As said by the Mover of the Motion - the Leader of the Majority Party - a need has arisen that was not appropriated in the 2017/2018 Financial Year. That need is mostly, among others, to finance the presidential election slated for 26th October. A big portion of the Supplementary Estimates will focus mainly on that, as has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party. Therefore, since the 2017/2018 Financial Year expenditure has been revised under the Supplementary Estimates No.1, these are the first Supplementary Estimates under the current 2017/2018 Financial Year. It is good for Members to ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I want to start by appreciating and congratulating my good friend, Hon. Mbadi, for having been appointed the Leader of Minority Party.

Hon. Speaker, on this Motion which I support very much, the immediate former President of the United States of America, His Excellency Barrack Obama said: “Wishing your Commander-in-Chief failure is being dishonest and disloyal to your country.” We must realise that we have a country and a Commander-in-Chief at the moment. Each and every time there will be a Commander-in-Chief in this country, there would be no need of being dishonest or disloyal. That sums up all the arguments and the statements that have been given by leaders out there.

Article 249(2) of the Constitution talks of commissions and holders of independent offices. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is a commission and an independent office and that is why it is called so. Article 249(2) states that commissions and independent offices are only subject to the Constitution and that they are not subject to the direction or control of any organ or authority. If we want to uphold this Constitution as is stipulated in Article 249(3)… My good friends on the other side are celebrating the fact that the Constitution was defended by the decision of the Supreme ...

Hon. Speaker, matters of elections are very critical. We should discuss them with sobriety and with the sole purpose of uniting this country. We should not divide people the way others are doing by fronting the idea of secession. That is very wrong.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank God and the people of Kajiado South for giving me the privilege and honour to represent them for the fourth straight term without interruption. I promise that I will serve them to the best of my ability. As for the President’s Speech, it was a brief one. For those who have been here before, there was no legislative policy or proposed statements. I hope he will come soon again after 17th October to outline the legislative framework or policies ...
