• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the purpose of this amendment is to give power to the Electoral Commission or any member who is designated by the Electoral Commission to deal with people who use state resources on the spot. So, if it is me who is campaigning using the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) vehicle, the Commission should be able to give an order for the impounding of that CDF vehicle. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: It is part (5A). If you look at the Order Paper, you will see that the Legal Department drafted it to say that we should include a new Subclause after Subclause (5) to read (5A). You can see how they have drafted it. So, I propose that the Commission be given power to deal with people who use state resources on the spot. view

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, secondly, if you are in a village, there are those people who are very old and are incapable of even walking to the polling station, even within the village. I am talking about practical things. What is wrong with one organizing for someone with a small car to take that person to the polling station? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: No, let us think about it together. I have no problem with that first part. However, what this law is proposing is that you may have a situation where two polling stations because of whatever reasons, the election has been disrupted at that particular point and the returning officer is not able to proceed with the process but then you have maybe in that area 20 or 100 registered voters.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, election offences strictly speaking, are a special class of offences. They are not criminal in the sense of criminal offences, in the sense that the crimes which are being committed here could even be crimes of omission. We must not punish people so severely because if you look at this, there is already a fine of Kshs1million.
