• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second and confirm and fortify what the Leader of Opposition has said. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Majority Party has expounded on Article 270 as it relates to the meaning of political parties. I confirm that my Committee looked into this and we found out that Article 260 repossesses the ascription of meaning to registration through Article 292 of the Constitution. The sub-heading of Article 292 provides for the registration of political parties. It states: “Parliament shall enact legislation to provide for, among other things, the management of political parties”. The definition is, therefore, reposed to registration. The registration that has ascribed meaning is the Political Parties Amendments Bill 2021 under Clause 2. ... view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, please protect me from this heckler. I do not know the type of government they aspire to have. It will be a government of disorder. Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is the Bill that is going to remove or erase any overlapping mandates between the IEBC and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties. This will enhance effective management of political parties and define the role of the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties regarding independent candidates. It will also fully implement the Constitution to address the gaps that are identified in the Office of the ... view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I know. It is everywhere. I know it is choreographed by Hon. Murugara and Hon. Sankok in a way of disrupting everybody who speaks here so that they can buy time. The Bill seeks to provide, as I said, a proper definition of what a political party and a coalition is. It also seeks to define party nominations and provide for party nominations to differentiate the same from registration of candidates in elections. It also seeks to create rules of political parties as required under Article 292 and also registration of coalitions and submission of pre-election agreements. Parties, as they ... view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, protect me from these hecklers! view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we also need to delete their constitutional provisions from the Act, including Section 22(3) that attempts to introduce a new ground on how a vacancy arises in Parliament or in the county assemblies. In effect, this is a Bill that will have to go to the other House. It also needs to introduce alternative forms of publications. Lastly, I will summarise and say that this Bill seeks to address overlapping of mandates and enhances the effective management of parties, the implementation of the Constitution, including Article 82, 92 and 103 to address the gaps identified in the ... view

• 21 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I confirm the submission by the Leader of the Majority Party. I am, indeed, surprised that Hon. Kinyanjui would raise this matter because the notice for this evening’s meeting has been duly issued and circulated to everybody. The subject matter of the meeting is the debate on this Bill. The notice of the meeting has already been circulated. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, under Standing Order No.127, we are obligated to submit this Report to the House. Since the 21-day timeline ends today at 5.00 p.m., we are going to retreat at 5.00 p.m. It is proposed that the Report will be ready by tomorrow morning so that we can hear the memorandum from Hon. Kinyanjui and anybody else. I thank you. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to give brief comments on the State of the Nation Address and to second the Whip of the Majority Party on this Motion. At the outset, I wish to herald and laud His Excellency the President for getting time to expound Government’s able consideration or the concern through that interaction on the social contract. In this respect, we as a Committee, commend His Excellency for complying with the constitutional imperatives under Article 132. He has done that fully, throughout his tenure of office. That demonstrates fidelity to the Constitution. This ... view
