• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I seek to move an amendment to subclause 4 of Clause 19, by deleting the word “one” appearing therein and substituting thereof the word “two”. What this means is that organizations that may support a candidate have at least two months to report the expenditure that they may have incurred towards this activity. That is why I thought one month is actually very short for people to account and you know very well that even after that, there are so many activities including petitions and all of that. view

• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, you caught me off-guard. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not know whether we have just dropped the further amendment by Prof. Nyikal. Having said that, I wish to propose an amendment to the definition of the word “election” by deleting the words “or county” and substituting therefor the words “county or referendum”. This is because the referendum as a form of election is not captured in this definition as an election.
