• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order because the Minister did not answer my question. Is he in order to fail to answer as to whether in those discussions the Kenya Government requested for monetary compensation? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said--- view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is in relation to what the Minister has just intimated. It will be very useful if the Ministers can indicate to Members of Parliament specifically because sometimes we have had situations where Ministers come late. Ministers have been late many times when hon. Members are here but on the days they are ready, they do not alert them. They should use their Ministries to get to the hon. Members so that they can be present so that we dispose of these matters in an efficient manner. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution on this Bill. On the onset I want to say that I support this Bill and I strongly do so. I think this is one of the pieces of legislation that the Government has brought that is really forward looking. I could not agree more with Mr. Kimunya’s submission. Recently, we had some consultations as political parties and we were told about the cost of trust in this country. We were told how expensive it is to conduct elections in Kenya because of ... view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think he has just not got what I am saying. What I am trying to say is that this whole Bill seems to be too centrally locked. It has not opened up the freedom for county governments to move as fast as the national Government is able to move, and as we would want the county governments to do. The prominence of the 46 other governments has not been secured properly within this proposed Bill. I would want the Minister to look at this again. I am sure his officers are listening. What is ... view

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister in charge of finance regarding the Political Parties Fund. When the Minister comes to give this Statement on the political parties funding, he should clarify:- (i) whether he is aware that Section 24 (1) of the Political Parties Act reads as follows:- “The Political Parties Fund shall be comprised of such funds not being less than 0.3 per cent of the revenues collected by the national Government as may be provided by Parliament”? (ii) He should clarify whether the Kshs250 million allocated to the Political Parties ... view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister should:- (iii) clarify whether he is aware that the provisions of Political Parties Act require that the 51 political parties that are now registered must maintain branches in the 47 counties; (iv) clarify whether he is aware that the running costs of these branches require the full disbursement of the 0.3 per cent; (v) clarify when the Treasury shall release the balance of the funds that are expected by political parties, considering that this is an election year and we need to prepare. Thank you. view

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I actually agree with the interpretation the Minister is giving, the proviso gives him comfort but before he can move this Motion, we would like him to give us proof that, in fact, he has complied with that section itself by submitting a progress report to the National Assembly; whether it has been tabled. If it has been tabled, when was it tabled because we want to know? If he has not tabled it, then he cannot utilize this section. view
