• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: When we talk of elections, the submission of a single name, two names or exact names of those who are supposed to be elected without giving the electorate, who are the Members of this House and the Senate, the chance to make a choice from the many applicants is very unfair. About 41 Kenyans applied for these positions to be members of the EALA. We are told by our friends in CORD that from the many applicants, they shortlisted using their criteria and they came up with four names. I think it would have been wise if that was also ... view
• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: The Committee did a very good Report. It is also good that we have this debate in this House so that we can get a chance to look at this report and come up with a proper debate and vote on it. Let us not bring party politics here. It is good that all the Members of this House are the electorate of these nine members. I want all of us to reason together and look at the merits and demerits of having the exact candidates and having more candidates so that we can get a chance to choose credible ... view

• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: For us to vote and make a choice, we need our colleagues in CORD to stop playing politics and bring all the names here. Let us have the names of all those who applied. Let us debate an individual after an individual. They were 41. Let us have the merits and demerits of their CVs and then from there, we will be in a position to elect nine members to represent this country. I support this Report and the recommendations of the Committee. view

• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even before this Report came before this House, we should have looked at its admissibility. Hon. Kaluma is talking about people who were unopposed. Here is a case where we have 41 Kenyans who applied and now there are some parties who--- view

• 11 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to also add my voice to what the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party has put across, especially the names of those who are supposed to be selected to go to EALA. I do not think there is a problem with the names which were submitted here. My only problem is the number. If it is an election, an election cannot be done only by one person or by choosing only one person. There must be options 1, 2 or 3. But, in terms of the names or who are going ... view
