserting the words “at least seven days to the date of hearing” immediately after the word “sent”. This is with regard to the registration officer giving notice. We are introducing that the notice should be provided, at least, seven days to the date of the hearing. That is the amendment. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the proposed regulation 40 be amended - (a) By deleting the words “incapacity” immediately after the words “physical” and substituting therefor the words “inability”. (b) by deleting paragraph (c). This is basically replacing the word “incapacity” with the word “inability” because we thought the word “inability” will specify the issue better. We are also proposing the deletion of “c” because we have already provided for signification of a person who does not have hands or thumbs in another sub regulation. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the proposed regulation 41 be deleted – We are saying that this should be deleted because it has been overtaken by events because we have collapsed the two regulations into one. Therefore, the regulations apply to the registration of Kenyans in the diaspora. So, I propose that Regulation 41 be deleted. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the Regulations be amended in the Schedule as follows- (a) by deleting reference to FORM A and renumbering the rest of the schedule in proper alphabetical order. (b) by inserting the following new form immediately after FORM BB view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the beginning of that form starts with “APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION AS A VOTER; To the Registration Officer -------- constituency.” So, the space for the constituency is the beginning. We then go to “County, Ward and Registration Centre”. So, it is there. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, the issue raised by Dr. Khalwale is that which the Committee dealt with. It then realized that the debate we have been having about individuals having a voter’s card or requiring it was an important one, since these forms will remain with the electoral commission. What receipt will the voter have to prove that he or she is a registered voter? That is why there has been a clear indication that the commission shall have to give a form of receipt, which is the voters’ card, in the case of the voter who will need to prove ... view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support that amendment. It was an oversight on the part of the committee. Without anticipating debate, this has been a concern that we will be raising when we are discussing the recruitment of returning officers up to the polling clerks. So, it is an amendment that is really valid and I do support. view
