• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Bill is very important to the gender rule in elective positions. We are aware that there is a court judgment. For that matter, it is good to comply with the court as a House. Actualising the two-thirds gender rule is important for the country. However, there must be a method through which to achieve it through elections. I do not think nomination is the way forward.

• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I am one of the members of this Committee. I was also one of the lawyers in the East African Court of Justice Case with Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ here, led by the late Mutula Kilonzo Senior. We are very much familiar with the reasoning in that judgment. The situation present in Kenya at that time is very much distinguishable from what is the case today. Though we have our own regulations, it is clear from that judgment that each country was to cede some power ... view

• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: So, this Report, as presented for debate for subsequent approval or rejection by the National Assembly, may have certain misgivings and undertones which are not being put on the table. What is being looked at by presenting this Report here is not the real situation and expectation of both sides of the coalitions. There are other undercurrents.

• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: be presented is three. It says any number - meaning even one is a number - so long as there has been a process of election before arriving at that. At the moment, there is a person elected unopposed just like the case of Hon. Moses Kuria, who is a Member of this House. You cannot say that Hon. Kuria was never elected in his constituency. That is what you are trying to say now. Therefore, I want to tell the House that we have complied. There is a reason for us to re- look at our rules in future, ... view
