• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Report. This country has had a lot of history regarding political parties. The new law requires serious political parties to be funded to operate. I remember one time I was a member of Martha Karua’a National Rainbow Coalition Kenya (NARC-K) Party and we used to be forced to fund the party from our pockets. Sometimes you find a political party has few Members in Parliament. I was here when we passed this law in the 10th Parliament and it is important as we encourage serious and ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The former President Kibaki was elected twice on different political parties. Later we have President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta elected on The National Alliance (TNA) Party ticket and later on a Jubilee Party ticket. It is important for us to start strengthening policies and ideologies of parties to support them and not because they belong to particular regions or individuals. I thank my party which aspires to be more national rather than regional. I am happy that the Jubilee Party has, at least, a Member of Parliament, from half of the 47 counties. I think we have The electronic version of ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Members of Parliament from more than 30 counties. The Jubilee Party, according to its manifesto, intends to exist for quite some time. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Doctor Patrick Lumumba, a scholar whom we thought was a good person when he was at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), once made a very disturbing comment that the Jubilee Party will die before life members like me. Most political parties die before their life members. He had a very strong sentiment. What he said is true. For example, TNA, where I was a life member, died. I thank the members of KANU who have strongly believed in it. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The Jubilee Party has gone international. We have sent party officials to China to go and understand how to strengthen a political party. That is important and that cannot happen without funding. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As a member of the Jubilee Party, I have subscribed to the party and make monthly contributions. We ask the party to start taking its work seriously and strengthen its belief. It is very unfortunate what is happening in the county assemblies where speakers are being ejected. It is very shameful. The members of county assemblies are members of political parties. It is high time political parties took some stern action against these members to curb the unfortunate events happening in county assemblies all over the country. The rules are very clear. I hope the MCAs understand what it means ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is important that political parties start taking serious action against the MCAs, so that they can stop their rogue behaviour of bringing impeachment motions every time their speakers fail to fall into their traps. The audit of financial statement for political parties for the year ended June 2017 is an eye opener. As Hon. Wanyonyi has just indicated, it is high time the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury acted with immediate effect. We should not be begging for the National Treasury to release this money to political parties. Political parties have offices. Today, I have read in newspapers ... view
