• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, elected leaders of this country had a chance to give an input to these regulations. I would like to say that if we had not concluded these regulations, we would have had a very serious challenge as we prepare for the coming elections. This is because the various Acts - the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act - required the IEBC to formulate these regulations and this House to approve them four months before the next elections. I know that today is 5th of April and that is within the timeframe the law requires us to pass these ... view

We have been saying that we want this country to have credible, fair and transparent elections. This can only be done if we start with political parties. These regulations will bring about discipline, order and procedures for political parties to follow during their nominations. Unfortunately, parties like ODM, I am told, are doing theirs this week or next week. That is few days after the passage of these regulations. The regulations are not just meant for these nominations but rather ... view
