• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: I seek the indulgence of the House as we look for where they are or ask for this Question to be deferred to a day other than today. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.36(4), I take this opportunity to make the following Statement with regard to the business for the week commencing 4th December, 2012.

• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank hon. Ethuro for that legitimate concern. However, I want to confirm that we are not just about to be dissolved. I believe that the term of this Parliament expires on 15th January and the Government will continue until elections are held. I think there is no intention to dissolve Parliament earlier than the constitutional time. I am aware that there are many meetings. All the Heads of State of the East African Community are in town and some of the Ministers are accompanying them while others are involved in meetings view

• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, like I explained, the issue is that the Minister was here and I remember on Tuesday he actually promised to come and respond to that issue today. But he is not here now and what I would ask is we give him up to Tuesday to sort out the matter because even if we were to wait between now and the time we get him, we might delay the business of the House. In any case, I also want to ask the two Whips to go and look for the Minister and ask him to come ... view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, this House did its bit. We passed the law and made all the amendments. It is the IEBC that is supposed to gazette the regulations. The IEBC is independent as you saw even in the statement they made this week. They are independent; they do not want to be directed by the Government. They do not want to be told. We have provided them with financing. What I am aware of also is that--- view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, they are not exempt, but I am also aware that some political parties have asked their aspirants to have that clearance as part of the integrity test within the political parties. So, I am not sure who is queuing at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) or the bureaus, but as far as this House is concerned, the regulations that we passed removed all those requirements. I will take it up with the IEBC to make sure that they are gazetted for purposes of public information on what this Parliament passed and what those requirements are. ... view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am aware that the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security is in part of the EAC meetings that are taking place now; the consultations. But I will pass on the message that this Statement is long overdue and hope that it can be cleared on Tuesday. view
