• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the very core, this Bill tries to streamline and accord regards to the decision of other courts in both 2017 court challenge as well as the Katiba Institute Decision of 2018. Furthermore, I am reliably advised that the Committee may be making some The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: amendments to this to make it even more elaborate to avoid any doubt and I am sure by the time we come to the Committee of the whole House, we would have the benefit of what the Bill proposes, and what the Committee is fine-tuning it into, so that we can avoid having to go against the decision or have an election nullified on a matter of process or just an amendment coming from this House. view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: The other bit I did mention is that the Bill has mandated the Commission to ensure the establishment of a complimentary mechanism for transmission of results. I am reliably informed that the regulations are currently being worked on and should be in the House for consideration within time, certainly before the House breaks. This is the crux of the matter. I know there is also an issue that Members have raised on some amendment to Section 27(16) of the Act, which is basically looking at closing some window. I just want to highlight that currently, independent candidates as per the ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: It seemed unfair that first of all, people were almost being stopped from moving from one political party to another after the nominations, but you can become an independent candidate. Also, it seemed unfair for people who really put a lot of effort into the election and the people they beat in a nomination come back to challenge them as independent candidates. It does not look fair and I think that is why the IEBC, as part of tidying up, requested that we need to synchronise those two dates, so that what is good for the goose is also good ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: is about sorting out between what is a nomination, which is within the realm of the Political Parties Registrar, and what is the registry of candidates, which is within the IEBC. Terms which are being confused because they are contained and we keep talking about nominations, but we clarify all those. view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: The other is defining political parties. It is within here in accord with what is defined in the Political Parties Act just for avoidance of doubt. I am very happy that when we were doing the Political Parties Act, we had opposition because people thought we were creating a coalition for one side of the House. In the event, we now have two coalitions running, namely, the Azimio Coalition on one hand and the Kenya Kwanza Alliance on the other side. So, the law we did has helped both sides of the divide to move forward. For them to actualise ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: I am very passionate about this thing. I am very happy that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has been looking at this Bill even when it was a legislative proposal. They had a lot of time with the IEBC and discussed it. Even by the time it came for publication, I am sure that they had already agreed on most of the issues. On that note, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the Bill and request Hon. T. J. Kajwang’, the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, to second. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House: The County Governments Budget Implementation Review Report for the first half of the FY 2021/2022 from the Office of the Controller of Budget. The Fourteenth Edition of Bi-Annual Report on the Status of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Control in Kenya for the period from January to June 2021, from the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Reports of the Auditor-General and Financial Statements in respect of the following institutions for the year ended 30th June 2021, and the certificates ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: (b) Embakasi West. Report of the Auditor-General and Financial Statement of Siaya Institute of Technology for the year ended 30th June 2019 and the certificate therein. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: I think the need for these amendments came from request on the Floor of this House to harmonise all these regulatory bodies with those where the House had already passed similar rules and laws. If you look across, about all of them have a requirement of a 10 years’ experience for the Chairman. It would be unfair to go to the Quality Control Board and tell them to provide for less years while the other chairmen are required to have a 10 years’ experience. You will realise that all the amendments coming from the regulatory bodies and ones that were ... view
