• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support that amendment. Let us not become the voters. Let us provide for legislation and let him or her put his case to the voters, if he or she comes back, well and good. If he or she does not, too bad. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with my Chair. This is unnecessary. Nothing will stop the Commission, under its normal operations, from getting in touch with any other Ministry, individual or corporation. So, this is an unnecessary amendment. So, I oppose. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is, indeed, an omission and for purposes of the record, it has to be very clear. We wish to inform the Chair that the amendment the Committee is moving is on Clause 10(1). view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Members are consulting so loudly, I can barely hear myself. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate when you are a woman in a political party or when you are a youth in a political party. In this House, each party committed sin in as far as women are concerned. Let us start with my own party so that I deal with the other parties.

If this law was there, that could not have happened. Men like asking women to vote for them but when it comes to giving them 30 per cent of the nominees, we do not want to do that. If we are genuine as men, we should endorse this clause. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you know, he is only looking on one side of the coin. Let us now turn the other side of the coin where all parties are guilty.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, so that hon. Members are not lost--- view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I am happy that Mr. Kimunya is not lost. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am in total agreement with the proposal that we reject 10 years, purely, because if an election offence is committed, and you are told that from the date of conviction - Chances are that the date of conviction is not the same as the date of election.
