• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Junet, who has not been seen in the House for a long time, claims that I am addressing the Speaker privately. It is not true. I am addressing the Speaker in public. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is a precedent in this House where it is alleged that some Member sold signatures for other Members. I do not want to be accused of that. I still want to maintain integrity. I would just request for whatever decision of the Procedure and House Rules Committee to be brought to the House so that we know that the matter was considered by your Committee, Hon. Speaker. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the import of this amendment is to establish a Special Election Fund which will assist women vying for positions as Members of Parliament. The argument that has been put forward many times is that women do not have money to campaign. We are saying that in the unlikely event that Hon. Duale’s Bill fails, this will be the fall back position to allow women to be funded so that they can compete with men. We are of the opinion that the Registrar of Political Parties establishes a Fund to assist women to campaign and compete with ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I get very worried when Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo accuses the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party of some unseen forces. What the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party is raising is from Section 31 of the Political Parties Act. This has nothing to do with witchcraft. This is pure law. Knowing where he comes from, I know there could be some issues to deal with that. However, this is purely on a point of law. Section 31 of the Act states:- “The accounts of every political party shall be audited annually by the Auditor-General and shall ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Those audited accounts have been tabled before and no committee has examined them. PAC has tabled its Report in which the Division of Revenue Bill has been used as a basis to divide the revenue between the national Government and the county governments. Therefore, if PAC has been tabling a Report that does not contain part of the revenues that have been used by one segment of the society, then the usage of the latest revenue collected by Government has been erroneous because it has not been complete. So, what the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party is raising is ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Those are the issues that the Leader of the Majority Party, who is so hawk-eyed, has been seeing. I must thank him. I do not know why he is being blamed. In fact, if you drink wine as Hon. Midiwo does, we could have opened champagne for you. It should not be a cause for him to blame you for bringing very important issues to this House. It is important that we review the Standing Orders before the next elections so that the 12th Parliament will benefit from the knowledge and experiences of the Members who have travelled to various ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Men control resources; they control capital. Therefore, women must also be empowered so that they can have sufficient monies to run elective positions. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: That is not the essence of travels. The essence of travelling is to gain what we call evaluated experience. We are not seeking any experience. We are looking for evaluated experience and that is the reason we visit democracies such as the USA. As you know, there are contentious issues particularly with political parties. I do not think it is something that can be dealt with by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). This should be referred to a special committee to be chaired by Members who are appointed in a consultative manner between the Leader of the Majority Party and ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
