• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can consider to ask the Commission to make public the fact that those other requirements that people are raising are not necessary. When we talk of a register of members of political parties, any other Kenyan who is not a registered member of a political party is not a member of a political party. The Registrar of Political Parties maintains a register of all members of political parties. So, at the time of presentation of the papers, it will be so clear from the record of Registrar of Political Parties that the people presented ... view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think that an independent candidate will just go somewhere and pick people. These are people who have agreed to support the independent candidate in his application. These are people the candidate should rely on. They should be truthful to him and assure him that they are not members of a political party. I also believe that the Registrar will satisfy herself at that time that those members presented by an independent candidate are not members of a political party. So, it is not too difficult to achieve that position at the time ... view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I answered the Question as raised by Dr. Nuh. Those provisions are spelt out in the law. The Member is a close friend of mine and I can still engage and share with him those qualifications. view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is okay. I do not want to anticipate debate, but let me confirm to my colleague that I can take up that issue and ensure that the Commission, through appropriate communication, passes this information to the public for them to know. view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that on Tuesday this Question came up and you directed that I issue a Ministerial Statement today to deal with the issues raised by hon. Members. The issues that were raised by hon. Members are such that we wish that we get the Commission to come forward so that hon. Members can engage them and discuss those issues. The issue of voter registration is a very serious matter for our nation. Looking at today’s numbers, it is far much below the requisite package. Therefore, we have consulted and my request to the ... view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: on Thursday so that we can have the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) come forward so that all the issues of concern are addressed. view
• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: There is the issue of extension of time which is being sought by hon. Members and the public is also asking for the same and so on. We realize that we may not be able to adequately address all the issues raised by hon. Members through a Ministerial Statement because there are others which can be articulated well by the officials of the IEBC. It is our responsibility as a country to ensure that these leaders get time to ask questions which will be answered by the Commission. This will enable them make decisions as leaders of this country. It ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the HANSARD is very clear. Dr. Nuh’s Question was No.3 on the Order Paper on Tuesday. When it was called out, the Chair then directed that since Dr. Nuh was present in the House the Question was to be deferred to today. But it is not on the Order Paper. Then, thereafter the Question by my other colleague came up. I think it was No.4 on the Order Paper and it was also deferred to today. They were dealt with separately. They were not combined. It is so clear even in the HANSARD. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are indeed a number of issues. I will combine some because they are related. Mr. Njuguna spoke about the apathy of our Kenyan people not being prepared to go and register. That is an issue we need to address all of us. As a Ministry, we have called people to register. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has also done the same. Even the Head of State has called upon all Kenyans to come forward and register. We just want to say that as a Ministry, we will continue to call upon Kenyans ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is exactly what I was responding to. I said that it is not possible for us to reconfigure the equipment for the reasons I have said. We are avoiding importation of voters. Secondly, I talked about the additional1,500 equipment which have been deployed to certain areas where we have the challenge of distance. That is why I am here to answer you. view
