• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: If you look at the provisions that have been made in the Bill in terms of the bodies that are supposed to nominate the committee that is supposed to come up with the names of commissioners, the only body that I have faith in as a person, and I think many Kenyans believe in, is the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). I do not think these other organisations such as the Public Service Commission (PSC), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) Kenyans may have faith in them. ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: You are saying one person nominated by the Interreligious Council of Kenya (ICK). These religious people are the ones who gave us the commissioners we have now. What new thing do you think they will bring which they did not bring last time when they were the ones chairing that body that was nominating people? view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, we cannot repeat one mistake after the other and expect different results. My view is that the major stakeholders in an electoral process are political parties. Those are the people on whose behalf an electoral body should conduct an election. Elections are not for religious organisations or the EACC. They are going to do elections for politicians who are contesting for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: offices. So, I can agree with the P SC because they deal with politicians in Parliament when they are elected. So, they can have a role to play. These other commissions do not have any role to play in our politics. These are independent commissions under Chapter 15 of our Constitution, but some of them are quasi Government. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: If you look at the Executive Order No.1 of the President that was released immediately after the elections, all these commissions are placed under certain ministries in terms of helping them execute their mandate. Some have been put under the Ministry of Education and others at the Ministry of Justice at the State Law office. Some have been put under the Ministry of Water depending on their functions. They are independent, but part of Government at the same time. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, it is my considered opinion that we can do better than this. This is one organisation in which we have not got right for some time. We have had a new commission for each election. The commission that conducted elections in 2002 did not do the 2007 elections. The one that did the 2007 elections did not do the 2013 elections and so is the one that did the 2017 elections. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, we must get it right this time round. Even if we are going to spend more time and interrogate the matter, we better get it right. We should not be in a hurry just to pick people from commissions. Who told you we have faith in the EACC or the LSK? Who is the LSK? I am not a lawyer and I do not understand what the LSK does in Kenya. It is only lawyers who know what they are doing. So, when you are talking about the LSK, the EACC and the Public Service Commission to nominate people ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: They must get it right in the sense that there must be proper consultation, interrogation and we must have a proper Commission that Kenyans will have faith in and accept the manner they conduct elections. Look at the commission that was given to us by religious organisations, four members have run away and only three have remained. What is the problem? We did it in a hurry. These commissioners came into office barely eight months to the elections. We should have taken our time. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: These bodies are all over the world and are not peculiar to our country. We have electoral bodies that conduct elections all over the world. Let us look at the best practice. There are countries that conduct better elections than us and there are those that we conduct better elections than. I am not saying that we do not conduct proper elections, but there are countries doing better than us and there are countries that we are doing better than. We must look at the best practise because these bodies are all over the world, so that we can see ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Some of the reasons Kenyans fight all the time is because of electoral disputes. Some people feel that elections were not properly conducted and others feel that they were properly conducted. We must abide by what the electoral commission has done, but it is also true that in the process of putting in place that body, we must do our best to have faith and confidence of the population. If you constitute this Commission in a manner that some Kenyans do not have faith in it, that will be the beginning of the problem. view
