• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope I may not necessarily take the entire 25 minutes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week during my contribution to this Bill, I indicated that this is a welcome proposition. During the long recess, all of us have been saying that among the issues that we need to look into, as a House, is the enactment of this law. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the proposal on the Bill, I take issue with Clause 1. For clarity I will read:- 936 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2007 "This Act may be cited as the Political ... view

• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: or Nyinyi kwa Wao or Nyinyi kwa Nini --- If a political party like that one was formed and Capt. Nakitare wished to contribute Kshs100 million to that party--- view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: I am told he can! All that will be required for us to provide in the law is a record of that contribution or donation. The Registrar or any other person that keeps the records is notified that Capt. Nakitare has contributed that amount to that particular political party. But limiting members to only Kshs1 million may, in a sense, very well kill the institutions that we want to build and nurture. That coupled with the fact that, we have not quite made it clear as to the amount of money that will go to the Political Parties Fund, I ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, an issue was raised about the location of the Registrar of Political Parties. I want to acknowledge receipt of a letter dated 20th April, 2007. It is written to all Members of Parliament by the Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK). He seems to take issue with the fact that the Registrar of Political Parties is shown in the Bill to have operational autonomy. According to him, he will also be operating within the ECK, which is also autonomous. So that we do not split hairs over nothing, we need to ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member 952 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2007 in order to continue misleading the House and himself that by passing this Bill we are legitimising ethnicity? In Clause 6, the Bill clearly says that the Registrar shall not register a political party founded on ethnic, age, tribal, racial, gender, regional, linguistic, cooperatives, professional--- view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to inquire as to the hon. Member's disposition. He began by congratulating the Minister responsible for this Bill and throughout his contribution he is lambasting and saying the language used is bad, civil servants wrote the Bill and so on. What is his position? view
• 24 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Right from the outset, I would like to state that I support this Motion. When the Minister was moving this Motion, he indicated that some of the new requirements that he has made in the Supplementary Estimates were, for instance, those payments related to teachers' salaries and those intended to go into the revival of Uchumi Supermarkets. Those are moves that are welcome. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you look through the Supplementary Estimates, sometimes you wonder what happens between the time the main Budget is prepared and the last three- quarters ... view
