• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: These are the areas which we feel, in the Third Reading, we will make recommendations in terms of amending those sections. Apart from that clause we found the others in order. In view of this, we recommend that this House approves Clauses 1, 2,3,4,6 and 7 of the Bill as passed by the Senate because we did not have a problem. We will move amendments on Clause 5(3), (4) and (5) during the Third Read of this Bill. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I would like to thank the Members of my Committee because we took time to study this and realised it is a law that is coming at the right time. We are still improving the devolution system in our counties. Recently, we passed a law on the County Attorneys and there are still very many areas which both the Senate and this House need to help, so that our county assemblies can function effectively the way this House functions. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I move and request my colleague, Hon. Kioni, Chair CIOC to second. Thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to start by thanking my learned colleague the Chair of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) for the wonderful job he has done. The truth of the matter is that this House has laboured for a long time on how to fulfil the provisions of Article 81 of the Constitution. Several Bills have been brought before the House, but they have been defeated by the same House because they did not receive support. The route now taken by the Committee is, in my view, the solution to the challenge that the ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: “Every political party participating in an election shall, during party nomination, ensure that, at least, one third of its nominees for parliamentary and county assembly elections are of either gender” view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The political parties are critical in the election process in our country. They are actually the institutions we use to cause the process of elections in nominating members in the political parties. So, it is for this House to facilitate so that a political party is mandated in law to ensure that during the nomination process – not during the election – that one-third of the nominees for parliamentary and county assembly elections are of either gender. The process begins from there so that out of the number of nominated members, we are able to, at least, ensure that not ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Clause 17(b) says: “five per cent of the nominees for parliamentary and county assembly elections are persons with disabilities.” If you look at the gender issue, the person with disabilities is actually in Article 100(b) of the Constitution. The others are youth, ethnic and marginalised groups. Therefore, I support that particular issue. Clause 4 of the Bill says: view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: “Section 2(1) of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Act 2011 is amended by inserting the following definition in proper alphabetical sequence.” It goes ahead to give what is in Article 100. Clause 5 says: “Section 4 of the IEBC Act 2011 is amended in paragraph (a) by inserting the words ‘and disaggregation of the data and voters roll on the basis of all categories of special interest groups’ immediately after the word ‘voters’” How then do we isolate those special groups, whether marginalised groups or people with disabilities? In Baringo, we have a very small group called Elchamus. In a ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to lay the Report of the Committee on its consideration of the Petition on the County Assembly (Procedure) Bill (Bill No.22 of 2018). Thank you. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Once again, this House is calling upon you to make a determination on a very important issue. I have no doubt in my mind that you will finally guide this House in the right direction as you have always done. As you consider the issue, refer to Article 152(2) which states that the President shall nominate, and with approval of the National Assembly, appoint CSs. A whole chapter is dedicated to the functions of the Cabinet. I also refer you to Article 234 of the Constitution, which you have just mentioned, that the functions and powers ... view
