• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I stand here to support the amendments as they are in the Bill. These amendments in effect, will enable the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report to be presented to this House, to have it debated and also implemented. For sections that will not be implemented, the Minister concerned will be able to Report to this House and let us know why they will not have been implemented. This is good because as the people’s representatives, we will hold everybody accountable. In that Report, we know the ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: been addressed adequately, and we have even had displacement of people through either fighting over resources and fighting over cattle rustling. When it comes to other areas, like the area where I come from, the county of Trans-Nzoia, the Sabaot community was displaced by the white settlers in 1930s and some were sent all the way to Uganda. Up to today, they have not received any compensation. We have had brothers who moved in later on as colonial workers and they have settled there. We want to look at this Report and see that--- You know currently you might find ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to my friend, hon. Anami, it appears that we are repeating the same issues. So, I request that the Mover be called upon to reply. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to take the same position as hon. Sakaja, in that as we make this law, we should be able to compel the IEBC to state under which law they are able to request what they are requesting. This is because they are made up of lawyers and whenever we have appeals, they set up their own tribunal and they are able to prosecute our appeals; we have seen many cases before that have happened like that. It is good for them to give us the clear laws under which they operate. So ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wanted us to recommit Clause 9 on the independent candidate. There are some amendments which we brought concerning the other political candidates in Clause 8. However, we did not consider the independent candidates. We must also make the amendments to be uniform. The law should apply uniformly, whether you are an independent candidate or a political party sponsored candidate. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would take a more neutral position. I have heard what hon. Sakaja is saying that if at one stage you need to present your budget so that the party can support you, you can do so. If I am going to spend a few days to work and prepare a budget that I present to the party, then I shall make sure that the party is able to honour it. We can put it in law to make the party honour that expenditure report, so that where there are deficits, they must be able ... view

• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose that amendment because when you look at the other sections; we are talking about people declaring whatever they have received. Should we not have a remedy to that which we can put? In subclause (3), we are saying that, if you do not do this then you have committed an offence. Just saying that you have committed an offence is not enough; we should move a step further and even disqualify the candidate. I do not think that we should be so much lenient. I think we are doing these ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think I want to support the Chair with the amendment because what the statement is saying is: “open an expenditure account into which contributions shall be deposited in the case of one, a candidate or a political party committee.” In here they are saying three months and they are amending it to eight months before the polling day. If you open it early enough candidates know that you are going into campaigns. So, opening it early enough gives you enough time to prepare. If you are limiting to within three months before the elections, then ... view
