• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. There has been a point of order raised that I had said we pass a law to allow theft of votes. Without cleaning the voter register--- view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to clarify that once we pass that law and say that we could allow manual voting in the country, in my opinion, we passed a bad law and we are just about to pass another one, if this House agrees, the Privatisation (Amendment) Bill. Through the law on elections we allowed theft of votes. In conclusion, this law is not good because it removes the role of Parliament and leaves the matter of privatisation purely on the Executive. That is dangerous for the country. It means we have the Executive in charge ... view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. I congratulate Hon. Florence Mutua for preparing and presenting this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Bill very well. In fact, she made an extra effort and worked very well for Members of our county and the country generally on this matter. Most of the offences and issues mentioned in this Bill are in the original Act; the Sexual Offences Act and the Penal Code. But she has made an attempt to cover areas which had not been covered before and areas which have become a challenge after the implementation of the original Act. There are serious matters which are raised on sexual offences, especially when communities attempt to settle matters out of court or frustrate ... view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to support the appointment of Mr. Michael Rotich Sialai. For the time I have worked with him, he is of good attitude. He is very much willing to serve. You will find him in his office every time. If he is not there, you can reach him on phone. Every time he is approached by Members when they have an issue, he is able to sort it out. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support his appointment and his positive attitude which contributes to 90 per cent of success. I believe the PSC did a good thing to appoint him. I urge the House to support his approval. On Mr. Bundi who is going for retirement, he is very good natured, well mannered and he has been very useful to the country. Now that this House is the one which will approve the EALA nominees, I would like to urge the Jubilee side to nominate him for EALA. While he worked there, he is the one who put structures. He will be ... view
• 24 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to support this Motion. Most of the people here, and I believe the whole team, have been repeated from the last year. It is well balanced. Political parties have been consulted. When it comes to prioritising business, we need to look at the constitutional issues pending, if any, and any other important Bills which are a priority by requirement of law so that we may be able to serve the nation in the remaining period. Quorum hitches are likely to be experienced in the remaining period. I think it is good for Members, ... view
• 17 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Precisely. Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important debate. The Committee did a very good job. I want to also commend the Selection Panel which identified these wonderful Kenyans. The Chairman is an experienced advocate of the High Court of Kenya and the IEBC has many laws to be interpreted and I believe he has the capability to do that correctly. The only worry is the fact that there is only one lawyer out of seven. There is a tribunal which sits to deal with matters of elections and in the past, it ... view
