• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill and congratulate my friend Hon. Aghostinho Neto for coming up with this piece of legislation. It is true that record keeping is very important. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is okay. This is my Deputy Chairman and a good friend. The importance of record keeping in matters health is very critical. We need to be sure of who is keeping records. If you make a slight mistake in terms of keeping records in matters of health and then those who are responsible like the doctors get it wrong in terms of your health history, the results will be disastrous. I appreciate that now we are defining those who are supposed to keep these records and how they are supposed to be kept. They will now have a body ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Unless we change our Standing Orders, they are very clear that we would only admit lady Members to the Chamber with bags. Those bags must be of reasonable size and must be checked. I suppose that the bag that is held by Hon. Kaluma was checked, but it does not meet the threshold of him being a female as far as we know and as far as his records in Parliament show. There is no contradiction. There may be contradiction elsewhere, but in terms of records, the people of Homa Bay elected a male ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Let me allow Hon. Kaluma one second to walk out. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to contribute to this amendment by Hon. Chris Wamalwa. I agree with my colleagues that we need to support this amendment. I know that we need some threshold for parties to qualify for funding from State coffers. At the same time, if you raise it too high, you disadvantage parties. Therefore, you do not support multiparty democracy. Article 4 of the Constitution talks about Kenya being a multiparty republic recognising political parties. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Having said that, it is also not right to give funding to what we have variously termed as briefcase parties. Last weekend, I was sharing with the acting speaker of Migori County, who is a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) on Agano Party ticket and he confessed to us that if he is asked today to visit the offices of Agano Party, he has no idea. He does not even know the leadership of the Agano Party. He only got that certificate during that time of frustration when he could not get the ticket of the party he preferred ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We need to rein in on the Registrar of Political Parties. You asked a very fundamental question. Our law in the statutes is very clear. It says that there must be a presence in, at least, 24 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: counties. The Registrar of Political Parties has continued to allow parties to operate illegally in this country including even gender representation in the management of political parties and not having their accounts audited. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, it is unfortunate that my colleague, who is the Chairman of a party that is almost extinct or defunct, The National alliance Party (TNA), has left. He said that I am just a chairman who assumed my position recently. That may be true, but in terms of political maturity and experience, I have a longer period than him. I wanted to talk to this point as the Chairman of ODM. What we saw in Malindi cannot be downplayed. We have to complain and we must tell the Jubilee administration that Kenya is not Uganda. They must know that. They ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we need to define “relevance”. We are discussing political parties. Political parties are formed for elections. We are talking about how to improve political parties and how to make elections free and fair. There is no digression. The problem is that many of us get jittery when we discuss some of these things. It is high time we also spoke our minds because if the Kenyans who fought in the late 1980s and in the early 1990s did not stand up to speak what was right, we would be having a country that is oppressed more ... view
