• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to oppose the amendment. We need to, as much as possible, ensure that any amendment that we bring to this House does not infringe on what is already provided for in the Constitution. We have continued giving too many powers to the IG. We are now increasing the ranks that he can deploy, from number two to number four. What we are doing is actually ensuring that the IG will control the National Police Service and make it a force, which is actually what we are trying to get away from. With those remarks, ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to my good friend, hon. Muchai, I think he had spoken on this Bill earlier on. This can be confirmed in the HANSARD. view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, Bi Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa wakati huu. Kwa sababu muda umeyoyoma sana, hatutazungumza sana kama chiriku. Ningelipenda kusema yafuatayo. view

• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with the new proposal because it makes the Commission to be in charge of putting in place regulations rather than the political parties. I also think that paragraph (b) needs also to be qualified. The date for the referendum or a by-election is well known because there is a timeline that is given between the time a seat is declared vacant and when an election is supposed to be held. In the case of a referendum, it is known when the actual referendum is supposed to take place. We need to qualify that, ... view

• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, because I did not have a proposal for amendment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the proposed Clause 5(b) be amended by deleting the words appearing immediately after the words “at such time as the Commission may determine” and replacing them with “at least two months before the due date of the by-election or referendum”. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. While I agree with my friend, hon. Eng. Gumbo, I am just wondering whether these sections actually guide candidates on how to write their reports. If you do not do that, then what forms of reports are they supposed to be submitting? This is because an expenditure report must also be detailed; it has to have certain requirements. In fact, what is it that the political party should be looking for, even the Commission? So, I am a bit hesitant to support this deletion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to seek further information from the Mover with regard to deletion of this clause and possibly other proposals that may come later. We shall, however, deal with that at that point. This section clearly deals with issues of campaign expenses. I thought this is the gist of this legislation and, therefore, to propose total deletion of Clause 12 actually negates the purpose of having this Bill. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I had a very minor amendment, if you can look at my proposal. The import of my amendment was to suggest that political parties should not be disqualified on account of having had a candidate who never made a full disclosure of his expenditure. Maybe, I will comment about this further because from the new amendment, I think this is still retained. view
