• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 16 be deleted and replaced with the following new clauses- Sources of campaign finances 16. The sources of funds for purposes of financing party nomination, election or referendum campaign are— (a) contributions received from any person, political party or any other lawful source; (b) contributions from a lawful source, not being from a foreigner, a foreign government, a foreign intergovernmental organization or non- governmental organisation; and, (c) contributions from a harambee. Limits to contributions 16A. (1) The Commission shall, at least twelve months before a general election, by notice in ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: exceed ten percent of the total contributions received by that candidate, political party or referendum committee. (3) The Commission shall prescribe the limit beyond which contributions received by a candidate, a political party or a referendum committee from a single source may be disclosed. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this speaks to the sources of campaign finances; the sources of funds for the purposes of financing party nomination, election or referendum campaign; and contribution received from any person, political party or any other lawful source. Part (b) speaks to contribution from a lawful source not being a foreigner, a foreign government, a foreign inter-governmental organisation or a non- governmental organisation and contributions from Harambee . The Committee proposes to limit the number of persons who can contribute to the campaign of a political candidate. The reasons are that we want genuine candidates for this country. ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: should give in a campaign or a candidate’s kitty. The ceiling was finally set at 10 per cent in the proposals contained in the new proposal under Clauses 16 and 16A. With those remarks, I beg to move the amendments. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support the 20--- view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I agree with the amendment raised by the Member for Kibra about the 20 per cent. The spirit of the law is to avoid the funding of a candidate by certain wealthy individuals and then ruining the election. When you talk of 30 per cent, it means that three people can fund your entire campaign budget. At least, 20 per cent is one-fifth of whatever budget and we will also avoid contradicting another law. With regard to the amendments proposed by the hon. Member from Homa Bay that we delete “NGOs” and that we also delete, as raised by hon. ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: For now then I will speak to 16(a) and leave at twenty per cent, but I urge that we go back to 16 on the foreign issue because that is a bit contradicting. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think there was an issue to be cleaned in Clause 16. The one we have cleaned now is the New Clause 16A. However, if you look at the sources of campaign funding, they are next to each other. So, there is an issue around the foreigner, NGO and even foreign inter-governmental organisations. Given the debate by the Members, we want to limit contributions from a lawful source, not being from a foreign Government. The intention of the Committee is to stay within the Constitution, but more importantly to also limit the interference of foreign ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I beg to move:- THAT, clause 17 be amended by deleting subclause (4). On this clause, the recommendation of the Committee is to the extent of Subclause (4). The Committee proposes that Sub-clause (4) be deleted and that requires a referendum because it proposes very draconian penalties to Members and their parties, if they fail to comply with the requirements of this particular law. The proposal earlier in the Bill was that, if you fail to comply or commit any offence, at the first instance, you will get disqualified from contesting in ... view
