• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the future governor of Homa Bay County, you do not need to be keen right now because you will be a governor in your next life. This one is for the people who want to become IEBC commissioners. The observation of the Committee was that the number of 11 was a bit too high. Although we recognize the fact in some of the proposals of stakeholders like the IEBC itself and Kenya National Commission on Human Rights were emphasizing that in provision of Article 10 of the Constitution, on National Values and Principle of Governance, we ... view

• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I urge my colleagues to support this straightforward recommendation. Let us have a selection panel of seven members in place. That amendment will come in the Committee of the Whole, so that we can competitively recruit and allow the President to appoint. Therefore, the IEBC should be up and running. We should ensure that in case of any referendum or any other issues on delimitation of boundaries, the IEBC is fully constituted and have a mandate to be able to perform. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: As the BBI meeting moves to Narok County – Sen. Olekina who will be hosting is here – they will tell people that we should also have electoral justice and integrity, by ensuring that we have in place a selection panel that will allow some of these things to be done in a transparent, fair, simple and honest way. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we have electoral justice and integrity, when the results come in either way and that the process has been fair and the commission is beyond reproach, like the famous Caesar’s wife, it becomes easy to accept the results. We need to put in place an IEBC which is very good, so that some people, who are perennial losers, can accept that they have lost, and the winners accept they have won. view

• 19 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard my colleague, Sen. M. Kajwang', saying this was not bi-partisan approach. It was bi-partisan because Members of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, the Senate Minority Leader and the Senate Minority Whip appended their signatures. I want to assure my brother, Sen. M. Kajwang,' that the decision that the Committee made was bi-partisan. Finally, we have attached the amendments schedule to the Report of the Committee such that when it comes to the Committee of the Whole, you will understand why we have reduced the number from 11 to seven. ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I support the Statement by the distinguished Member of the Nairobi City County delegation, Sen. Kwamboka. As the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations and the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare have rightly put it, late last year, we visited the Industrial Area Remand Prison in Nairobi. We had a meeting with various heads of department and a kamukunji with the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. It ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: the right time to look into the issues raised by Sen. Kwamboka, as a Committee. The Senate Committee on Finance and Budget and the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly should look into ways of allocating more funds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is interesting that most of our prison facilities do not have biometric registration. It is only a few. How do we monitor prisoners because we have cases where some of them have been killed? We have had cases where some people have been killed in police custody. It is sad that some of the land belonging ... view
