  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: There are many factors and safeguards that this Constitution has put on State officers. One is the impeachment process, two is the vote of no confidence, three is the censure Motion, four is the recall. These are safeguards that the Constitution has provided to checkmate the elected officials or State officers within the structure. Therefore, when you see this Bill trying to delete a section, purportedly that it was based on Wambui case or Katiba Institute case that was being decided, we are undermining the right of recall, which is a constitutional matter given as a safeguard. Therefore, I found ... view
  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: how to speak Swahili, English or sign language as provided by law. You should also have an Identity Card (ID). This is for people who are arguing that Parliament had intention of locking out any other potential people to become elected MPs or MCAs. If today we pass this proposal, it will mean there will be no need of educational requirements except to know how to read and write and to either speak in Swahili or English or sign language because those are national languages. This came from the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO). It will be up to the wisdom ... view
  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: usually say, per polling station or centre, although they use classrooms because we usually primary schools. There are places like Nairobi and other places where there is a huge population and the IEBC will be given the leeway to increase the number of polling stations to allow efficiency. This is because, sometimes, some votes will have challenges of sicknesses, disabled, expectant and others are sickly and they will be given priority. We would not want the scenario of the githeri man where a man will queue with githeri and get a Head of State commendation, while some people who have ... view
  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for those guided directions. Those were general comments. I will now delve into serious issues on election offences. I was saying that when you are moving election results from one polling station to another, there can be stuffing of ballot papers. For example, you could be taking them from Keumbu to Siongiroi and I was saying that Satan is always active during the elections period, that night and even, during nominations. Satan is always perambulating and gallivanting at that time. That is why it ties up when you look at Section 6 of the ... view
  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: If today you have ungazetted polling stations all over, rigging happens, and ballot papers are stuffed. The worst thing that happens to a country is to have the wrong person in a seat because they will not serve. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the issue of knowingly or intentionally interfering, altering, or intentionally causing another person to interfere or alter declared results--- Also, causing another person to interfere or alter declared results. We did it in 2007, and we knew the consequences when people declared themselves winners, which is unfortunate and must be punished. This is why, in my opening ... view
  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: “(f) wilfully counts any ballot paper as being cast for any candidate which they know or have reasonable cause to believe was not validly cast for that candidate.” This is normally a problem. The problem happens when there is a contest on whether the ballot paper is valid or not. Sometimes, people tick outside the box, others put X, and others draw cows. Somebody can draw a cow. There is a new song by Trio Mio called “ Nimekumark ”; some people can say view
  • 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: The issue should be whether a mark qualifies to give it a valid vote. Then Clause 5: These are just errors on which we need to agree. I need a minute to conclude. This is bribery and it should be punished alongside other election offences. With those very many remarks, I support. We need to review the electoral offences, so that we can increase more catalogue and punish people in the electoral process. Invalid elections cause instability in the country. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, sir. view
  • 8 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I think this tax exists. In fact, under the Finance Bill, it can be reviewed yearly. So, even if it is on the Gambling Bill as at the moment, it can still be reviewed within the Finance Bill yearly depending on the financial year. view
  • 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to make a few comments. The first one is on the Statement by Sen. Hezena Lemaltian on the status of roads in Samburu, and I concur with her. I would have expected the Chairperson of Roads, Transport and Housing, Sen. Karungo Thang’wa to tell the House how many roads have stalled in Kenya. In Nandi County, we have a number of stalled roads like Chemuswa-Kimondi- Danger, Kurgung Chepteruwa-Chepterwai-Chepsaita-Kapkatembu Road, Kopere- Maraba-Timboroa Road, Selia-Kaiboi-Chepkober Road in Talai, Nandi Hills-Himaki Road, Nandi Hills-Mugundoi, Moi University Resource Centre- Kilibwoni Junction Road. I would like the committee to give ... view
  • 3 Oct 2024 in Senate: I wish to comment on Sen. Kibwana’s Statement about nightclubs. I have seen the Chief Officer of Nairobi City County walking around, closing clubs like Quiver, churches and mosques. I saw the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the environment, Hon. Aden Duale, the lion of Garissa, who was sent to the forests, as per the report, saying there is too much noise from clubs and churches. He forgot that he should ask the mosques to stop the noise pollution, so that we do not appear discriminative. So, as he moves out to control the noise pollution across the City, guided ... view
