• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: For the record, the just concluded recruitment of prison officers was done at the sub-county level, not county headquarters. You ask me to state my availability before the House goes for recess tomorrow. I can confirm that I am at the service of this House. I am available even this afternoon, but the problem is the availability of the Cabinet Secretary. That is, as you said, beyond me, but if you give direction that she appears before the Committee tomorrow morning, we can brief this House tomorrow afternoon on the decision that will have been taken. Thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It has a lot of issues that I am sure the Committee will clean up when it comes to the Committee of the whole House stage. First of all, I really want to thank this committee for bringing this Bill at this time. It is good that Members of this House get to know that this is all about elections. And I think it will be good for them to take keen interest. For those of us who have been in this House before, such matters that pertain to elections ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, immediately you get to the field, you realise that the laws you have just passed are acting against you.

They have brought the Bill when we can find time to discuss it soberly and ensure that what we legislate is not going to act against us because we would be the players and end users of this Bill. Hon. Speaker, if Members want to know that this is all about elections, the statutes that are proposed for amendment by this ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: National Gender and Equality Commission Act and the Persons with Disabilities Act. Those two are not substantive elections Acts. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: In Clause 2(e) of the Bill, there is the issue of funding which Hon. Otiende Amollo has spoken about. Why meet the cost of elections for only some certain groups of candidates - the special interest groups (SIGs)? If that has to be done using the Political Parties Fund, then we should do it for all candidates in all categories which is not possible and may not be practical. We need to do something about that. The next one is 2(b) that is still on campaign financing. This financing is coming from the Political Parties Fund. We need to agree ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: However, it is another way of bringing some unfairness when it comes to election time. That is because you find sitting Members in some political parties, be they at the county level or a national level, not being cleared because they have not paid their contributions for some time. They are in arrears. So, this needs to be agreed upon. In Clause 2 (e), the Bill talks about the elective bodies. That they will ensure that their nomination lists will comply with the provisions of Article 54(2). However, Clause 54(2) is about special interest groups; that, at least, in every ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: “The State shall ensure the progressive implementation of the principle that, at least, five per cent of the members of the public in elective and appointive bodies are persons with disabilities.” view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, the Chair of the Committee that brought this Bill needs to check whether this will be in line with the Constitution because it states that the five per cent requirement for PLWDs is progressive. view
