• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that he was around, but I do not know where he has gone. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I directed it to the Speaker. I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs and this is the sixth time. I have been waiting for this Statement to be issued. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this was in connection to almost the same amendments that are being proposed by Mr. Midiwo. It is to do with The Elections Act, Section 221(a) and 241(b). A ruling was given by the High Court and I supplied a copy of the same to the Minister. I asked the Minister to state the position between this ruling and his position because he has never obeyed the ruling of the court. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, most obliged. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have listened to the Attorney- General. When he says that there is no urgency this matter, I tend to differ with him; the nomination of political parties will be closed in the next two weeks. The political parties are reading from the IEBC nomination rules; this is one of them. They are not ready to accept any nomination papers without those qualifications. So, to say that there is no urgency is not correct, view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he misled the House because what he said is that he will issue a statement and direct IEBC not to ask for those qualifications. I did not agree with him on that position. My stand is unless the Act is amended, there is no way the IEBC is going to implement the court orders through a statement made by the Attorney-General. So, amendments have been drafted, and we can move them in this same Bill; they can be accommodated. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to mention that this ruling was given on 29th June, this year. The Attorney-General and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs have had this ruling with them and up to now they have never taken any action. As the Attorney-General reads the rulings, I should say that these clauses are unconstitutional. So, it is up to the Attorney-General to allow the amendments to be brought and we dispose of this matter immediately. view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. Today is the fifth time that he will promise to deliver that statement. When the Order for Ministerial Statements was called out, he did not rise to indicate that he will deliver it. I seek the indulgence of the Chair because this matter was discussed last week and he gave an undertaking that he will deliver it today. As far as I am concerned, there is no indication of him doing that. Could he let us know--- view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think the Assistant Minister is fair and truthful about what he is saying. This debate took place last Thursday. I remember that you participated in it. This Ministerial Statement was requested on 12th October, 2012. I think he is not willing to respond. This is a very simple issue. There is a court ruling that was delivered on 29th of June this year. He was compelled by the court to bring miscellaneous amendments to the Elections Act to remove the clauses which were had issues. But up to now, I do not ... view
