• 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
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The other key issue that I would like address is this: If the Senate and the National Assembly versions of the two Bills differ, how long will the Mediation Committee take? Will the Bills be in place before the elections cycle begins? Mediation takes time and as I have said, we do not have enough time if we follow the recommendations of the select committee. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, will the time that has been recommended to hire commissioners, prepare election materials, and to clean up the register be enough? Will all these things be in place in good time? view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The last one will be the issue of integration of all information related to voters and the handling of such information by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. We know that IEBC uses Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) kits but we also know that the National Registration Bureau uses fingerprints. How will this information be converted to an electronic format? These are the kind of issues we need to look at. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Above all else, the issue of party hopping has generated a lot of heat. When I started I was a KANU live Member. That is surprising to the young legislators like Ken Obura. I went to Wiper and I am still in Wiper. I will remain in Wiper until I retire from politics at the age of 78 years. His Excellency the President and the CORD leaders have shown a lot of maturity when handling this issue. The President’s statement is that we should adopt this Report so that we have free, fair and credible elections. The CORD leaders have ... view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: about the two-thirds gender rule. I have heard rumours from both sides of the political divide. It is neither here nor there. The main thing is party hopping. Personally, I do not support that, but the majority of Members feel that it should be allowed because there is no internal democracy in parties and someone popular can be locked out because they have differences with the owner of the party. Indeed, parties have owners. I agree with the amendment by Hon. Olago Aluoch in Paragraph 7; it was timely. However, we should move with speed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you have ... view
