• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: The report of the census like the one which was done this year, ultimately informs how many constituencies you are going to have in Narok or Nairobi, then you are told three people from IEBC will sit down, just like we go back to the time when we had an imperial president where three to five people who were not elected will say this constituency can be moved from this place to another without a politically negotiated process that involves elected people from their constituencies and counties. The reason I am saying this is because, today, Murkomen may have a ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: In the Constitution of Zimbabwe, the report of delimitation of wards and constituencies must be submitted to the President who causes the report to be laid in Parliament within seven days for it to be debated and approved. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Canada, the Commission prepares a report which is sent to the Speaker of the House of Commons through the chief electoral officer of Canada. The Speaker must ensure that it is tabled and referred to a Committee designated for electoral matters. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the United Kingdom (UK), the Commission submits its report on delimitation of constituencies ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Commission (IEBC) has gone through the scientific process that is provided for in Article 89 of the Constitution, they submit the report to Parliament which will give its recommendation. The recommendation will be resubmitted to the IEBC which will bring a final report that will be considered by Parliament. This is extremely important. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I persuade my colleagues in the Senate that we may have full trust to say that we leave it as it is in the Constitution and allow IEBC to do what they want. It would be extremely irresponsible for us. The day IEBC will ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the seconder of the Motion that, indeed, he is right to the extent that when the report comes to Parliament, we either approve it or fail to approve. It is not the duty of Parliament to carry out the division of moving a constituency here, there or so forth. It is to approve or not approve the decision after the process has been done. Secondly, this is a constitutional amendment. The process of how to reach the final detail is legislative. Consequentially, it will require an approval in Parliament which the Committee ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: I thought I was on a point of order. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: I think I understand Sen. Orengo’s position so that Members should be given time to read the Bill so that they can be able to interrogate and appreciate its consequences and make a decision. I have no problem with that. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, It is not true that when it comes to population of counties---. If you read Article 188 of the Constitution, it is delimiting even changing boundaries for counties and population is a factor. Other factors are demographic trends and physical and human infrastructure. It is theoretically possible, for example, in future that Elgeyo Marakwet can expand its boundaries to touch into other counties and move one constituency to another county and so forth. It is just that the process of Article 188 is different. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: My point is this: as is said, when I spoke to as many people as possible in this House, I wanted it to be very clear that I am not sponsoring this as part of the Government, as a Leader of Majority or as a party Member or anything. I have no problem with a loss. You can even see that I am happy. I just want to go on record that I was part and parcel of the people who tried to find a solution that involved the people’s representatives---. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: I thought I was on a point of order but it is okay. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question that has been raised by Sen. Sakaja, makes a lot of sense. I do not think it was a point of order; that was a point of debate. If Sen. Madzayo thinks it should be postponed, which I can see is the mood of the House---. This House gives us the opportunity to say things for the record. There will be a record in this House in future regarding our process of constitutional debate so that it can be part and parcel of the record of this House. We are not just saying it for ... view
