I am seriously worried. What I saw here is not normal. I am really worried. This man should be put in the first quarantine in Mbagathi. His voice is coming from deep inside his stomach.

This is one serious coronavirus case. I am told he was in Italy recently where he went to see the Pope at the Vatican. I think this man is sick. We should report him.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in the last census that was conducted, it was found that disabled people like Hon. Sankok were 6.5 million. For how long are they going to be minority? They are majority now. They are equal to Kikuyus in Kenya.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose the amendment. I know the Chair, Hon. Kioni, is an expert in forming political parties, especially towards elections time. I am sure he is laying ground to come up with another one. We are not going to allow this amendment. I remember he had the United Democratic Forum Party. He now wants to set up another party. Let him start by having a website, then he the political party.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this issue is very serious. I oppose this amendment. It says that 73 per cent of the Fund proportionately shared among all the political parties, subject to subsection (2). They are saying a party must have one governor, 12 MCAs and five MPs. Can you imagine a party calling itself a political party with 12 MCAs out of 1,450 MCAs in the country, and you want to call that a serious political party that needs to be funded by taxpayers’ money with five Members of Parliament out of a parliament of 416 Members? You are telling ...

should be given taxpayers’ money to run its affairs? I beseech the Chair to withdraw. We do not need to vote on this one. We must have serious political parties like ODM in this country. In fact, this afternoon, I came to this House basically to shoot down this amendment because this is an affront to democracy. How can you have a party like United Democratic Forum Party (UDF), to which the Chairman used to belong, which died long time ago? If they were funded by taxpayers’ money, by now they would be down. Secondly, you see his sequence of ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in the interest of time, the issue is very clear. We do not need to micromanage political parties on how they nominate their people. Every person who has been nominated to this House has a role he or she has played in his or her political party, including a girlfriend. Everybody has a role to play in a political party. So, do not be bothered about that. Let political parties do their nominations. By the way, the Chair, in his amendment, is proposing that we use party election boards. All political parties have election boards. The ...

As much as I agree with your ruling that we wait for the breakfast tomorrow, you know the statement was done in plenary before the public and Kenyans were listening to it. “Each for equal” the way I understand it is that, only a man who is equal to a woman should come for that breakfast.

I do not know how that equality has been measured; whether you are equal in other extraordinary work or in terms of height or in terms of earnings in salary or way of living. What is this “Each for Equal?” Unless we are told that, we shall not attend that meeting. I am equal to my wife, but if she wants me to prove I am equal to another person, then I have to be given time to prove that. That statement of “Each for equal” has serious connotations that are hidden. I am a Muslim and I agree. Can ...
