• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me propose that we recommit it so that the Minister and the Chair of the Committee can be clear and we deal with it at the end because it is important. Somebody can just put enough papers in the envelope and seal it; your agents may have gone to sleep. Then they stuff them in and when they reach the tallying centre they say that the new ones are now valid and so they become genuine votes. This might look very small for county and presidential elections but in terms of ward elections, people ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. You will bear with me that it is starting to dawn on us that we are getting tired. There is a small, but very important issue which is forcing me to request for recommital of Regulation 88. Regulation 88 is speaking to the issue of gazettement and announcement of the results of the Presidential elections. When it talks about the Commission, we have to be specific in law, who in the Commission is doing it, lest two different people within the Commission announce two different results. So, I want us ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although I spoke to this, imagine a situation whereby you have provided that for the presidential election, the tallying centre is here in Nairobi. So, it will mean that boxes will come from all the corners of the country, so as to be re-opened at the tallying centre for the presidential election in Nairobi to get to know what was objected and what was rejected. It was a recipe for allowing stuffing of ballots and, therefore, affecting the final presidential result. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to support the amendment. Hon. Members, let us go back to the situation at the KICC in 2007. If this kind of law that we are amending was in existence, then Mr. Kivuitu would have announced the results that he did while someone else would have announced the other results. So, if we leave this there, then that means that we are inviting the same scenario and it could play out. This is now clearer. I support. view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead the House by pretending that there is no nexus view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Mudete place that the Assistant Minister has talked about is where we come from. The problem is not only limited to Vihiga, but the same challenge is in Shinyalu, Ikolomani, Khwisero and Sabatia constituencies. Up to and including the day before yesterday, I was there. Could the Assistant Minister tell us where the increased centres are, for example, in Ikolomani where I come from? It is important because this is adversely affecting our farmers. The Assistant Minister should table the new centres that have been created and the list of the new clerks who have ... view
