• 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
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, this House orders that the business appearing as Order Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3) today being a Wednesday morning, a day allocated for Business not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party or a Member belonging to the Majority or Minority Party or Business sponsored by a Committee. view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC), I would like to report that it was not wise to exempt Order Nos.9 to No. 14 from Standing Order No. 40(3) because of one main reason. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Order No.10 and Order No.11 relate to Bills that have constitutional timeline of 27th August, 2016 at midnight, which is two days to come. Therefore, the HBC resolved that today and tomorrow, being the last two days to the constitutional deadlines of those Bills, we would like to seek leave of the House to have those Orders completed. If the House ... view

• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Mine is a plea to the House. I would like my good friend, Hon. Ababu Namwamba, to listen. When I was moving the Procedural Motion No. 8, I pointed out that those Motions have a constitutional timeline of, basically, tomorrow. This is because the timeline is 27th August 2016, which will be on Saturday. As a House, we had already extended the timelines for those Bills by one year. We cannot extend for a second time. Therefore, Motion No. 10 and Motion No. 11 are Motions that are in accordance with Article 113(2) of ... view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, I just want to move that the House accepts those Motions the way they are because they are as a result of a mediated version. A mediated version by both Houses means the Bill is lost if one House rejects the mediated Report. There is no room for the two Committees of those Houses, which is the Mediation Committee, to meet again once they have presented their mediated Report to the House. What will happen is that it has to be started afresh. That is my plea to the House. view

• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, the issues raised by the Hon. Members starting from Hon. Kaluma of Homa Bay Town Constituency, Hon. Ababu Namwamba of Budalang’i Constituency and the Member of Parliament for Kipipiri are very pertinent and valid. I could say it was an oversight by the Mediation Committee. But, time for curing those mistakes is not there. The room is now for us to pass the mediated version the way it is and, subsequently, maybe after six months, it is brought back. We see some concerns even on the original Bill. The clauses which were not cited by the Senate and did ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Finance Bill. I want to appreciate the fact that our economy has been doing well. In 2014, it grew by 5 per cent and in 2015, it went up by 5.6 per cent and it is expected to grow by 6 per cent in 2016. That shows that there is prudent financial management in the National Treasury. I would like to congratulate them. Although the Mover of the Bill stated that with this growth and strong macro-economic stability attained by our economy, there are still challenges of unemployment, poverty, inequality, ... view
