• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill does not say how the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance will ensure there is parity in the guaranteeing of loans that will be spread across the county governments. There must be a clause that states clearly that the loans that the National Government is going to guarantee must have parity as far as is possible and practicable with regards to county governments. The Minister can look into how this will be done. I will, however, do it in my way at the Committee Stage. Maybe he can do it with the help of ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not going to take long. In Clause 14, the county governments have a limit of 2 per cent in terms of withdrawal. If you look at a county like Turkana or Tana River where I come from, the view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in view of the amendment which has just been passed, I wish to withdraw my amendment. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just very quickly, I had just put the point that the presidential candidate ought to be allowed to be within the party lists. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to invite the Minister that in the same manner, if the Minister can consider bringing an amendment to make it clear to the whole country that although the Constitution is quiet about this, for Presidential candidates who so wish to defend any other seat be it Senators, Governors or Members of Parliament, we must put a clear clause to remove any doubt so that we can retain ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to support the setting up of this Commission on Administrative of Justice. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Initially, I held a very strong opinion, like hon. Bahari, that all these must be collapsed into the Kenya Human Rights Commission. However, looking at the way this Bill has been drafted, it will be unfair for me to oppose it because it really affects the people I represent. The people who have suffered the greatest injustices of administrative action are the ones who are in far-flung areas of this Republic. Chiefs, District Officers (DOs) and District Commissioners (DCs) have been the biggest face of oppressive administrative action against the people. We have come a long way, of course, and ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution to this very important Bill. I congratulate the Minister for bringing this Bill at this time. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I want to make my contribution hoping that the Minister will take it in the spirit that we really want to get a good law. So, our hope is that he will be the one to bring most of the amendments. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: First of all, there is the keeping of the Principal Register of Voters and this is in Clause 4. I want to propose to the Minister that while he has already looked at the other places in respect of voters - where they would probably be checking to verify - he has not stated where these voters may wish to check or verify their particulars. So, on the voters who will be living outside Kenya, I would like the Minister to say that, that register should also be found in the relevant embassy. The reason is that we anticipate that ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take up the issue of eligibility to vote in Clause 10. I want the Minister to look at the possibility of making it reasonable by introducing a clause that if a person is very well known in that place, then he should be eligible to vote. I remember, particularly, a very interesting incident in which hon. Mwakwere, in the real election and not the by-election, was being turned away from his own election by somebody who was saying that he had forgotten the identity card. This is - if I remember ... view
