• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to bring to the attention of the hon. Minister that we need to be ingenious and be very clear here. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be better if the Minister can listen to me instead of the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs whom I appreciate very much. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I do not know how he will do it, but the Minister needs to find a way in which we shall clearly define the election date for the first general election. In my opinion, this is our opportunity for us to make it clear. Let us make a decision as Parliament. If we will stick to the second Tuesday of August, 2012, then let us say so, and let us say this very well advised of what I have seen might be the consequence. From the provisions of Clause 14, assuming that the general elections will be on the second ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go upwards again to Clause 36, you will find that we need to have given the members of the party lists – the ones who will not go through the general elections – before we nominate those ones who are supposed to run for the general election. This affects all of us; that is from Presidential downwards. If you go again to this part which, to me, is very crucial, we are told that by January, we should have provided the list of all party members. That means that if the nominations will ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Three months before that, that is in October, 2011, we ought to have provided the nomination rules for our political parties to the Registrar of Political Parties. Essentially, the process of elections will start in October, 2011. I want the Minister to tell us whether this is possible. That in October, we give our party nomination rules; in January we give all our party members lists, including Members of Parliament, some of who have changed allegiance and are locked there; and then we go on until all these processes are followed and the second Tuesday of August, we have elections. ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I propose that the Minister comes up with reasonable timelines so that more Kenyans are able to participate in these elections. In my opinion, I do not know how this will be done, but I propose that either the Committee or the Minister needs to come up with better guidelines, so that, as a House, we give guidance to the nation. The process will not be in the second August, 2012 just like that because this will start in October, 2011. That is if the elections will be held in August, 2012. I want the ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: No! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, please, protect me. I think we have to agree that when you hold a Harambee in Garsen High School, the people who benefit ultimately are the students and parents of that school. Although the CDF is there, there are many things that it cannot do. If we say that we will rely on the CDF, we will be giving the sitting MPs unfair advantage over other people. I think this time, first, we need to agree when the election will be held. It seems all of us will be disqualified. We need to agree ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to get the attention of the Minister! view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: This is an intelligent Minister and I want him to listen to this one. This is all connected to the election process. We, as political parties, are supposed to present our lists one month or thereabouts, before those who are nominated to run for public office. I want to bring this to the Minister’s attention to let us set the date in this Act. This is because it will make political parties to act in a predictable environment. We will not function if this will be left in the air, or to the interpretation of CIOC or to go to ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for bringing this Bill to this House. Straightaway, let me say that this is a good Bill, but I want to make some specific suggestions. Picking from what Mr. Shakeel has said, I think we need to amend Clause 7, view
