• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Several Members of this Parliament have been here for four sessions, but they did not manage to achieve what I have achieved. I am also grateful to this House for the way it has conducted its business despite the fact that we were abused sometime back as pigs by the civil society. I urge the members of the civil society, who are condemning the 11th Parliament, that it is now time for them to go and eliminate the pigs through the electoral process and not through demonstrating outside the gates of Parliament. This adjournment period will also give us time ... view

• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was dosing because I have been here for a long time. I have been here since 2.00 p.m. I am also junior in this House. So, do not interfere. I would, therefore, like to contribute to this Motion on the Approval of Election-related Regulations. First, I would declare that I have full confidence in the current leadership of the IEBC. I am sure they are going to deliver credible results that will avoid a repeat of what happened in 2007 where the current President and his deputy were suspects at The Hague. We are ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: been deemed criminals who are not supposed to participate in any electoral process in this country. These regulations are going to provide clear-cut systems for inspection and verification of registers to avoid disenfranchisement of voters during the current voting system However, I have a problem with the current voter inspection exercise. The company that was assigned duties lacks experience on how to carry out voter inspection. So, we have to be careful in future to avoid such mistakes because this will be the basis of argument that an election has been rigged. The regulations also provide a framework for verification ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Bill. First, I would like to say that a person sitting for the national examinations has a right to a fair hearing when the exam is cancelled or disputed. Without an Appeals Tribunal, a student will find himself in an awkward position because he is not in a position where he or she can be given a fair hearing. He or she is condemned without being heard. This amounts to behaviours that are unconstitutional. The Appeals Tribunal will give them a fair hearing and considering ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: If you look at the case of our senior brother, the Governor for Mombasa County, he is being investigated by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). They are already in one of the primary schools where he is alleged to have gone in Mombasa. But if we had an Appeals Tribunal, he should have reported this matter first to it. It could have been handled by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology that caters for issues of examinations before the matter is formally forwarded to EACC or Criminal Investigation Department (CID). We have to give individuals fair hearing through the ... view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: tribunals. If you look at regulatory authorities or bodies, they serve as appeals tribunals for any bodies or parastatals that fall under them. Why can we not have a similar structure at the examination level? Examination is the backbone of an individual’s academic career in this country. Let me give an example. When we heard in Jubilee that there was extrajudicial execution of crime suspects without undergoing the due process of court, this is the same when you condemn a student for being involved in exam cheating without having facts and evidence. If you look at the law, it is ... view
