14 Oct 2021 in Senate:
Sen. Farhiya, I hope that when this Bill becomes law, we will have the kind of men and women who have integrity and who will fear no one. When they are doing lifestyle audit, they will not come for poor Sen. Farhiya because you have bought a new car but go for those who evidently can be seen to have corruptly made wealth at the expense of the public.

On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker.

14 Oct 2021 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, I regret the fact that Sen. Murkomen came after I had said a few words. There was a time when we had a robust opposition in the National Assembly and the mileage claims were weaponized against us. In other arms of the Government, one could claim their mileage and nothing would happen to them. There was a circular that was issued that people should not get their mileage claims improperly. We thought that it was a general statement that was putting everybody on notice. Thereafter, a very strong lady in the House, Hon. Chelagat Mutai, was the ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to commend Sen. Dullo for coming up with this Statement. The issue of ID cards is very critical. As pointed out by Sen. Dullo, it springs from Article 12 of the Constitution where passports and identification cards are not privileges.

12 Oct 2021 in Senate:
Every Kenyan who is born here or a Kenyan born of Kenyan parents is entitled to a passport and identification card. Those are the only documents that the Government can use to show that they recognise you as a citizen. If there are Kenyans out there without identification cards, it is a great disservice.

12 Oct 2021 in Senate:
Every time I go particularly to the former North Eastern Province and Marsabit, Isiolo and Turkana counties, not to speak of the other counties also, the critical question you are always asked is about ID cards. It is not the citizens who ask for identification cards, but the Kenyan Constitution that states that it is a right. So, no excuse should be given to deny people ID cards particularly. The Government should find a way of enabling even citizens in areas with conflicts or other challenges like in the northern and eastern counties of Kenya get ID cards. They should ...

I remember when we had the Election Laws Amendment Act here. We were thinking of having simpler ways to enable Kenyans to exercise their political rights. Unfortunately, some good parts of that good legislation were amended without justification.

12 Oct 2021 in Senate:
I urge Kenyans now that we are already in the programme towards the elections to register as voters and also to find out where their IDs are if they have not collected them. They should also apply for IDs for those who do not have them.

12 Oct 2021 in Senate:
Those who are going to win elections are going to do so on the basis that they have IDs. As Senior Counsel Sen. Omogeni was saying you must have an ID card and a voters card. Nobody will be elected and no party will win elections whether presidential, senatorial or National Assembly until he elected by voters. That is the bottom-line. Nobody will give any Kenyans political power, except through the vote. Therefore, this is a very critical matter and I urge the people of Kenya take their time to go out there and look for IDs and register as ...
