• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we all know, the IEBC is an important institution in the management of our elections. In every election, there have been issues about commissioners of the IEBC, management of elections and so on and so forth. Any attempt to reform and improve the efficiency of the IEBC is welcome. I think that is the reason the NADCO picked up this issue. It is our moment as a country and as a House to do the right thing, so that going forward, we will not be lamenting every election year that we lost elections because of ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: We now have two persons nominated by the Public Service Commission (PSC). Three persons nominated by the political party liaison, and so on. It is only two members nominated by the Inter-religious Council of Kenya. So, we have reduced the number of members to be nominated by the religious organizations to only two from the previous five. Then we now have the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) which is an important institution. I support the fact that now at least it can give us one person in the selection panel. Members have already submitted here that there is a need ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: The second point, so that I give the chance to my colleagues, is on the delimitation of the electoral boundaries. This is under Clause seven. This is an important amendment because, for the first time, we can guide the IEBC on what to consider. The Constitution has given the general framework of what IEBC should consider in doing the delimitation of boundaries. However, this law is guiding it further. This should be done because we were told by the Mover of this Bill that we have 15 wards without Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). This means that the Kenyans ... view
• 21 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree with my colleagues who have spoken before me. On the membership whose names you have read, I have no doubt in my mind that they have the capacity to match the team from the other side. When the debate on this Bill was done in the National Assembly, I had a moment to listen to the discussions. There is a very serious concerted effort to mislead the country that governors do not deserve more money. The reason which I know my colleagues heard is because they claim that there is corruption. I ... view
• 21 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I have been away for long. view
• 21 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I have been indisposed for some time, but I thank God that I am back now. In 2010, when I was serving as an Assistant Minister for Justice, there was a serious cry to have county governments so that we take our resources back there. Let us not kill that very important principle. I support. view
• 14 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have only one question. The witness went to visit the Deputy Governor with his sons. From the evidence, the sons sat far from where the Deputy Governor and the witness were conversing. I want the witness to confirm to this House that there was no discussion about the support of the Deputy Governor to secure a job for Dennis. view
• 14 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, the question I want to ask the witness is that – yesterday, Dennis confirmed that he accompanied him to the Deputy Governor’s house. Today, the witness confirmed that he visited the Deputy Governor with his sons and that the sons were sitting from the Deputy Governor and himself. Witness, kindly confirm to this House that you did not discuss anything about the support of the Deputy Governor to secure your son, Dennis, employment in the county government. Is that clear now? I believe so. view
• 13 Mar 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened keenly to the Counsel for the County Assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought your guidance was clear because the stage you are in as per the programme, is actually opening statements on behalf of the County Assembly. I am worried that if we allow further discussions, we are likely to lose track. This is not a case between this House and any of the parties. It is their case. I want to plead that, perhaps you reconsider your position. For you to be directed that you will make a finding, at this ... view
