• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We cannot allow him to give us wrong information on the Floor that a leader ruled for 24 year – and that is a representation of Hon. Moi - who left without writing a book. We are very much aware of the number of books that Moi wrote. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Navakholo, allow me to pass my condolences to the two families; the families of the late Hon. Senator Yusuf Haji and the late Hon. Oroo Oyioka. I have the good memories that we had with Hon. Oyioka whom I first met in the corridors of Justice in 2014, in the Court of Appeal in Kisumu. We were both being presented before the court following a petition. We used to sit together the whole day until we got justice. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: He was a patient man, a man of wisdom and his words were very few. He used to choose the words to use, but they were words of wisdom. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: About Sen. Yusuf Haji, he was a great man. Once in a while we could meet and he would quote the Bible, yet he was a Muslim. He used to tell me, “Young man, Christians say that you must respect those in authority”. I used to wonder how he understood the Bible, yet he was a Muslim. He quoted it because he had high respect for the rule of law and the Government of the day. He was a great man who I will really miss. I pray that God will choose the next leader for the people of Garissa. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I rise to support this Bill. I congratulate and thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, as well as the Chair of the CIOC who, if it was not for other issues, would be my Deputy President. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: This Bill recognises everything and all persons are inclusive. That is what enables me to feel that this is a good Bill to support. Many people outside there shall be asking what is there for them in the Bill. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: At the outset, I am interested in Clause 100 of the Bill. Under Clause 100, the Bill stops us or any other person from being forced to disclose what he voted for. Most of the time, the political class shape how people will vote. Therefore, in the event the voting process results in a court process, one could be asked to state what he voted for. The advantage of this is that the Bill, if passed, will stop anyone from being asked to disclose. That in itself is a good thing from where I sit. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I am also attracted to Clause 104 of the Bill which states that or elaborates on how various persons with special needs are included in the process. I am really happy with the way persons with disability have been brought on board. It is stated that should there be persons with disability, the voting places shall be in a certain manner that shall support people who live with disability. In this House, we know that Hon. “001” represents 6.5 million people living with disability. If we take care of those people, it means that the society will have everyone voting. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I am also concerned and happy that the Report which was given to us this afternoon addresses issues of concern. For example, this Bill aligns with the Constitution of Kenya. Article 256 of the Constitution in particular talks about the parliamentary process in terms of parliamentary initiative. When one reads the entire Article, it does not give the President the number of days within which to instruct the IEBC to cause a referendum election. Through this amendment, we see that the joint committee has now agreed on giving the President 14 days within which the IEBC will conduct referendum election. view
