• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my amendment in (b) is actually addressing sub-clause 3 of 31 which deals with independent candidates. It does not deal with political parties. I have already amended sub-clause 3 in (1) by saying a political party may appoint one agent for its candidates at each polling station. Sub-clause 2 is to be deleted. If it does not appear, I would like to amend my amendment to say so. My proposal is that Clause 31(2) be deleted and we only leave the other one. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I hope Dr. Nuh’ does not go away. I have not amended the clause that Dr. Nuh is amending if you look at page 2801. I will welcome it if he is to insist on it. In fact, that is why I did not propose this amendment because a candidate nominated by a political party may appoint an agent of the candidate’s choice to replace Clause 31(2) which was saying that a candidate nominated by a political party shall not appoint his or her own agent. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it concerns me that in efforts to amend this Bill, we are forgetting that Article 92 of the Constitution requires that: “Parliament shall enact legislation to provide for (c) the regulation of political parties”. The more we continue diluting that requirement, the more the law will fail the test of this. Hon. Karua is right. This Article is not relating to nomination of candidates. It is relating to that party list that you must supply to the Registrar in advance, so that you are not changing at whim, merely because you have secured M. Kilonzo to ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 37 of the Bill be amended in Subclause (1)(f) by deleting words “the youth and four of whom the youth” appearing immediately after the word “and” and substituting therefor the words “four of whom shall be the youth”. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, “the youth and four of whom” is purely a typing error. There was serious typing mistake because it says, “and the youth and four of whom the youth” --- I am sorry about this. I apologize. So, we are just correcting. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: ( Question, that the words to be inserted in place thereof, view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 44 of the Bill be amended in Subclause (1)(a) by deleting the words “independent or” and substituting therefor the words “or a” view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: This amendment is pretty straightforward. It is, again a correction. Subclause 1(a) says that a public officer shall not engage in the activities of any political party or candidate or act as an agent of a political party, independent or a candidate in an election. So, we want to remove the words “independent or” and change it to “or a”. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the import of it is that by “public officers”, we are thinking of civil servants. We are not thinking of straight officers as such. It is, therefore, a method of ensuring that civil servants do not interfere with political party affairs. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, could I persuade my good friend before he submits that amendment that if you make provisions in this clause that on the face of it appear to make it impossible for his voters to recall him, he is defeating the Constitution itself. Ms. Karua is dead right. Let us tread very carefully. The procedure that allows the voters to go and get the court order and the proposals that eliminate your opponent from being petitioners are adequate and 30 per cent is reasonable. view
