• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support this proposal by Mr. Ethuro. My reason is that we have had incidences before where people are rigged out in their political parties and they have nowhere to go. We are talking about independent candidates. They are independent and the voters are not independent. You may be liked by your voters and they may not like the parties which you associate with. Let me take an example, URP is popular in my place and if I am rigged out from the URP or I cannot get nomination in URP, I want to go ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I was giving an example that if I stand in ODM versus somebody from URP in my place, I will not be elected by the people. Therefore, I come in as an independent candidate. “Independent” candidate means that I do not associate myself with any party and, therefore, I will appeal to voters to elect me.

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with what my colleagues are talking about but the issue is on Order No.9. I thought that despite the fact we can even discuss Order Nos.12 and 13 tomorrow, the other business tomorrow is not only the Budget, so why do we not pass that Motion? If we carry the day, fine, but if not, then we proceed so that we can come in the afternoon. I thought you will make a ruling tomorrow afternoon. We may decide not to go on recess tomorrow so that we ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to talk about my amendment, which is relatively similar to the one we are dealing with. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, to be on record I want to say that the import of the amendment is the same as that of Mr. Ethuro, and I am very comfortable with that. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. There was also an amendment by hon. Chanzu to Section 22 which you did not even table. You moved to Sections 28 and 29 without ventilating on all the amendments which are dealing with that section. Just like we have been dealing with all the sections, you should view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could hon. Sonko clarify who these politicians are? view
