• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take my first few seconds to send my condolences to our neighbours, the people of Nyeri, for losing their governor, who was my personal friend. At this time of grief, we can only pray that God gives them enough peace so that they can move on. Even as we discuss this policy framework paper today, I rise to support it with a few points. First of all, when we talk about urbanisation and town management, the issue of service and security come first. We realise that by virtue of ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Therefore, as I wind up, we need to provide more resources for our roads and other infrastructural development so that our cities and towns can reflect the number of people who live there. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Coming from Murang’a, it is good that I add my voice in respect to the water we give, especially to our capital city. As I support the Mining and Minerals Policy, I hope going forward we will treat our people equally. Our people in Murang’a need to have water before they donate to the city. I support the Motion knowing too well that minerals and mining account for only one percent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). I am sure we can do better. Minerals should ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the amendments. For a start, I want to submit to this House that the issue before us is not only purely about changing our electoral laws, but also a matter of stability in our country. In many African countries and even beyond, the stability of any country is premised on how it conducts its elections and thereafter. view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I want to bring to the attention of this House that the news out there is that the former presidential candidate of the National Super Alliance has opted out. It is a good thing for our country because probably we will end up saving a lot of billions which could otherwise be spent in building roads in Kiharu and any other constituency within our Republic. One of the issues I want to point out is having the IEBC Vice-Chairperson standing up in the gap of the Chair of the IEBC. Being the body that brings forth the democracy of our ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: body that brings forth democracy in our country by way of conducting elections should set the example. view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I want to say that the change of quorum from five to three commissioners is a very good thing. This House has set an example. Where we have committees of more than 15 people, we have set the quorum of four Members. Therefore, it is a good thing. We have seen electoral commissions in other countries which have only three commissioners in total. Therefore, I believe that having a leaner team will be more efficient in terms of quorum, so that we do not have a few individuals who will hold our country back. view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I want to go back to the point of the IEBC Chair and his responsibilities being transferable. It also behoves this House to check other institutions. I want to pinpoint one institution in regard to the issue at hand, and it is the Supreme Court. I believe we should also explore a possibility where the Chief Justice who is supposed to swear in the President-elect is not able or cannot make it to do that responsibility. We should check into that, so that we can have the Deputy Chief Justice or any other Judge of the Supreme Court take up ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I find it suspicious when people start claiming out there, especially politicians from NASA, that the timing of changing the electoral laws is suspicious. In regard to 26th October, there is no way as a patient, you will go to a hospital, you are diagnosed with malaria and then you are given tablets by the doctor and told to take them after you get well. You are prescribed those tablets to feel well but not after you get well. Therefore, as we look at 26th October in terms of the presidential election, it is very good timing for our country. ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the Bill. Thank you very much. view
