• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I think hon. C. Kilonzo has raised a very serious matter. This House must be responsible to this nation. This House should not pass laws in its own interest. We should pass laws for the sake of posterity. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are moving from county councils now, which are smaller institutions, to county governments. If we are going to have a governor with high qualifications and with some of the councillors as you know them today, we will not have proper county governments. view

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would really need some guidance in this House. This is because if you look at the amendments by Dr. Nuh, they go through almost the whole Act.

All these reasons that Members have given about owning parties and what not will not even be affected by reducing this thing to two months. All those variables you have mentioned will stay the same.

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to put this matter to rest and support all those who have opposed it. Let me read Article 85 of the Constitution on eligibility to stand as an independent candidate.
