• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The Committee having gone through and meet the IEBC, picked out certain salient issues. Unlike other regulations that are made under other statutory sections, Section 29(1) of the Elections Campaign Financing Act, 2013 requires that the regulations made by the Commission under the Act ought to be read before the National Assembly and approved by the House before they are published in the gazette. This is an affirmative resolution by the House. Therefore, the latest possible timeline that the IEBC ought to have placed these regulations before us was Monday, 9th August 2021, since the elections are in 9th August ... view

On the contrary, the IEBC submitted the draft Regulations very late in the day, which will not allow the Committee time to consider them with the set timelines ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: and brought them again in 2020 without carrying out any public participation. We all know that elections are very volatile and emotive in this country. So, they went ahead to do so without carrying out any public participation. (vii) The IEBC indicated that it had submitted amendments to the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to amend the parent Act in 2019 to enable it make rules to regulate election campaign financing and that this amendment has not been acted upon. Again, we do not act on proposed Bills. We go by what has been assented to ... view

• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was saying that I wish to thank all the Members who have made their contributions this afternoon. Hon. Members, it is not lost on us that we agree that election campaign financing should be regulated. However, the IEBC must get its act together. They should not just rush and bring regulations to this House then incite members of the public against parliamentarians. One Member has pointed out that IEBC, without any colour of thought, gazetted these Regulations before they were approved by the House and everybody was like: “Look! Members must stick to these ... view

• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to have a say on this one and support it. We must appreciate that what the Counsel is seeking has been done by the previous Chief Justice, Hon. Maraga. He automated the court systems. The current Chief Justice is also on record as saying that she is going to enhance matters of ICT in the court systems.

So, in as much as we are going ICT, we need to have more judicial officers to deal with these matters. Of ... view
