• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am supporting the amendment by hon. Amina and inviting hon. Nyambati to shed more light on what it is that we want to self-declare. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, finally, like hon. Nyambati, I was also subjected to a by-election. To get a certificate of good conduct is not easy. If somebody makes a wild allegation against you, the police will ask for time to go and investigate that allegation. You never know whether they will have an answer in good time. It can frustrate a few people. view
• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to support hon. Amina’s amendment, but if you look at 73(4)(c), the Minister has provided that the person shall assist or support only one voter at that election and have a mark as proof of assisting or supporting a voter. The challenge sometimes I see in elections is that old women come with people from their villages. If a village has got very many voters who require to be assisted, then those women and men run out of people to assist them. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want the Minister to look at Regulation 84(1)(b). This is now at the tallying centre. By saying that we shall examine the ballot paper marked “rejection objected to and disputed” and confirm or vary the decision of the presiding officers with regard to the validity of such ballot papers--- This means that at the tallying centre, ballot boxes which will have been sealed at the polling stations, will be re-opened, unless we are imagining a situation where the rejected ballot papers will be a bundle that has been set aside. As an experienced politician, ... view

• 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
