• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.20, this House extends the sitting time to the conclusion of the business appearing on the Order Paper. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I fully agree with the sentiments of hon. Mbadi that, indeed, this amendment is stating the obvious. There is no way the Commission will do whatever it has to do without liaising with all the different Government departments, but by putting it in law, we are telling them to liaise with the Ministry in charge of registration and perhaps no other person. It is superfluous and it does not add value to the Bill, but could cause view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to oppose this amendment and urge the Committee to withdraw it on the basis that, as we were looking through this Bill, it became very clear that obligating people to carry a voter’s card in addition to an identification card has been abused in the past, with all those voters cards being bought and we have seen that in every election.

So, basically, the intention is good, but we must remember ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are either getting tired or we are being over-selective. The issue under (c) is not about the making of a statement but it is the issue of a statement being made deliberately to affect the return by deliberately making a false statement on your personal character or conduct. Imagine a situation where people go to Mandera Town and say that hon. Abdikadir, who has been here, was last night caught in Koinange Street. Surely, people in Mandera are likely to see you in a different light. The people spreading that kind of rumour will affect ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, protect me. I want to complete what I am saying very fast. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: No! No! You know the context in which I have said it. In 2007, we came to this House with some Bills to criminalise hate speech and control the manner--- view
