• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief and right from the beginning say that I also want to support this Bill and congratulate the Attorney-General for bringing it here. However, Mr. Attorney-General, let me just assure you that there has been a lot of exchanges about seniors and so on but you know in the Bible it is said: ‘The last shall be first and the first shall be last.” Although you entered the Cabinet much more recently than most of us, you are first in the sense that there is only one Attorney-General in the Republic ... view

• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support hon. Koech fully, one, because we are still in a transition. When this issue of registration of political parties was really heating, I did indicate to the Registrar of Political Parties that as the Secretary General of ODM, I was going to storm her office and tell her that her office is not working properly, because her records were greatly at variance with the records of political parties. We discussed it and the Registrar said that amending that law, the way hon. Midiwo is doing, is the best because she knows that ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, secondly, when it comes to identity cards, the best of all worlds would be that when you go to register as a voter, there is also registration to get an identity card if you do not have one. This is because this is a technological age. It is not the mistake of Kenyans that the Government itself has not come of age in terms of technology, so that you, first, have to get your waiting card and then the identity card comes from Nairobi before you go and register. The whole thing is tedious nonsense. Therefore, ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, I think that it is upon the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to ensure that the voting process is properly done. You do not do it by disenfranchising Kenyans over 18 years old. You do it by giving franchise to all these Kenyans and making sure that the system that exists is used for equity and justice and not for discrimination and punishment. Therefore, these two amendments are very important, timely and accepted. I would like to appeal to the House that we pass the amendments and after the next elections, the institution in ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to add my voice to those of my two colleagues who have just spoken on this Bill. I support the amendment very strongly. First, the Public Service Commission has nothing to do with the political parties’ office. The political parties’ office should be established in a process that involves those who are directly affected by elections, the key players, and that is political parties. Political parties are respresented in this House by Members of Parliament sponsored to this House by the political parties. The select committee which will play a key role in this ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Therefore, the amendment that was smuggled into the Statute Law (Miscellaneous amendment) Bill by the chief lawmaker in this country was not only inappropriate but contrary to the wishes and desires of those who participate in politics in this House representing the people of Kenya and, therefore, those who look for an institution that will most capably and responsibly exercise that power. I beg to support. view
