• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I realise that I have to explain many of these things because when we sat the other time many Members sought for explanation. So, I will be as brief as I can and try to capture the mood of the House. Clause 3 has to do with what we saw in Kibra, in the Mariga case, in which although he was not a registered voter in the affected electoral area, he contested in the Kibra by-election. It was a very untidy way of doing things. We also have to have a way through which to standardise the process. If, for ... view

Inspection is a continuous activity that should go on every time. However, just a few days to an election, voters should have an opportunity to verify that their details are properly captured in the voters register. We needed to break these two components so that one refers to inspection and the other to verification. This now shows that voter registration is continuous but rectification is limited to the period before a by-election or an election. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Member for Suba North is absolutely right. The concept of political parties is something we are strengthening.
