• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the amendment. It will make it easy for political parties to operate. view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: THAT, Rule 6 be amended by deleting the words "fourteen days" and substituting therefor the words "thirty days". view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: 2298 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 31, 2007 view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: THAT, Rule 7 be amended by adding the proviso at the end of the second (d), to read as follows:- "Provided if for historical reasons the names resemble, the name shall be allowed." view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support that amendment. For those hon. Members who may not have understood, all it means is that, because of historical reasons, you may find that you already have a number of political parties which exist but their names resemble each other. I think the Mover gave the example of FORD(K) and FORD(P), NARC and NARC(K), and ODM and ODM(K). We are, therefore, adding this proviso, so that the Registrar of Political Parties does not refuse to register a political party just because its name is almost similar to that of another political party, for ... view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just for the sake of hon. Members who might not have been here, the intention of that amendment is to make it easy for a political party to decide what amounts to a branch. Some political parties have a constituency as the branch, while others use the central Government district. So, by saying "branch or constituency" then you make it easy for a political party to decide what their branch should be. view
• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I support this amendment, I would also like to move an amendment to Rule No.27. Again, it is on the same basis that we leave it to the party to decide whether they want a branch in their constituency or a central government and, therefore, I propose that in the last sentence the words "district branch" should read "district/constituency branch". This is so that they are all in alignment with the previous amendments. I beg to move that amendment. view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas it is the right of every hon. Member to ask any question, but this is a war between East African Breweries and Coca Cola. Is it in order for hon. Members to side with one of the companies? Is it in order? view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry does not intend to gazette new local authorities in line with the new July 30, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2185 districts. Unlike districts which are created purposely for administration, local authorities are mandated by law to provide services and, hence, their creation should be based on their abilities to provide the said services, for example, public health, water and sanitation. The creation of more county councils will result in the fragmentation of the council resources into multiple unviable physical jurisdictions with high administrative costs. County councils in the past ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have explained, we are now undertaking this exercise. It is not because we do not want to create them. In fact, as the Assistant Minister, I am empowered to create or even abolish any local authority. However, there is no point of creating a local authority if it cannot even pay the salaries for its staff, collect garbage or plan for its land. We are looking into all the districts that have been created. At the moment we have four types of authorities; one City Council, 45 Municipal Councils, 67 County Councils and ... view
