• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Secondly, the Registrar of Political Parties keeps a register. If we allow the provision for no notice of movement, this register will not be useful to the Registrar. Already in the current Act, where there is notice of 30 days, the Registrar has a problem maintaining that register because of the frequent defections. If we have no notice of movement at all, the Registrar will have a bigger problem. Therefore, I beg all hon. Members to look at this provision from both sides. If we do not do so and instead stick to the amendment that was brought by Dr. ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this is something we need to approach with very sober minds. We should not consider political party affiliations or anything of that sort. This is about the Political Parties Registry that we are setting up. We are saying that you should actually deposit lists of your party membership with the Registrar. If we do not remove that amendment, it will mean that the Register is null and void. It is of no use at all because you can be in one party this afternoon, move to another party tomorrow morning and move ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, do not look at it that it is Dr. Eseli saying it, in case you do not like Dr. Eseli. Look at it like it is Kenyans speaking to you, through Dr. Eseli. view

• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to say that my interjection is mischievous when it is actually provided for in the Standing Order? Under Standing Order No.119 (2); it is specifically allowed to remedy a situation that might have arisen through an oversight by the House. view

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issuance of IDs previously had been bogged down by the fact that some registration clerks had been accused of demanding kickbacks and that some boarder districts had problems issuing ID cards. In the process, many people have not held these ID cards. The Prime Minister has just told us that newly married women will not be subjected to the rigors that they have been subjected to before. What about those ones who have been previously married and still do not have IDs? In the western part of Kenya, when you look at population demographics, the ... view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to continue saying that they give some form of inducement instead of telling us how much that is? If it is peanuts, then you get monkeys. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the issue of coalitions is, really, one of parliamentary systems of government. Right now, we are in a presidential system of government. So, the issue of coalitions does not hold as much water as before. Moreover, we should not live like ostriches by burying our heads in the sand. The issue of coalitions is a recipe for unstable government. This has been proven before with the NARC Government. It has been proven even with the current Grand Coalition Government. It is actually a recipe for unstable governments. Are we, as Parliament, justified to legislate for Kenya ... view
