• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I was a member of this Committee. When we started this process on 12th July, 2016 we never thought we would agree. In fact, we started as two groups which were looking at each other from very hard positions. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am happy that we agreed on this Report every time by consensus. In fact, at no time did we vote on this Report. Before us are very critical issues on the allegations against the IEBC and based on these allegations we were to recommend vacation and not removal. Article 251 of the Constitution talks about removal of the Commission at the right time but what we were given by the two Houses was vacation. There was no provision in law about vacation. Funny enough, the law governing the IEBC does not allow room for resignation or death for vacation. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: As recommended in the Report, there was no specific allegation that was showing any of the commissioners was culpable. In fact, when they appeared before us and said they are going to voluntarily resign, we came up with a dignified exit which is being criticised here. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The other aspect before us was the issue of how to reconstitute the Commission. It was very contentious between the parties. We agreed on it and you can see what is in the Report. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we abandoned the Fourth Thematic Area on legal policies and institutional frameworks to improve the electoral system and processes. We, therefore, came up with voter registration, voter education, nomination, registration of candidates and public media. All these were part of my mandate. I do not agree, therefore, that we had no mandate to discuss the issue of party nomination and registration. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We know very well in this country that the biggest problem with the electoral process is nomination of parties. If you thought that was out of our mandate, it is fine but we had to go through that process. I am happy that the mood in the House today is different from yesterday’s when we were condemning the Report. This is a good Report which was well negotiated. We had very agonizing moments and late night sittings. The men and women you put there did a good job. This, I must say, will improve our electoral environment. The electoral infrastructure ... view
