• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: When we talk about miscellaneous, it has to do with minor or insignificant changes but in this case, Kenya is a multiparty democracy and we have political parties. Article 92 of the Constitution is very clear. It says that Parliament shall enact laws that will help in the regulation of these political parties. If you look at the Political Parties Act, you will find that when it comes to the appointment of the Registrar who is actually like the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who manages the political parties there should be a selection board. I read a lot of mischief ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: In this case, the earlier version where the political parties are supposed to select or recommend people to be part of this selection board is supposed to be the way forward. You can see what is happening with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). People are calling for its disbandment. For us to have a referee of political parties who will not be biased, we should give room to other political parties to select people who will be in that committee so that they can be interviewed and finalists The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: given to the President so that he can select names. Coming up with such an amendment which says that the President shall appoint will be skewed and is likely to be biased. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: We recently read in the newspapers of NARC being deregistered because of the biased evaluation of the Registrar of Political Parties. I do not want my political party, FORD (K) to be deregistered because of some biased way of evaluation. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I strongly oppose this. It is unfortunate that the Majority Leader has gone out. I call upon him to withdraw the amendment on the political parties so that it can come as an amendment in its own political party form. It should not come under the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I do not want to comment on the SRC because its amendment has already been withdrawn. However, I want to comment on the Kenya School of Government Act. I support this amendment because of national values. We have very many public officers who are appointed to offices but they are not even aware about the national values as outlined in Article 10 of the Constitution. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is a requirement that the President must report to Parliament on the progress of the national values. Up to now, the report that the President presented to this House has never been tabled. We have never discussed it. So, as far as Article 10 of the Constitution is concerned on national values, we are in darkness. Unfortunately, as we speak, the Leader of Majority Party is gone. I do not know who is going to communicate this but I strongly oppose this because to me these particular amendments are very substantive. We should not just let them ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you and I oppose. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the amendment. Any Motion that comes here should not negate any law that is already there. We are aware of the Refugees Act. When refugees come, they are put on a prima facie principle and there is a process of screening. We have had a lot of insecurity in this country and we know it is a big country with the registration of identity cards. When the issue of amending the Motion comes to the Floor, it does not matter whether it is positive or negative so long as it is within ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: When you look at the population of this country, there are some regions where the population has been exaggerated. It has even affected the allocation of revenue in this country. We have seen some counties are even given so much money as opposed to others because the population has been exaggerated. view
