• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I am going there. Let me get to the substance. There are ranking Members who are older than I am, but who have used their positions to mislead this House. An issue such as a Ministerial Statement is a jurisprudent received from Westminster. A Ministerial Question is a Prime Minister’s Question. It is directed at a Minister or to the Executive. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I need protection from Hon. Duale. When he was speaking, we were very quiet. He must also listen to other people who have alternative views. Can I be protected from Hon. Duale? He must not think he is the one who has all answers in this House. Can I be protected from Hon. Duale? view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: No! No! I am on a point of order. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think we are all entitled to come here and contribute as equal Members of this House. Hon. Duale should not take it upon himself thinking he has all the answers to these questions. All of us are Members of this House by virtue of election. After all, I was elected by more votes than he was. He was elected by 3,000 votes from Garissa. You were elected by 3,000 votes and you come here thinking you are… view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to second this Bill. May I know whether I have 30 minutes to contribute so that I can plan accordingly? view

• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill is a culmination of several legislations that we have made to safeguard the electoral process. You know that we worked on Political Parties Act and several Bills which touch on campaign financing. This is the last one that anchors the electoral process in Kenya.

• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: It is an important Bill for Members. Everybody has said that election legislation should not come in the middle of an election cycle. It is not wise. However, as we can see, it is here. The problem of making a legislation is that Government Bills emanate from the Cabinet through the Attorney-General. This is where there is a disconnect. We need to see how to process these things in a manner that gives the House the teeth that it has for making legislation. The Cabinet takes as long as it wants. They bring us these Bills at the tail end ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Having said so, I want to assure the country and Members that we, as a Committee, have looked at this Bill in and out. The text that the Committee has come up with is, so far, the cleanest and safest that there has been in the history of electoral practices in Kenya. The Bill is very raw. However, it gives the skeleton or structure of the amendments that are necessary to keep it strong. I urge Members that before they look at the Bill and make opinions, please look at the Report of the Committee, which is available even on ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: There are only four objectives in this Bill which have been adverted to very well by Hon. Kimunya. He has done a lot of full disclosure. He said everything that needed to be said the way it is in the Bill. Let me just summarise them in four subsets. One, the Bill deals with transmission of results, which is in Section 39 of the parent Act. It was declared unconstitutional by the courts. Many of the provisions under that Section were declared unconstitutional by the courts. If we proceed with this parent Act the way it is, there will be ... view
