Hon. Speaker, you are right. I forgot my card. It depends on where you were yesterday. I want to support the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for the request she made on the extension of time. This is a very serious matter that needs to be looked into properly. Hon. Speaker, the issue of fuel pricing in this country is much bigger than taxation. As a country, we have to look into this thing holistically, right from the procurement and see whether we can actually control the price. The market forces should be allowed to ...

This horse died a long time ago, but we are flogging it here because the IEBC has a tendency of shifting blame. You will hear very soon in the streets that Parliament is opposed to campaign ...

This boils down to the competence of IEBC, and whether it has a properly constituted Legal Department. This is the same IEBC that had an election nullified by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court then said that there were irregularities and illegalities at the IEBC. The same IEBC has now brought Regulations which are full of irregularities and illegalities.

The Chair has alluded to the fact that when they appeared before the Committee on Delegated Legislation, they were accompanied by a battery of lawyers. All the lawyers will be paid but, the fact of the matter is that, the law was not followed when the Regulations were made. Kenyans must be made aware that the IEBC never followed the law. If you want to know that the IEBC was inciting Kenyans, before tabling the Regulation in the House as required so that they can be passed, the IEBC published the figures in the Kenya Gazette. What they were trying ...
