• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I have spoken about the issue of party-hopping. Stopping people from hopping from one party to the other is just returning our State to those dark days when people did not have a choice of which political party to belong to, albeit technically. You tell them that you can belong, but at the end of the day you do not belong. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: There are fundamental issues if you look at Clause 14 as far as transmission of results is concerned. Clause 14(c) states that we shall publish the polling results forms on an online public portal to be maintained by the Commission. What this means is that as election results are transmitted, there will be a public portal that has polling station result forms so that any Kenyan can go to that portal and see, for example, Alara Korayo polling station where I vote, how people have voted. The actual form is visible. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I hope that technology does not let us down in the manner it has in the past. If we can see visible forms from every polling station publicly, we will not have to wait for that poster at the Bomas of Kenya.

• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Another important aspect which I had spoken to earlier on is the fact that political parties will now have an incentive to bring in more women members and special interest groups to Parliament. This is a very good incentive. I hope that my party, which I am Chair and work side by side with Hon. Kaluma in Homa Bay will now bring in more female members so that we can benefit effectively. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The roles of the Commissioners and the Secretariat have been clearly delineated.
