during their term as MPs both elected and nominated and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). That is discriminatory. If all the elected and nominated MPs and MCAs in their five-year term are not allowed to contribute to Harambees and their opponents are left in the field, that will be very unfair and we will be locking out the leaders from their people, unless everyone is locked out, so that the Bill can qualify and become acceptable.

In the same spirit, this Bill is leaving out governors. Unfortunately, I hear it is a senator who brought this Bill because he wants to become a governor. So, he wants to be going to Harambees and the MPs will not go so that we can be bashed by the electorate. Also, it has allowed the President and the Deputy President to conduct Harambees. I do not see why elected leaders should not conduct Harambees while the same Bill allows the President, Deputy President and Governor. That clause in itself makes me feel that this Bill is not in good ...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. At the outset, I stand to oppose this Motion. Much has been said. It is said that one man’s meat is another man’s poison. This Report is skewed to favour our former colonial masters. It is skewed in a way that whatever we are trying to ratify here is not balanced. Gone are the days when we used to be told do something and we just do it. We need to ask why we are doing it. I am saying this with a lot ...

I stand guided, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When we opposed it in the first instance, that is when it was withdrawn so that we can forget it. However, we have been trailing it so that we can oppose it again. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party for giving me a minute to make my contribution. This Bill is timely. What is addressed here is happening on the ground. It has affected people who have been rigged out in elections in one way or the other because of malpractices. This will bring sanity as far as elections are concerned. People will be elected as a result of people’s choices and not individual choices. They will not be elected because of their interest, influence or because of their money. Persons ...
