• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. Today, I stand an embarrassed Kenyan, quite ashamed and very sad at what is happening at KQ. The carrier that was once known to be the pride of Africa has been turned to a house of plunder and loot. It is common knowledge that KQ is dead. It has collapsed. It is scandalous and is synonymous with corruption. It has been ailing for the last few years with huge debts, poor customer relations and poor management. Poor investment decisions have been made based on how they bought many planes ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. I rise to support this Bill in totality. 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
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Before I go to my points on the Bill, I would like to react to comments made by Hon. Ngeno on how we were whipped and how we went under beds. This suggests that we are worshipping our leaders. I know Hon. Ngeno was addressing both sides of the political divide, because last week there was a coalition that was also whipped. Hon. Speaker, every house which has a parent has rules. When parents summon their children, they go. I want to appreciate and understand Ngeno’s situation because he is yet to get into the family way, and understand how ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I want to support this Bill. It has addressed many issues. One of the critical issues that this Bill has addressed is the register of voters. It has decontaminated the whole system. It has freed it from irregularities that we previously heard. People were complaining that the IEBC was being an unfair referee. Many problems were bedevilling the Commission, and there was loss of public trust. All these are addressed in this Bill. Clause 4 of the Bill amends Section 6 of the Elections Act to require the IEBC to maintain a portal to allow online inspection of the register ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 5 gives 90 days for biometric verification of the register before elections. This is adequate time before elections. That addresses the issue of the election register. It also allows for the audit of the register by an independent firm for accuracy, six months before elections, and to report the findings to Parliament. There is also the issue of ghost voters or non-existent voters. This Bill is basing eligibility of voting on the biometric voter register and the production of identification documents by the voter. This is a good thing. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 14 amends Section 39 of the Elections Act to provide electronic transmission of results. This has always been the problem in previous elections where people have been suspicious of rigging and manipulation of results. It also reduces the complaints from agents who usually say they have been chased from the polling stations for manipulation of votes to take place. The transmission of results to the national tallying centre from the polling station, the constituency and the county tallying centres is a very good thing. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill prescribes the processes and mechanisms for presentation of petitions. I know of a case in Turkana where after one member lost, she tried to present her petition to the Returning Officer. This is because people do not know the mechanisms and the processes of presenting petitions. The Bill also prescribes processes for nomination of independent candidates, submission of party lists and provision of voter education. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Bill. Thank you. view
