Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support the amendment because it adds value. It brings clarity. With the Bill that was brought here by hon. Boaz Kaino on turning every constituency into a district, which we passed; the amendment adds value to the Rules. So, I beg to support.

9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we support the amendment. It adds value in terms of ensuring that the technological advancement we will be making in these elections, by doing electronic voter registration, is properly covered in the Regulations. I know that already this equipment has started arriving. As I told the House earlier today, I just came from a workshop in Mombasa, where the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) confirmed that some of the equipment is already in the country. Training will start soon. We have 5,000 kits to enable us start off. Therefore, it is important ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we discussed this matter with the Chair of the Committee and it is, indeed, a good amendment to avoid any room for mischief, or any irregularities that might arise during the registration process.

I just wanted to persuade my good friend, Eng. Gumbo, to accept that Ms. Abdalla’s definition is wider because his amendment was pegged on the word “division”. It makes sense as long as the word division was there. We should have had districts, but now that the word division has been amended and Ms. Amina Abdalla’s amendment widens the net, I think it is okay.

9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, may I begin by saying I second this proposal. I want to really appreciate what the Chair and her team have done, first of all, by bringing the two documents together so that we have one set of regulations guiding both the registration of Kenyans within Kenya and outside our borders. This is to ensure that when we are talking about registration of Kenyan citizens as voters, it should include all Kenyans, whether in the diaspora or here. We want to agree with the Committee’s proposal that we introduce a New Part VII A that will ...

9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to thank Members for their contribution and particularly hon. Ogindo for the proposed amendments which Members seem to unanimously agree with, that they be deleted. Madam Chairperson, I would like to propose that the proposed Regulations be amended by deleting sub-regulation 2(b) of the proposed Regulation 33A. This will do away with “Other logistical considerations” so that we only have (a) which is “The presence of a Kenyan Embassy, High Commission or Consulate”. Kenyans know in which country we have an embassy, a High Commission or consulate and in which one we do not ...

9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, because they were moved together, I wish to make amendments to 33A by deleting (b) and then we move to the next one, which is 33D and delete the words “or National Identification Card”. With regard to 33E, I propose that we delete the word “foreign”. This will leave it to read: “…may use the services of any representative of Kenya.” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that is because with regard to 33F, Dr. Khalwale had raised issues on why we should only deal with the Presidential elections and whether this will be open to challenge. I ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for the sake of clarity and to address the concerns of hon. Odhiambo-Mabona, there will be no harm if we were to add “any representative of Kenya who shall be appointed by the IEBC”.
