• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what Mr. Mbuvi is saying is true view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we made the request and we were waiting for the Speaker’s confirmation as to when we can have this kamukunji . There was one today but it was dealing with the issue of pension. The issue of election will require its own kamukunji. It is quite a sensitive matter and we are waiting as and when the view

• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Judging the mood, I will be very brief. I just want to congratulate my brother, hon. Namwamba, for the very able manner in which he has taken over his new duties at the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Indeed, sports is a universal language. It is a language that unites and promotes national cohesion. To have a law in place to promote talent in sports, is encouraging. This Bill is overdue and I just want to thank my brother for bringing it. Yesterday, I was in Mombasa at a conference where we ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to make two Statements. One is with regard to the diaspora vote that you had previously requested for. The second Statement is with regard to the ongoing voter registration exercise, as requested by Dr. Khalwale. There were further clarifications and with your permission, I wish to seek your direction that I be allowed to deliver both. The first one on the Diaspora is very brief. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to start with the one on the Diaspora, Prof. Kaloki requested for a Ministerial Statement on the arrangements made to ensure the right by Kenyans living outside Kenya to register and vote in the next General Elections is observed. The right to vote is a fundamental human right enshrined in the Constitution and other international and regional human rights instruments as ratified or acceded to by Kenya. It is also one of the critical components of a democratic state. Article 38(3) of the Constitution guarantees every adult citizen the right to be registered as a ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. When I rose to speak, I said that I was a bearer of sad news because we have been out there and we have assured Kenyans in the Diaspora that they will participate in the historic General Election. I know that His Excellency the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has toured several countries in Europe. I know that the Prime Minister has done so as Ministers have. Our desire and assurance to Kenyans out there has been that they will participate in the General Election. However, the integrity or the credibility of ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Mututho has sought in his clarification why we do not know the number of all Kenyans who travel out and yet they have passports. There are many Kenyans who travel out of this country but for reason best known to themselves, do not register with our embassies or consulates. This is an issue that needs to be addressed. Kenyans out there should register with the closest embassy or High Commission, so that we know how many there are out there. Once we have done that we will start the registration because already ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, perhaps hon. Khalwale did not get me. There was a decision in court. Already the Diaspora had challenged the Government as to why it had not implemented or effected the realization of this right. That decision has already been made in High Court Civil Case No.331 of 2012. When you look at the elaborate decision by the court, it also answers the questions by hon. Neto and hon. Odhiambo-Mabona about the progressive approach. Hon. Neto said realization of political rights cannot be progressive. The Constitution says under Article 82(1)(e) that it is progressive and requires ... view
