• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that she was among the others who were sitting through this and I want to appreciate everybody who was with us in this House. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank all of those who have sat through, including Mr. Lesrima who has just walked in a little bit late. But as I do this, I also want to say that we have been in consultation with the Ministry. I have talked to the Minister who is the boss of Mr. Mbiuki. I also talked with his colleague, the Assistant Minister, Mr. Ndambuki. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that while in that engagement there was full support for the Bill. I understand and appreciate that there is the Crops Bill; I have gone through it. We were here and when the Minister was not here, we went through it, supported it and we agree that the principles are very useful to the whole of the industry. But it is also comforting for pyrethrum farmers to know that their view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to appreciate the effort that hon. Midiwo has made in trying to bring amendments to this Act. I agree there are quite a number of things that need to be amended as we go along and we will have to continue doing that. My only concern is this amendment that he has proposed today, the intention is good, but I think it opens us to a lot of difficulties. view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even as I struggle to look for more kind words to what hon. Midiwo has done, I have to say that I stand to oppose the entire amendment for the reasons that others have given. It is obvious that we cannot wish it away. Once we say that people can vote using waiting cards certainly--- A colleague was confiding in me that they are waiting for this to happen in Eastleigh and these waiting cards will be manufactured overnight within part of this city and even within our residential areas. view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me recognize that this shows a real need to look into the issue of ID cards. I was back home on Saturday, attending a burial of a former councillor called Wakanene, and one of the young men came over to me and said that he was still holding a waiting card that he had received sometime early this year. To date, he does not have a card and he fears that he may not able to vote. I think what we should be doing is to deal with the Hon. Kajwang’s Ministry and try and ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the one amending the provision on political parties, allowing people who are just on our list--- Again for good reasons, yes, but I think we will miss the spirit of the Constitution. What informed this amendment, and even made the Constitution bulky, were political issues; this was because of a culture that we have continued to have which has no respect for political parties. We have run political parties as private entities and the spirit of the Constitution was to ensure that parties develop to a point where they are institutions and you have people ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, today, what has happened is very good for this nation. We have had many people who have pretended to the throne, and that number by midnight tonight will have been brought down to a number that Kenyans can deal with. They will actually know who are their---- They could be two, according to Mbadi; remember the earlier comment by hon. Dr. Khalwale that we now know the work that you can do very well and we thank you for it. But for whatever manageable number that Kenyans can know, I think it is good. If we ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: So, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, some of these are very difficult for us. But it is important that we continue trying to live by them because of what want to achieve in the long run. If we amend this provision as proposed by hon. Midiwo, we will be back where all you need to do is to be in your backyard. You do not need to struggle to go out, perhaps in the counties that have few people, who can help you win an election, and explain to them what your party stands for, for them to register with it. ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I do appreciate that, yes, the Registrar of Political Parties has challenges. But what we should be trying to do to help that office to do what we expect it to do as, opposed to going back undoing what we have done--- view
