• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the reason for this small amendment where we are introducing the word “may” is because the clause says that once you have lost in the recall case, you are blocked from running in the subsequent election. We are now introducing this because as they say, in politics, two weeks is a long time. If the Member who lost his seat because of a recall in court has enough strength to convince voters in his constituency, let him be allowed to run and then the voters will decide whether the court was right or it was imposed ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I can very well understand what is putting pressure on Mr. Abdikadir. Because we all live in this country, we know how sensitive this matter is but there is a difference between our concern and our sensitivity to the challenge that we are faced with by only one challenge - the issue of implementation. When you are talking about nominated positions, you as the party boss, you are the giver of those positions but when you talk about elective positions, you might be the party leader but you are not the giver. The giver is ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to oppose this proposal that we delete with reference to the current way of announcing results where they are almost real time. In a situation where they are real time, because of mobile telephony, the candidate and his agents are able to get the results slightly ahead of the tallying centre. So, when you are following the tallying and your agents tell you that if the votes of a particular polling station arrive, they will materially affect the results, there is nothing that will stop you from instructing your supporters them to cause chaos ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to appeal to hon. Members to listen to the many years of experience of Mr. Orengo in matters of petitions. The law, as it stands, provides that the sins of your agents can be visited on you as a candidate. There is nothing that will stop your agent from being involved in a bar brawl which will then be converted into an election offence; that you went and beat people. Then you are locked out for ten years for an offense which you did not commit. Let us punish offenders for five years, which ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I support the amended version. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want to remind hon. Members why we should adopt this amendment. Hon. Members, you will remember when we passed the so-called “Mututho” law, we passed a very good law but when we allowed the regulations to be drafted without the approval of this House the regulations that have been taken to the field are so bad on the ground that, if they had been brought here, some of them would never have been approved. So, I propose that we support the amendment so that whatever regulations that will come because we are the principal ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Whereas I agree with you that it was dealt with earlier on, if you allow me, I will show you the difference. In Dr. Nuh’s amendment, which he has allowed me to move for him, there are two parts, namely, 26(1), which was dealt with earlier on in the afternoon. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, allow me to move New Clause 26A(2) only, which reads:- “Subsection (1) shall not apply to a person who served as a Member of Parliament before the commencement of this Act”. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: He has numbered it as section 1 on his amendments. Then I am moving (2). The first one, we resolved that a person shall qualify for nomination to the Office of the President, Deputy President, County Governor, Deputy Governor and Member of Parliament if that person holds a degree. Earlier on in the afternoon, we resolved that issue and left out part (2), which I now want to prosecute. I beg to move:- THAT, Subsection (1) shall not apply to a person who has not served as a Member of Parliament before the commencement of this Act. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The import of this is that when we bring those people who are going to come here with higher standards of education, they will come to start learning the Standing Orders and how to move Motions. view
