Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in accordance with Rule 16 of the EALA Rules, the Joint Select Committee on Election of EALA Members has powers to reject any name for the reasons that have been stipulated. Rule 16 gives the Committee powers to reject a candidate without necessarily asking for a replacement, if it is apparent that after rejecting the candidate, the candidates remaining on the list will not affect the election based on the various shades of opinion.

by the presiding officers, there was a detailed briefing done to the political leadership of both Houses before the actual nomination exercise, which was carried out on 30th November. Our rules state that public participation should be done. Thereafter, on 1st and 4th December 2017, which was Friday and Monday respectively, the presiding officers gave the public an opportunity to inspect the nomination papers and submit any complaints they may have had with respect to the nominated candidates.

I want to report that there was not even a single memorandum which was written in support or against any of the candidates. The public wrote nothing. Members of the 11th Parliament know very well what I mean when I say for or against. This is because very soon you will start vetting Cabinet Secretaries (CSs), Principal Secretaries (PSs) and other State officers and you will start receiving a lot of memoranda from individuals or institutions in support of certain candidates or against others.

As many have said, Hon. Nyenze was first of all the first Leader of the Minority Party under the new Constitution promulgated in 2010. We worked with him in the 11th Parliament both at the leadership of this House, Committee on Appointments and in House Business Committee. In plenary or Floor of this House, Hon. Nyenze exhibited exemplary qualities that a leader of that stature would have. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

He was very humble, friendly to everybody and ever jovial. As many have said, even in our leadership caucuses, he was a unifying centre who was never extreme on any of the political issues, be it in the House or outside the House. Many were mistaking it to say that he was a weak leader. He was not. He was very sober. He was soft but very firm. At the same time, he spoke his mind as many have said. Even the latest was when the NASA Coalition was coming up with a single presidential candidate. He spoke his mind ...
