• 14 May 2019 in Senate: scanned is not the primary data. The primary data is this one, which you can amend. What sort of people are we, that you can even doubt a system? You can even say in this technological time, that between a document that you have scanned and transmitted, that the primary document is the one that you are left holding. Then you say that the returning officer from Marsabit should drive to Nairobi and bring the primary document. Sometimes I think we are primitive. It is not just possible. We are a sick country! In fact in my view, if we ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: How much money is traded on Mpesa? Billions of Shillings. Kenyans sleep well at night because they know that the Mpesa platform is secure. What about the elections, what is so different? What do you think has more stake to Kenyans? Is it not their money? It is their money, because it is in billions, but we sleep well at night with M-Shwari, Kochokocho, Pochopocho, Puliza, Fuliza, we are happy. They can come up with whatever name and we are happy with it, and we feel secure. Why can we not feel secure with an election? We can puliza our ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: I am wondering why we need to import a chairman, for example, Justice Sax, who came from South Africa, who sat in the Kriegler Commission? Let us make him Chairperson so that when he announces Sen. Olekina as President, I cannot complain, because he cannot have spoken Maasai with him. He does not know him, his home or his relatives. As we proceed to interrogate how we are going to select IEBC Commissioners, remove Mr. Chebukati and replace him with Mwendwa, or Mwikali. What is going to be different? There will be no difference; it will be the same thing; ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: We amended the law to say that the Commissioners should not involve themselves in procurement. These gentlemen and ladies in IEBC who are resigning put their hands, their feet and their everything hip deep in corruption with immediate effect. They were hip deep in the corruption at the IEBC. So, as my good friend amends this law, please interrogate what the problem is. The problem is not the form, the announcement, the voting, the Kenyan who walks in or anything else. The problems in this country begin at 5.01 p.m., the minute we close voting, and we need to address ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Today, the IEBC appeared before the Committee on Legal Affairs, and Foreign Relations. They are required, under the election management law, to audit the system within one year. What do they say? We have no money. The only thing they are avoiding is the server. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: That day when Mr. Chris Msando was to be interviewed at NTV, I was supposed to be with him in that interview. I had some information about how this system is supposed to work, and how we are supposed to inspect it. We were supposed to do a mock election in this way. People were supposed to come and vote in Parliament as a 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
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: polling station. We were to scan the form and the transmission is done, for example, at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) or the Multimedia University of Kenya (MMUK). We wanted to test it, but we never did. The former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Chiloba, procured ballot papers the way he wanted, at the Al- Ghurair Company. It was ―tenderpreneurship.‖ Our election is the most expensive in the world; it costs USD38 per voter. I wonder why we need to register more voters, because this country will go bankrupt during elections unless we bring in the Chinese. Everybody that is ... view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A technical issue should be sorted on the machines. Members are asking or wondering, that now that we will propose some amendments---. I thought the Chairman should have led the Chamber to understand that at the Second Reading, although, we are proposing changes and we are objecting to the deductions, there should be a passing of the Second Reading with our objections and then, we amend at Third Reading. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill with the proposals that were made in the Committee on Finance and Budget, that several changes must be made in order for this Bill to truly reflect the wishes of devolution. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: According to Article 218, the national Treasury is supposed to give reasons why the deviations from the recommendations by the CRA, which should be considered because there is no explanation for reducing the allocation to the counties by Kshs9 billion. However, it is fair to inform the Plenary that somebody from the national Treasury attempted to give a reason which was not in writing and we did not take it. They said that the country has been getting deficits for the past seven years and, therefore, the Kshs9 billion is the overall deficit. view
