• 2 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Tuesday next week is okay. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to congratulate my good friend, Sen. (Eng.) Maina, for coming up with this amendment. People have been using popular names although they do not appear in the ballots. Nobody has ever thought of amending the law so that the name can appear without going through the rigorous legal process of changing a name through deed poll. So, this is innovative. You can imagine it has been with us for over 50 years. I know Senators who vied and lost elections because of people looking for their names in the ballot during elections. They ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are people who have acquired names that you can never change. Anytime I go to Nyamira and I rise to support my presidential candidate Eng. Raila Amollo Odinga, nobody calls him engineer. They tell me we are for “ Baba ”. We want to pass this Bill like yesterday so that when we go to the ballot, we can have “ Baba ” on the ballot. There are people associated with other things. You can have somebody in the ballot and they have their popular name as “wheelbarrow” so that Kenyans can choose between ‘ Baba’ ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: I hope the people of Nyeri will find it worthy to elect you as their next governor. Having served here, we know you as somebody who is extremely respectful to colleagues and always available for consultation by the younger Senators in this House. So, you will be a good brain for the people of Nyeri County. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the idea of using popular names happens in other jurisdictions. In the USA, there are a number of states where people who vie for elective seats are allowed to use their popular names, even if the names do not appear in their identification documents. There are best practices which we can pick from other jurisdictions where this has worked and I am sure it can work here. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: There are people who always complain that we bring amendments closer to elections, but that is not the case. Senators here know that we processed the amendment, brought it to the House and it was up for passage, but we had the judgement from the High Court in the High Court Petition No.284 of 2019. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: The court ruled that any Bill that had not properly gone through concurrence process had to be reprocessed. So, this is the second time that this Bill is coming back to the Floor. Otherwise, if it was not that interpretation of the High Court, I am sure by now this Bill could have been enacted into law. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: I also want to appeal to my colleagues in the National Assembly that once we pass this amendment and send to them, they should process it quickly because it is a fairly straight forward amendment. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I heard Sen. Cherargei alluding that these amendments are about elections and we should not pass them very late in the day. How view
