• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to express my gratitude and to contribute to this Adjournment Motion. I remember this is a Session which has had very many tumultuous activities. We have managed to pass some Bills which are very useful to the nation. We have also managed to pass the Budget, which is a very important element as we near elections and begin a new financial year. This was the first time in history that the Budget was done at a very early stage given the dynamics of elections. We only hope that the implementers ... view
• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish Hon. Members the best as they approach the nominations. What I want Members to note is that nominations will come and go. There is room for party hopping. Do not die. If your party is not pleasing enough, or it has not given you an opportunity to represent it in this House, there is room for party hoping. You can always join the race as an independent candidate. Nomination is not a matter of life and death. If the Jubilee Coalition throws you out, you can present your papers to the IEBC as an independent ... view

• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to also take this opportunity to contribute to these regulations. One reason we must be very careful with these regulations is that they are coming in the evening, when the day is almost over. That is, when the elections are just around the corner. view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, not the literal time that we have, but on matters of elections. We are approaching elections and most of the parties are conducting their nominations The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: as early as next week. These regulations should have come at a time when people are sober and many Members are here. You must realise that most members here are either those who have been assured of direct nominations or those who are not going for nominations at all. Otherwise, you will never see faces of most of the members going for nominations in this House until probably after May. The reason these regulations may not be scrutinized properly is because people are really busy. Most of them do not care whether we have these regulations or not because they ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand guided, but members are not to blame. Ours is to wait until the regulations, or amendments to Bills are brought to the House and debate. However, we must question the timing. I do not think it was my responsibility to prompt the IEBC to bring these regulations to the House. I am saying this because if you look at the proposals they have made, especially--- view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand corrected if I am wrong, but if one looks at the regulations that have been proposed, he or she will realise that some of the provisions contained therein clash with the amendments that we recently made to the Elections Laws Act. One of the amendments, which is a subject of litigation in court says that party lists should be forwarded to the IEBC 120 days before the election date. That was a subject of contestation because it was preventing people from party hopping. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: However, if you look at the regulations on party primaries and party lists, you will see that the first item talks about submission of party nomination rules, whose deadline is Thursday, 2nd March. This is gone. The second item talks about submission of party membership lists, whose deadline lapsed on 19th March, 2017. According to the amendment that we passed recently, which is also a subject of litigation in court, 120 days is not supposed to be 8th April. I do not know on what basis the IEBC came up with these regulations, bearing in mind the fact that we ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for adding me one minute based on that consideration. Lately, we have seen many bad things happening at political rallies. I would like to urge Kenyans that that elections are not about shedding blood. Election is just competition. We must compete freely and fairly. If you are defeated, please, go and look after your goats and cows. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
