• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Allow the Mover to reply so that we can go to the next business of the House. Not so many people are interested. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice as a Member of the Committee which actually sat and looked into this particular matter. We all understand even though, we are facing problems right now in the country, one thing which must never escape our minds is that as per the Constitution, we are the representatives of the people. We represent the sovereignty of the people in this House and the Constitution mandates us to legislate for them. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: As we speak, there is a conflict between which particular Committee should legislate on the matter of IEBC. Even on the matter which the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs shelved today to deal with the removal of the IEBC commissioners. The mandated Committee to deal with that constitutional provision is known to everybody. It is only because we are Kenyans and God loving people that we sometimes agree to overlook or forego some issues. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The Committee mandated to make laws on the IEBC is the one that has brought this amendment to this House. It is obliged to do so. Even if we call any other Committee names like Select Committee or Joint Committee, the bottom line is that the provision to amend this law must be brought to this Committee to look at and bring it back to this same Floor. Even if we were to deal with the question of removal of commissioners, unless that Select Committee amends Article 251(2), it will do all that, but eventually bring it as a petition ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: the Constitution to allow it to remove the commissioners. Not unless we persuade them to go home without going through all these other regulations. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: It is a matter which we have agreed as Kenyans and while reading the mood in the country right now, there are some issues which we will have to persuade each other. In law, they say that ‘the law is an ass”. We are the legislators who made this law and sometimes we want to run away from obeying it. Just like I said, we are persuaded by the mood in the country not to break the law, but to make the right amendments to allow the country to move forward. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs although we might need to make some few amendments here and there. I still support it because it is the only procedure that we can use to bring in the new commissioners to serve in the next elections. No one has a monopoly of worries. We are all worried about the next elections, from MCAs to the President. A few people should not take this issue as a matter of their own. Everybody wants to go through a free and fair election, if he or she is ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: In as much as we would want to have clean IEBC commissioners, like they say in law, “if you want justice or equity, you must come to equity with clean hands”. It is also high time for us politicians, if we want to have clean elections, to also approach it with clean hands. From the sentiments that are being said in the political arenas by both high and low ranking politicians, it is a very clear statement that in 2017, only God will prevail to help this country to be stable after the elections. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: In as much as we want to change these laws, we must also agree to change our hearts and minds. The positions we vie for are not a matter of life and death. It is only for five years and then you have another chance and you are not going to die tomorrow. We must make laws that will enable this country to see tomorrow, the day after and forever. Sometimes, I disagree with politics of manipulation and intimidation. It is not only one side that will do that. When a leader in a particular coalition makes statements that the ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will allow me to proceed because people intervened and left. view
