• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: only because the Government of the UK wants Kenya, its former colony, to excel. That is why, sometimes, we are prodded and pushed to act in a certain way. With those few remarks, let us ratify it. Let us accept and support this Motion. It will bring better benefits to this country. Thank you. I support. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to second this very important Motion. As has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party, this Bill is more or less the Report of the Joint Select Committee. The work that was put forth was very important. 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
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We all know that this Bill is a product of extensive negotiations and consultations. There was public participation and there were compromises. It was give and take. This is a Bill like no other because both the ruling coalition and the Opposition have signed after agreeing to come up with it. We do not have time. Time is not on our side. We have deadlines we have to meet. I want to urge this august House to make sure that we pass, support and endorse this Bill. It should go to the Senate without many amendments because we will save ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill is bi-partisan and shows Kenyans what they can achieve without much ado. This Bill ensures that there is one unified singular register of voters. Before, we had several registers and it confused Kenyans. Many of them could not agree, but now through negotiations we have agreed that there will be only one singular register of voters which we can always refer to so that there is no cheating. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am very happy because in this Bill, Clause 13 seeks to limit the number of voters per polling station to 500. We have seen in the past voters waking up at 2.00 a.m. to go to polling stations. They stay there until the following day, missing sleep, risking their lives because there are so many voters and there are very few Returning Officers. Reducing the number of voters to 500 per polling station will do a miracle because every Kenyan will be able to vote without problems. I am also happy that Clause 14 ensures that the results will ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: democracy is seen to take root. There is voter apathy in Kenya. We have to encourage and educate our people so that they know it is their right. If you do not vote, a wrong person gets elected and you do not get development. It is our duty as legislators. Last but not least, Clause 39 will require that if there is a Petition concerning presidential election, IEBC must submit certified copies of the documents to the Supreme Court within 48 hours. That time limit because of the anxiety will kill the tension that accompanies this kind of thing. This ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, thank you very much. I think if only we can remove that no. 10 because in the following chapter it is taken care of, all this confusion will be done away with. The issue of sanitary towels is very big. In this country, women make up 61 per cent of the population. This issue affects half of the population of Kenya. So, when Hon. Mule seeks clear guidance on this issue, he is right. I also support what Hon. Nyamweya says. It is good for the Chair to tell us exactly if it is taxable, zero-rated ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to congratulate the Joint Select Committee for doing a good job and producing a good Report. I urge Members of the National Assembly to adopt this Report because it is balanced. This Report was very extensive. The Committee took a lot of time, invited experts and there was public participation. That is why they came up with this good Report. This was a negotiated process and there was a lot of consultation. We do not want to destroy something that our leaders and even the Senate have seen is fit. It is good ... view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The issue of legislation with regard to the recommendations in this Report should be addressed speedily so that the laws are in place as soon as possible. The other thing is that we have several draft Bills which have been subjected to public participation before formulation. Which processes will they undergo after they have been tabled? I wanted that to be clarified. Will the Members propose amendments despite the Bills being a product of consensus? view
