• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 15 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (a). We have taken this as a consequential amendment to the Political Parties Act. So, this is view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 16. This is the sweetener of it all, the proverbial 10-day window. I am sure Hon. Sankok does not need this but you then can move from the party in which you have been to be an independent Member. So, I know the Member for Kisumu East is very excited because he is already there. He is an independent mind. Anybody who wants to go there should consult him first. The second justification is that we have carried on paragraph (a) in the amendments ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I thank Hon. Osotsi and the Majority Whip for the remarks they have made. For the Hansard, we need to be clear. Kenya is a multiparty democracy. All efforts should be made to make sure that political parties work. Being an independent candidate is an exception rather than the rule.

At the end of the day, what I am excited about is that this section of the law has gone through tremendous bashing by litigants. Every section has been looked into with a spotlight. The Committee had this onerous duty of trying to harmonise the body of law which controls transmission, which is everything. If elections have been done properly at the polling station, we should not have a problem with elections because we cannot take it to the people to see what the polling stations had done. There must be a legal framework ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: say that we can have an election without transmission is being idle. But, again, the Constitution talks about variability, transparency – and many lofty words that an election must conform to. The amendment that you see is the clearest text that I have seen that cleans up the issue around transmission. The Leader of the Majority Party has even made it clearer on the issue of live streaming because IEBC is not a communication authority which would regulate or create a mechanism for live transmission. That must be done elsewhere and it is not IEBC’s job. So, we are not ... view
