• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Bill.

• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to various contributions by Members, it is very clear that there is urgent need to undertake serious reforms in our electoral processes. In our country today, I would say this is reform time.

In the Judiciary, reforms have been initiated and today, we are able to see, as Kenyans, interviews being conducted live on television. You saw what happened during the interviews for the Chief ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have serious grounds and justification to advocate for reforms in the electoral system. In 2007/2008, we faced a serious challenge in our country. We had the post-election violence and to a large extent, we know that arose as a result of the manner in which the elections were conducted, how the results were announced and so on. Therefore, we need to look beyond and come up with reforms in the electoral system. Therefore, as a Ministry, country and Government, we are supporting this Motion. Shortly, we are going to table a Bill on election ... view
• 25 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in India, for example--- That is a country with a population of over a billion people. They are able to undertake elections of over 700 million registered voters within a span of two days. That is for members of parliament, governors and senators. You can imagine that population and the time taken to accomplish that process. It means it is possible because they have electronic system of elections. That will be one of the issues we are going to raise when we bring to this House the Bill on elections. view
