• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know my colleagues have talked about these thematic areas. I am happy that the Committee found no allegations against members of the IEBC because this is a team that has had sleepless nights. They have been bashed left, right and center by almost everybody. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, they have been found guilty in public opinions but it is coming out clearly that there were no allegations about them. It is good that they are given a dignified vacation from office because the Constitution protects them but now that we are looking for a political settlement, I support that dignified vacation of office. It is also good that the select committee has recommended that in future, the process of recruiting new commissioners for the IEBC should be done six months before the expiry of their term. This will retain institutional memory. There will be time ... view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: registration bureau and the register of voters. They should be sharing information and cross- referencing data using technology. This will help when it comes to voter registration. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on this issue of verifying the voter register, I am happy with the recommendation that has been made that it should be done at the polling station. This is because at times, only one clerk is sent to a ward and voters are told to report to that one registration clerk for verification. In this Report, it is recommended that voter registration or verification should be done at the polling ... view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me finalise. I was talking about the issue of waiting cards. In this Report, it is recommended that it cannot be used as a document for registering as a voter. When you apply for an identity card and then you get a waiting card, it is not a guarantee that you will be issued with an ID. There will be security details to be checked and your application may be declined. This is very important. I do not know whether this is going to be possible. The Committee has recommended that when you apply ... view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With regard to voter education, it is good that those agencies that were proposed to partner with IEBC to conduct voter education be facilitated. However, there is need to monitor them so that they do not conduct political civic education. There is also the recommendation on party preliminaries. All political parties should hold their nominations on the same day. That will help a lot. I want us to modernise IEBC through this Report so that they can establish real-time systems using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It will be good to produce an impartial, efficient, simple, accurate and verifiable system ... view
