Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I stand to oppose this Motion. The coalition I belong to is peace-loving and we are enjoying the benefits of the new Constitution which this country attained in 2010. This country is at a very extraordinary time. The Constitution has provided a scenario where stealing of elections is coming to an end. It will become impossible to steal elections in this country anymore if what I saw in the last election is true. My presidential candidate has been accused of being a perennial loser by the Member who has spoken ...

In this country, there are people who have become perennial election thieves. They have perfected the act of stealing elections. We have the people, they have the system. This time, the system was set at 54 per cent and I am told in 2022, it will be set at 70 per cent, in 2027 at 98 per cent and in 2032, at 99 per cent. There is no need for anyone to contest. This is what my presidential candidate and the coalition are fighting against. We must respect institutions which were created by the new Constitution. For example, think of ...

I cannot do that, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I must respect your ruling and I must respect the institution called Parliament. What my party leader or presidential candidate has done for this country compared to what the leadership of the Jubilee Party has done is like day and night. You know the history of my presidential candidate. He is a man who has fought for constitutional transformation of this country. The freedoms we are enjoying today came through after my presidential candidate was detained for nine years without trial.

I am really shocked and tongue tied when a senior elder interrupts me.

No, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is unfair. I had not even spoken. He just interrupted me.

No, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Be fair and just. You know very well I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that we had a new Constitution through a referendum, but you know very well that the Leader of the Majority Party was on the side of “No”, who were opposing the Constitution. Yeye ni mtu wa mkono wa Deputy President.

Ooh! He was not with the Deputy President at that time? He is saying he was on leave. To finish my contribution, I am shocked by the way an elder called Hon. Maina Kamanda spoke. He said my party leader never participated and he had no contribution. He said that in 2002 he did not play a role in President Kibaki becoming the president of this republic. That time, if Raila Odinga said Duale tosha, Duale would have been the president of this country. That is for a fact. Let us not behave in a way that you forget people ...

There will be no elections unless the IEBC is reformed. Unless our irreducible minimums are met, there will be no elections. Do not be cheated by anybody. You know who I speak for. I speak with authority.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This is a very important Bill for this nation. I remember the first year when we arrived here, this is one of the Bills that were so contentious and we debated whether the Senate has a role in it or whether it is the domain of the National Assembly to discuss it. The Senate took it to the Supreme Court to seek an opinion and the opinion said that they have a role to also look at it. This is the Bill that divides ...

national Government should have devolved the policy on how counties can lease the equipment because they are the big brothers. They should have sent that document back to the counties so that counties evaluate their needs in terms of health services and the equipment they need to lease. However, this was a blanket conditional way of doing things where counties were told: “We have leased for you equipment worth Kshs38 billion and because we are the ones who are going to give you money every year, we are going to tell you how much you are going to pay every ...
