• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just wanted to support the amendment. We know how frustrated candidates have been due to technicalities. Under Article 38, again, this will enhance the political rights of Kenyans, so that there are no undue restrictions that could lock out candidates on technicalities. Thank you. view
• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support the amendment because we know the history of political parties and candidates. There are situations where several certificates show up on the nomination date; I think it would be necessary to clarify that as long as the nomination papers presented are genuine, because there is a possibility of fake ones being presented--- Once accepted and you lock the door, we need to address that. I do not know how the hon. Member would want to respond to that. view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in fact, I am proposing a further amendment to hon. Amina Abdalla’s amendment by deleting--- I beg to move that Regulation 45 be amended by deleting Paragraph 2. We delete the rest of that. This is because already Walter Nyambati’s proposal is provided for in the Leadership and Integrity Act that was passed in this House. The self declaration form is already part of our laws, and a candidate will be able to comply with that. We do not need to restate in these regulations what is already provided for in an Act of Parliament. My ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think honourable Member’s fears are unfounded because when you look at Regulation 46, you will see that it is a general provision. At the end of the day, IEBC is supposed to ascertain educational qualifications and whatever they are, as provided by the law. That is what IEBC would go for. I had indicated to the hon. Member and he had already asked for a Ministerial Statement in view of the ruling of the High Court, which we are dealing, whether to appeal or not. We are also in the process of preparing ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, just to allay the fears of my friend, hon. Muthama, this particular Regulation does not set the educational qualifications. It is the Act that does. The court ruling referred not just post-secondary education, it also referred to governors and the presidential candidates. In the same ruling, the court upheld that they must have degrees. So, it sets the standard but, for our purposes, these Regulations are about ascertaining educational qualifications as set out by the law. So, what I am assuring my good friend is that the ruling of the court is something we are dealing ... view
