• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ideally, it ought to have been a point of information. view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: I want to inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that Article 177(1)(c) envisages that there shall be an Act of Parliament that will define the number of members of marginalised groups, including persons with disabilities and the youth. Therefore, this amendment intends to amend the Act of Parliament referred to under Article 177(1)(c) rather than amending Article 177(1)(c) itself. I thought that needed to be made clear because I was also a bit confused by the proposal that Article 177(1)(c) of the Constitution shall include, and then there are sub- clauses (1), (2) and (3). Ideally, that should be sitting in the ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: I quickly corrected myself. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and my Speaker of choice, I rise to support the County Government's Election Laws (Amendment) Bill of 2024 that Sen. Crystal Asige has sponsored. This is an important amendment, and I hope that this House and the other House will see it fit to pass this because it seeks to clear some inconsistencies in law that have caused problems in the past. Sen. Crystal Asige has demonstrated exemplary industry, knowledge of legislative affairs and rare intellect. Through her diligence, she has become an idol of many people and a model of what ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: We have even considered co-sponsoring the public participation Bill together, but we have been delayed by the passage of the Sessional Paper on public participation. As you have seen, almost every other process in this country has been held hostage by concerns about public participation. I do hope that we will put our thoughts together because Sen. Crystal Asige wanted to inject the disability aspect into public participation. This Amendment Bill seeks to give effect to Article 177(1((c) of the Constitution of Kenya. Article 177(1)(c) says – view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: “A County Assembly shall consist of the number of members of marginalised groups including persons with disabilities and the youth prescribed by an Act of Parliament.” view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: The Act of Parliament that has made that prescription is not one, but two. The Elections Act under Section 36(1)(f) and 36(8) has defined the number of Members of the County Assembly to represent marginalised groups as four. The County Governments Act under Section (7)(1)(a) has defined the number to be six. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has decided to take the provisions of the Elections Act. It has been implementing the four seats per county assembly rather than the six seats that have been prescribed under the County Government's Act. When the County Government's Act was enacted, ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: We looked at another example of a gentleman who was very famous where I come from. He had a mischievous name; Otieno Omande. He was proposed for nomination in the inaugural County Assembly of Homa Bay. Otieno Omande’s disability was a hunchback and Sen. Ogola--- view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Ogola has chosen not to divulge very important information, that this particular gentleman is her brother-in-law. In my culture, you might have a personal relationship with a brother-in-law. I think there is conflict of interest in that question. Furthermore, if I were to describe the second name Omande, I would fall into the trap of unparliamentary language. I am safer calling it in the Luo language. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Otieno Omande was a very famous gentleman and a staunch Gor Mahia supporter. He was not of great height. He was of a fairly short ... view
