The campaign financing provisions are all functions of the IEBC and there is a lot of detail around what this Commission can do as relates to election campaigns.

• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In the first instance, the IEBC is required to give a warning and, in the second instance, to give an assumption. It is only in the third and repetitive instance can they go into a more draconian penalty of removing a candidate from participating in campaigns. But in the first instance, the penalty is really a notice to candidates to comply; and those referendum committees are required to be given notice to comply with the requirements of this law. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Part VII contains miscellaneous provisions and this Bill does not concern county Governments. It is national Government matters in terms of elections and the IEBC. The enactment of this Bill will not occasion additional expenditure from the Exchequer.

• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am the hon. Member for Nyeri County not Nyeri Town. Hon. Murugi is the Member of Parliament for Nyeri Town. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak on this Motion and to support what hon. Jamleck Kamau has brought to the Floor of this House.

Who exactly are they supposed to entertain? This is a country that has no money. This is a country that needs pen and paper to write important and quick things. To beautify our offices with flowers or large bouquets every day, live large and fly First Class--- The more ... view
