• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to state here that the registration of the committees actually has started. I think both the No and Yes secretariats have been communicated to; that they should submit particulars of their officials to the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC). So, please, if there is anybody who has not done so, I can only recommend that you should urgently get in touch with the respective secretariats so that they can avail the necessary forms. The rules for the referendum have been gazetted and regulations have also been published. This can also be obtained ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other point that I would want to touch on is the issue of whether or not this is a Government project. This is something that we really need to clarify and be honest on. I think to the extent of ensuring that resources are available to the various agencies that are conducting the referendum, including the IIEC, Committee of Experts or security agencies that will provide security in those areas, that is Government responsibility. That should be a distinction between Government responsibility and a Government project. I think people have been deliberately toying around ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude by saying that on the issue of the prisons, I think even for the Yes camp, nobody has been given access to go and campaign in the prisons. So, they have their right to vote as ordered by the court, but in all fairness if you were to ask me, I would say that really the Yes and No camps can garner enough votes outside the prisons. They should let the Kenyans who are within the prison premises have an opportunity to study the document and then vote according to ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know of any section of the law within the constitutional review process which says that President Mwai Kibaki, hon. Raila or hon. William Ruto, could not conduct any civic education programme anywhere. I do not know of any law which could have prohibited them from undertaking some civic education at that time. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that. I did not even say that we wear red and green. He is putting words in my mouth. All I said was that there is no law that bars anybody; either the President, Prime Minister or any Member of Parliament to undertake some voluntary civic education in their respective areas or any part of the country. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that on the last issue about the investigations about the Uhuru Park incident, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security will make a formal statement on that matter. He is prepared to make it on Tuesday next week. That will deal with the matter. view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, I am trying to summarize that. I agree with hon. Millie Odhiambo- Mabona that, that is an issue that we will have to raise officially as a concern. Children must be protected in this process; whether we are campaigning from the “Yes” or the “No” side. We have to abide by the law and we must not subject our children to such things. We should not use them to advertize in a negative or scary context. We must keep children away from this process in accordance with the law. Mr. Ruto, you are a decent man. You will appreciate ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: That is true. I will do that. I also want to state that the concerns raised by hon. Dr. Eseli about rigging will be conveyed to the Interim Independent Electoral Commission. It is their duty to conduct that and if there are any public concerns in potential areas, I think they should be highlighted in advance so that, as they make their final preparation for the conduct of the civic elections, they can take the necessary precautions where there are fears of any kind. Lastly, I just want to say that when hon. Mutula was dealing with aspects of prisons, ... view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The balance that is owed to the Municipal Council of Naivasha from the Lake Naivasha Growers Association after payment of the first Kshs10million is Kshs1.4 million. (b) I want to state here that the audit of the amount owing has already been conducted and we have directed the Municipal Council of Mombasa to pursue the other cess payers for the outstanding balance. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I was talking about Naivasha. It is Lake Naivasha and I said Naivasha Municipal Council. That is what I said. view
