• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: as we do because 26th October is the election date. We are glad that the courts have followed the law and realised that everybody has a right to participate. With those remarks, I support. view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill and to also add my voice to that of my colleagues who have spoken before me and thank them for their support and contributions. Let me also begin by congratulating the Committee that did an excellent work, led by the Chairpersons, Hon. Cheptumo and Sen. Fatuma Dullo. We have had a lot of concerns raised and I think the same have been raised by the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, about the timing at which we are changing these laws. I ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Court (ICC), the Deputy President acted as the President in his absence. I, therefore, see no reason why anyone would have a problem with such an important amendment. There is also the whole issue of quorum. When we were passing the IEBC (Amendment) Act, remember the former IEBC had nine members and the quorum was five, about half of that number. However, when we reduced the number of Commissioners to seven, we still kept our quorum to five, which was wrong. We should have revised that quorum downwards. I am completely in support of us moving the quorum to four ... view

• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. Let me thank all the Members that have contributed to this important Motion. Although I know it is coming at a time when matters national are taking centre stage, there is no doubt in my mind that this Protocol is long overdue. It is about time we ratified it as Parliament according to the Constitution and more importantly, so that we can give Kenya a good chance to participate meaningfully and effectively in the EAC and ensure that Kenyans enjoy the privileges that go with being members of this ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I look forward to the entire membership ratifying the Protocol at the appropriate time, so that we can move forward. As was mentioned earlier by one of our colleagues, we are also aware The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: that we do not yet have our representation in the EALA, which means that our engagement at that level maybe wanting. I hope we will deal with what is ahead of us, so that we can send our representation to EALA. view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. We know we only have a few days to the elections. Elections are less than 30 days away from today. We know very well that there are certain ills that were even noted by the Supreme Court in the judgement that we, as parliamentarians, have a role to rectify. It is wrong for a Member of Parliament to cease playing their role of legislation even where they can see clearly that this legislation is meant for the good of the people.
