• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. Jubilee has adopted the principle of hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil. There is a pretense that we have no regulations on backup. The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights under Section 45(5) has developed regulations on backup. So, the question of backup with the manual or otherwise is a creation and propaganda. I will just read one of them. Clause 25(c) proposes as follows:- “Maintain such physical documentation records to enable reconstruction of the information in the event of data loss during transmission or disaster”. ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ignore Sen. Sang, because the gentleman does not inspire my intellect. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the third point is that--- view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the technology business is an attempt by Jubilee to hide a clause, so that they can dip into the public coffers for purposes of nominations, yet the Constitution is clear that we shall pass laws that will restrict the use of public resources for political parties. While we are concentrating on the real things, Jubilee is preparing to have another ‘tenderpreneurship’ on elections. Fourth, we have a technical committee already in place under these rules, which includes the Attorney-General who has disappointed all of us who looked up to him. He should have advised the Independent ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 4 of the Bill be amended by deleting paragraph (b). Mr. Chairman, Sir, the said paragraph does not exist in the Elections Act and was put there inadvertently. view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 16. Mr. Chairman, Sir, Clause 16 of the amendment reads as follows:- “For the purpose of providing efficient and effective conduct of elections, the number of voters per polling station shall not exceed 700.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 18. The amendment to Clause 18 is the one that introduces amendments to Section 44 of the Elections Act by deleting the timelines from eight months to 120 days for purposes of procurement. The advice we have is that if you allow procurement to be done four months to the general elections, you will have the same problem like in 2013. Mr. Chairman, Sir, secondly, this was part of the political settlement that was agreed and signed into law by His Excellency the President. Thank ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by deleting clause 19. Mr. Chairman, Sir, from the Memorandum we have received, Section 44(a) is unnecessary because it is an amendment to the political settlement. It is also superfluous and a contradiction in law where you use the word “complementary”. “Complementary” is pairing, “notwithstanding” negative. That Clause is in conflict with Section 44. We have introduced a monster in this law view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 23. We raised this at the Committee; that the Joint Select Committee amended the election offences in their entirety. To that extent, therefore, there are no offences in the new Election Act. By accident, inadvertently, by mistake or deliberately, the National Assembly passed an amendment of Section 56 of the Elections Act that does not exist. As a consequence, when you have amendment No.37 of 2017, by the time the President signs this in to law he has no way of removing it. It will ... view
• 5 Jan 2017 in Senate: .: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 28. Anybody who has the elections Act, if you turn to the Third Schedule and look at what we are proposing to insert; it is already in the law. So, once again, we have something called an editing error in a Bill we are going to pass. There is even a risk that the President is going to sign a memorandum because we are going to put him in such an awkward position to sign something that is already in the Act. Therefore, I ... view
