• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to repeat it here. That is what I said but, after our technicians looked into it, they realized that the chain link is going to lock in even other animals apart from the crocodiles including the mammals. Because of the changing water levels, it was not seen as a feasible solution. You will have to realize that since 9th April, 2011 when we had the last attack, no other attack has happened against any human being. This means that we have taken all the precautions to ensure that we have a team that ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the request for extension of the period for the Select Committee by three months, basically because it seems that the Committee has not finalised its work. We know of so many IDPs who have not been visited by this Committee. Those IDPs require profiling and being listened to. A number of them, particularly the over 12,000 IDPs in Turkana, have received very minimal support from the Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realise that the IDPs we have in this country are of various categories. They are not only post-election violence IDPs. ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the amendment of the amendment by the hon. Karua by the fact that that particular amendment of the amendment is consistent with the transitional clause of the Constitution, Article 28(2), which reads:- view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: “When members of the IEBC are selected, regard shall be had to the need for continuity and the retention of expertise and experience”. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think you know that I am your neighbour in Turkana South. Let me also join my colleagues to support the approval by the House of The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Bill but with a few amendments. view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying this because if you look at the role that the new commission will be tasked with, you will find that it is monumental. We are looking at an expanded role for the commission of overseeing the elections of two out of the three arms of the National Government, two arms of the county governments, delineation of the county boundaries and the preparation for elections that are due next year. When we look at this, let us think where we have come from. The problems that this country experienced when we had the ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the fact that elections are due in not more than 18 months, we have 80 constituency boundaries to be delineated. We also have boundaries for wards to be delineated. I believe that what the Bill talks about, staggering the recruitment of the nine Commissioners is not the right way to go. I do not think we can entrust only four Commissioners to oversee the critical and essential part of our electoral system. What will the others do when they are appointed 12 months after we have finished with elections and delineating the boundaries of ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to draw you attention to the Fifth Schedule, on pages 173 to 175 on the work that the IIBRC presented to this House. This Bill refers to this work that was done by the famous Ligale Commission as reference material and a report and yet this House discussed and adopted that Report. I believe that it is essential for us to consider that this is no longer the Ligale Commission Report, but a report of this House adopted by this House. Section (2c) refers to any other relevant material. This will open ... view
• 12 May 2011 in National Assembly: The First Schedule is on the Procedures for appointment of their chairperson and members of the commission. I also want to draw your attention to the role of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This Committee plays a very critical role in terms of appointment of these Commissioners. The wrangles that we have seen in this Commission are real and we cannot wish them away. Although the Speaker made a ruling yesterday by-passing this Committee, I believe that this will still be a thorn in the flesh for this House to perform its constitutional mandate. I would like ... view
