• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a matter that is giving many people concern is the completion of the boundaries review. I want to suggest to everybody to relax and read this Bill very carefully. The first significant test of the new commission will be the resolution of issues arising from the Report of the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC). The Report attracted significant attention and consideration by the House. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs prepared a report which was adopted by Parliament. That is history and is accepted. The Report formed the basis of Schedule 5 of the ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, the final Bill while maintaining the spirit of the Committee report revises the language to cure the potential vulnerability with the Constitution. The Bill maintains the requirement that the IIBRC Report shall form the basis of the review and would be the primary document. It also provides that the commission shall publish its report and will consult all the stakeholders prior to the publication of its report. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: The Bill has been developed through very large participation of stakeholders, including the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) as well as members of the now retired IIBRC and other stakeholders. On 9th March, 2011, I presented the Bill to the Attorney-General and the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC). After internal review and conducting its stakeholder consultations, the CIC submitted its recommendations on the Bill to the Attorney-General and myself on 21st March, 2011. The Bill was also considered by the Cabinet on 4th April, 2011 and arising from its approval, I published it on 7th April, 2011. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me in conclusion to say, again without fear that the new electoral framework would not be business as usual. The Constitution expands the functions of the electoral management body. The Bill will add meat to that mandate. The Constitution among other things merges the electoral and boundaries mandate to which review is also faithful. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the first general election under our Constitution will require – I emphasize this to hon. Members – at least eight different elections on the same date, the filling of proportional representation seats and the possibility of a presidential rerun ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do so because, I have kept on saying there is no property in this law. The only property is to produce a law that moves Kenya forward. I table it so that the House can look at what the CIC says. If you find you want to say something, I will not step in your way to block their recommendations. May God bless you. With those far too many remarks, I beg to move. My learned friend, hon. Orengo, has kindly agreed to second. There is a huge list of people who wanted to second this ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a covering letter also. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I truly appreciate that, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When I spoke to Mr. Charles Nyachae, the hon. Chairman of this Commission this morning – I had not received the letter myself – he offered to fax it to my office. You may not find signatures on that letter, but the Clerk of the National Assembly will confirm that he has in his possession the signed copies of both the letter and the recommendations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, kindly, allow the admission of it after you do your thorough homework as usual. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I will make sure that such a letter and a document with signatures is available. view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Member, very respected and a good friend of mine, in order to point at me when she is making such disparaging remarks? view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I only know of hon. Njuguna. Mr. Maina has spoken enough. view
