• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I look at the Election Offences Bill and the Bill which we have just debated, I am very delighted that I blew the first whistle that brought a series of activities out of which these two Bills were borne. Sometimes I think the sacrifice I paid was a small one. Today, Members from both sides of the divide are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: taking this country to the next level. Were it otherwise, perhaps we would not have reached where we are. As I look at the Election Offences Bill, there is one offence that if I was in the position to put in law, I would do so. Any Returning Officer (RO) who wilfully changes an election result should be put to death. That offence should attract a death penalty so that a Chairman and members of the IEBC who decide to change an election result that has been transmitted to them from a polling station should be put to death. If ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It will come to the Floor. You are saying no and the other time you did not want party-hopping. We want credible nominations which will be accepted by everybody, conducted using taxpayers’ money, the police, with the national register, at the same time and in the same venue so that mnakanyagana hapo hapo . There is no need of going to another party when you have finished the process unless you are the one who wants to steal from the other. If you know you are strong, go and win the election. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am saying that we have taken too long discussing party-hopping when there is a provision which will fully cure this issue that we have been fighting. This problem is because of the weaknesses in the internal democracy or in the ability of political parties to conduct nominations. It will be on the Floor tomorrow. Once it is done, you do not even have to appear as an independent candidate because you will know whether you are losing in a polling station or not. It will be obvious. So, we do not have to be excited for no reason. Party-hopping ... view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are many more reasons I would prefer Hon. Olago as my President. He speaks the truth and the law. I think what we need to understand is how this matter is going to go through the route of law-making. Today we have a Motion which basically is to find out if the Motion which we had approved earlier has been complied with and implemented. This Report in itself proposes draft Bills, but these are draft Bills which, in my view, must come in the regular manner. In other words, they would have to be published ... view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It is a constitutional right of Kenyans, but the time at which this is necessary is at the time of making the law. It is important that you direct us that there is a legislation-making process that these Bills will go through. I thank you. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: His card is the only one that is here, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a small intervention to make here. I am trying to persuade my Vice-Chairman to look at Clause 11 and if he is willing then propose a further amendment. What they have done is to create the Kenya National Highways Authority, which is a correct move. They have also put several members in it. However, there is what I think is an oversight because they have not prescribed who becomes the secretary to the Board. I was trying to convince him to move a further amendment that the Corporation Secretary becomes the secretary to the ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am just seeking your authority to ask my Vice-Chairman, if he does not disagree completely with this proposal, to move the further amendment. view
