• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: nominees, 90 days to the election. Clause 9 of the Bill states that nominations should be done 60 days before elections. The 30 days when your name would have been forwarded to a particular party, this party was sneaked in by people who want to strangle others. When you are humiliated during nominations, you will have no other opportunity to move to any other party. We should delete this part so that we move to the original Act which was stating that we submit the list of Members 45 days before elections. view

• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to state here clearly that I have been trying to lobby Members. Most of them are telling me “ Baba amesema”. Seemingly, I could be the only one who is an orphan. I wish to withdraw and clearly state that I am a very sad person today because some “ Babas ” have spoken. view

• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to ventilate on this Bill. The Bill is very good because it has some parts which will bring some little change to the issues that this country has been suffering from. However, some parts which we argued against the other time have been sneaked in. This one will eat into the question raised by M heshimiwa Olago. There are some parts which we amended in this House, but they have found their way mysteriously back to this Bill. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe Clause 4 is good for this country. It talks about the public portal where members of the public will be checking whether they are genuinely registered. It is meant to eliminate those people who unfortunately might be dead, so that they may not vote again. That is a good part. You can check yourself in the portal and know whether you are registered or not. If you are not in the register, you can register yourself or appeal. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 6 talks about the audit of voters. I agree with the fact that we need to have an independent body that will audit the registers we are using in this country, so that we can genuinely know the voters and those who are not voters. I agree with that. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I also agree with Clause 13 which talks about the registered voters who are supposed to be in a polling station. The maximum should be 500, so that we cannot make people tire during the voting by queuing, having so many queues and making people travel for long distances to vote. I agree with that. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I agree with the clause which looks into matters of the presentation of nomination papers. However, the part which I vehemently disagree with is clauses 8, 9, 10 and 11. I do not know why people are so much interested in making other people frustrated. We have a Constitution in this country which allows each and every member of this country to join any association, and to be associated with any people or party. Clause 9 says that parties have 90 days to forward the names of the party members to the IEBC. I fail to understand why a party ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We have a clause which says nomination must be done 60 days to election. You fail to understand why we have this 30-day period. My understanding is that after the 30 days period, when you go for nomination, the members who will be aggrieved will have nowhere to appeal. They will appeal only to the arbitration in those parties, but we all know who elects those party officials. If they want to rig you out, they will not listen to you because they already have a predetermined mind. We have High Courts, Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court, so ... view
