• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I start with amendments to the Draft Elections (Technology) Regulations, 2017. For those who have the regulations, if they look at Part III, Regulation No.9 on page 15, they will find a clear discrepancy in the sense that it says: “The Commission shall issue a public notice specifying date, time and place the testing of the equipment and invite stakeholders to attend.” In 9(2), they go on to say; “the Commission may publish the information.” If it “shall issue a public notice,” why is it that “it may publish the information?” Why are they testing it? I want ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like some guidance. I do not know whether to move an amendment one by one or move all the amendments. view

• 30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This will require a review of very many statues, including the Constitution. It is virtually impossible for us to meet the two-thirds gender rule. If it were proportional representation, it would be possible. Perhaps, we need to review all our statues to provide for proportional representation before we can meet the two-thirds gender rule. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this chance to contribute to the Presidential Speech. He adhered to the Constitution and I believe it is his last speech ever to this House in that capacity because it was mainly misleading. I know the President is obsessed about opening things. When he was here, he opened the two-year old Senate which has been there for a very long time because he is obsessed with that. He said something about deepening democracy yet out there we see his party, with the connivance of the Registrar of Political Parties, setting up other parties, ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: He says he is strengthening independent offices and yet we know very well what has happened to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and the Auditor-General‘s office. What strengthening of independent offices is he talking about? We heard him talk about more police officers. Kenyans should be informed. Yes, there are more police officers. They have new equipment and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of them is saying, ―Move and we will shoot you!‖ They are telling us, ―Kenyans be aware, we are creating a police State.‖ That is what they are doing and ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
