• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I am convinced that I will not move the amendment to drop the name of Mrs. Lucy Ndung’u. Her appointment is good riddance to political parties. I believe that she is the cause of the muddied political space in this country. She was the Registrar of Societies when the multiparty wave came in. She was in charge of the break-up of the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy (FORD) Kenya and the original FORD. She was also in charge of the mix-up in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Kenya. She is the architect of the muddied political space. That is ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: She will go to the Commission on Administrative Justice yet she is unable to give administrative justice in the political parties’ office, for example, in terms of sharing the Political Parties Fund. She decided that the share will depend on the presidential election of 26th October 2008. She left out the August 2018 elections and yet we know very well that you cannot base political parties funding distribution on a by-election. What we had as a repeat presidential election was a by-election. If we have a by-election in Migori now, it will not determine how many votes ODM got in ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: support her because she will not be alone in this Commission. She will have two other commissioners who will mitigate her ill intent. I am sorry because I am being very harsh on her. However, it has to be said so that when she gets there, she knows that we know what she does and she stops those nefarious activities. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I will continue because she is not contributing. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I do not know which Standing Order you are on. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The interest here is to debate the Report of the Committee. I am talking as a long-standing Secretary-General. I am giving my experiences. She did not tell me the Standing Order that I have breached. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: As I speak, there are people in political parties who were not registered. It is a fact that there are people in political parties who were not registered. Finally, there is this issue of somebody being deemed to have left his political party. She has been totally unable to give direction and guidance on that particular fact. I will support all the nominees on one important fact that it is good for Madam Lucy Ndung’u to leave the Registrar of Political Parties office and go to the Ombudsman office where she will be checked by two other commissioners. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While I would like to support what the previous speaker said, there is a disservice that has happened to the Kenyan youth through this Ministry. Article 10 of the Constitution, as well as the Public Finance Management Act, provide that any public officer who is supposed to spend any resources of the nation must look into the issue of equity. The youth service programmes in this country right from the last Parliament, have disenfranchised a very large number of youths in this country as if they do not pay taxes. The NYS programmes have ... view
