• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue that I think other Members have spoken to is the issue of verification of signatures that we need to speak to because we saw when the signatures were taken to the IEBC, we had to spend a lot of money running into millions that we did not need to. I remember when we brought the Okoa Kenya last time, one of the reasons we were told our signatures were refused is because people even had elephants as signatures. Constitutionally, there is nothing stopping you from having an elephant as your signature or even drawing Millie Odhiambo as ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Another honorius issue is that I can see we are providing public participation twice. People will have done public participation at the counties like they are doing right now and when it comes to Parliament, again public participation. Unless we want to take public participation to Uganda, it is the same people we are involving in public participation and we are making it too expensive. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: There is also provision that gives the President timelines. When the Bill has been taken to the President, it is given seven days, but we do not say what happens if the President refuses. We are not doing this for purposes of this referendum. This Bill is for posterity. I doubt it will even apply in this referendum. It will not. But should we in future have a situation where the President decides he does not want to forward, what then happens? Let us make a provision that says within seven days if he does not, he will be deemed ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other thing I do not like is where we are saying, where counties do not forward their decisions, they will be deemed to have rejected. We are not too sure. If they fail to forward, they shall be deemed to have passed, so that we are sure that they make a decision, one way or the other. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue that people have talked about is single or multiple questions. When we talk about single or multiple questions and we are talking about a Bill even in the Constitution, what multiplicity are we talking about? Unless we are talking under Article 1 of the Constitution. The Constitution talks about a Bill. If you give a Bill, like this Bill we are talking about right now, what will Kenyans vote about? Are we turning the whole country into a Parliament? When is their Committee of the whole House? Where will they be saying this one ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The issue of declaration of results is also a concern to me. We need to have the same standards as provided in the existing law. We should not provide new standards. Finally, because people are very concerned, one of the amendments we can bring is on the commencement period. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I support with amendments. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support the Bill. Even as I support it, I noted that you are challenging my good friend, Hon. K.J, on whether he is still a comedian now that he referred to Redykyulass. He is still a comedian if he thinks that the hustler nation can take the country anywhere. He is true to form. Having said that, with regard to the Bill, I agree with the Members that, as a country, we still need libraries and we must promote a reading culture. In my constituency, ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: in this day and time, should we still refer to the digitised paper as a newspaper? Maybe, there should be a terminology for it. If the other countries have not, maybe, we need to go ahead of them. Also, if you look at the objective of this Bill, it is very limiting. It does not include what all the Members are talking about, which is to encourage a reading culture. It is very limiting in terms of the things that we need to provide this Bill for. I will be proposing further amendments in relation to that. In Clause 5 ... view
