• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister tell this House the composition of the membership of this Committee? When is this Committee expected to finalize its report? view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Minister and his staff for having prepared this Bill. I hope and trust that in future, the relevant Departmental Committees will have an opportunity to go through the Bill before being debated in this House. I would like to say that a good law in itself is not enough for us, as a country. We had a law in 2007, but all of us know what happened. Currently, we still have a law and we know what happens in different Ministries ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really wonder why the drafters of this Bill thought about the staggering of the appointments. In my own opinion, if we have four Commissioners today and then we have others after 12 months, then we are contradicting ourselves in this Bill. That is because if you look at Section 7(5), it states:- “Four members of the Commission shall be appointed not more than twelve months from the first appointment under subsection (4)”. If you turn to page 173 on the provisions relating to delimitations of boundaries, it says that the Commission shall resolve all the ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: When it comes to years of service, this Bill proposes that they should serve for six years. We are now in the year 2011. If you add six years, it will be 2017. The year 2017 is an election year. What will happen? We might have a crisis the way we had in 2007. So, I want to request the Minister to have a fresh look at this so that he can make sure their term expires, maybe, in 2018, once we have other Members in this House leading the nation. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, Section 7 talks about the age limit of 70 years. I would like to know from the Minister: If somebody is appointed at the age of 66 years, does it mean that when he attains 70 years after four years before his six-year term expires, he or she will retire? If somebody is appointed at the age 68 years, will he serve for only two years and then retire? We will need to look at it again. For me, I think we should remove the issue of age. We should say that if you are ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Section 4 of this Bill proposes that the new Commission will use appropriate technologies to determine boundaries and wards. I wonder what those appropriate technologies are. We have a new Constitution. There is a formula in the Constitution and, therefore, we must use it. Let us not come up with new systems and ways of creating new boundaries and territories. Let us have the formula in the Constitution. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, indeed, if we want to make the IEBC independent, by virtue of the fact that the Prime Minister and the President will approve the names, will it be independent? By the names coming to this House for approval, will it be independent? As we sit today, the name of Bethuel Kiplagat passed through this House and we passed it, but what happened? So, I am asking: Will it be independent once the President and Prime Minister have approved names and they have come before this House? Are we saying that the Commissioners or the process is independent? Those are ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Minister for Roads:- (a) whether he is aware that the designs for upgrading Nyaru-Iten Road (C53) to bitumen standards are complete; and, (b) what plans the Ministry has put in place to tarmac the road. view
