• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Chief Whip in order to mislead the House that because I am not a Member of his party, his nominees will not be subjected to my vote when we know that when we shall be voting tomorrow, Members of Parliament will carry nine votes? They will vote for nominees from all the political parties that have succeeded. Is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that the shortage of OCPDs can be cured by recruitment of university students into the force. When does the Assistant Minister intend to recruit the graduates? How many does he want to recruit and when is the recruitment going to take place? view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek for guidance from the Chair in respect of the ongoing nominations and eventual election for the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). As you are aware, this process is time bound. Therefore, if I sit on this point of order, it could be overtaken by events. The point of order I am making is in respect of the nomination rules, so that I am together with Members of Parliament where I am driving, allow me to refer that there are only two rules that I would like ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: The first one is rule No.5 and 6. Rule No.5(1) says that in order to be validly nominated as a candidate, a person shall be nominated by a party in the form set out in the schedule. Rule No.5(2) says that a party shall nominate candidates through a transparent and democratic process and shall keep a written record of the proceedings at which the final decision to nominate any candidate is made. Rule No.6 says that a party shall be entitled to nominate for election under these rules any number of candidates not exceeding three times the figure arrived at ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: In accordance with Rule 6, three times five nominees should be presented to the House by the ODM and that is 15. Applying the same to PNU, it is four times three which is 12 nominees. This is the number of nominees that should be presented in the House by the PNU. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has come to my attention that PNU has complied – it has brought 12 names. The ODM has brought nine names. I am seeking your guidance because I believe that if we allow the ODM to fall short of the 15 names, they might not necessarily have flouted the law; the law gives them that leeway. However, on this sensitive issue, where over 180 Kenyans applied, we would like to have the record of the proceedings within the ODM tabled. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. Let me finish and then she can take me on. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am requesting that the Chair directs that ODM does this House a favour by tabling a record of the proceedings of their meetings, so that we understand why after having a plethora of names to choose from, they have failed to give us the maximum 15 nominees, so that when I vote, I am not limited to the nine names that they chose. I should be given the 15 nominees that view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I am doing this in good faith. I have two points. First, this process is time bound. This means that if by the time the Committee brings the report here it will not have been given an opportunity to look at the 15 names if you so allow, then it will mean that these six people will have been denied an opportunity. More importantly, how do I come in to address the issue of another political party? Hon. Members, when we vote for the names of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) members, the voting ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 2 by inserting the following new definition in proper alphabetical sequence “publication” means the act of publishing or making known to the people at large, either by words, writing or printing”. If hon. Members will notice in the actual Bill, we did not provide for a definition of the word “publication” and because this Bill is essentially about publication, it is important that the meaning of “publication’ be included. Why this is important is because when I was doing consultations with stakeholders, the media ... view
