CONSTITUTION OF KENYA REVIEW ... - ConstitutionNet

42
we have put it in the constitution we still need to work out the details to make sure that you know that those two powers do not
compete among themselves, that is an area we need to work out in details much more.
The 90 seats should not be there, I explained ndiu kana ni ugukite. These 90 seats are not nomination and I hope we can
understand ati uria ndirageria kuuga ati political parties, if you can remember uria kwari kuru when we had one party system.
Aria mari agima hindi iyo, I know you remember when you had no where to go. Ona ukiaria ukamba kwihugura ona wi
mukawani ikirora niu ucio urathikiriria. Ugakoragwo waku mucii ukeragwo ni uroigire undu na nduri na gwaguthii, hindio
thirikari na parliament na kiama they are one isn’t it But since 1991 since the multi party system, there are many things that
would not have happened if we did not have a multi-party state.
One of the things that the constitution thought that it was necessary to do is to make sure that we have these checks and
balances, that we never get a time when we have one party any more, although some people were saying kaba tucoke kiama
kimwi. That you are pomoting parties so that they become vehicles for democracy, nigetha igacheck on each other. Even the
competition itself is healthy. Tariu NAC is feeling accountable to the people, so is KANU so that is the kind of party we are
looking for this is what we want to do for this nation, tukwenda guika una na guika una. If it was one party there is no
competition they don’t have to feel accountable.
So the 90 seats, is to make sure that the party is being rewarded because of the number of voters, that have given them votes.
I hope we understand. Like if we put the opposition votes together in 1997 (interruption) Ngugaga atiriri, kuma 1997 ri korwo
ni watukanirie votes cia opposition na utukanie votes cia KANU, nimungionire ati cia opposition ngwiciria ciari nyingi… End of
3A cont… ciama icio ri matuike represented ni mekuona andu akumarugamirira nacio mirongo itatu ingiathire kuri KANU.
Uguo gukuringana na kiama ri kiaheo kura cigana ni andu. Nitwaunderstand hau Uguo ni ya kugeria ku balance tondu iria
tukoretwo nayo itagwo majoritarian type of ruling ino ya one constituency one vote. Na argument ni ati when you don’t have
the mixed member proportional representation, votes nyingi ni ciuraga. Tondu tariu aria ma-votire opposiion, I mean in terms of
uria watonya na uria wa loose, andu acio makoragwo matigitwo ta matari na andu. No riu ona twatukania ino ya majoratrian na
ino ingi ya kuhe votes to the party gwi kiama kiria kiri na votes nyingi ni tukugeria ku balance representation. Gitu, no explain
may be a little more na gikuyu
Hon. Gitu: Aroiga atiriri, tugithii elections ri, tuguthii ku-elect members of parliament oruia tuthuraga. Ni tuge taguku kuri
mundu urenda ku-electwo na kiama gia KANU na uria ungi na kiama kia DP na kia NAC, kana uria ungi na kia Ford People,
makorwo mari andu atatu. Mutigugithura mundu uria mukwenda Now, at the same time ni hegukorwo na list ya political
parties, iria iri thiini wa that constituency, ni tuge ta KANU, Rainbow alliance, NAC and so forth. Warikia kuoya mundu waku
wa Gatanga ri, ucoke ohau ni ukuvote the party irio urenda. Now, makoiga atiri, thiini wa votes icio ikioyo ri, mundu uria
ukugia na vote nyingi ni atuika Member of Parliament, no ni megucoka makarora ni party iriku yuma na vote nyingi thiini wa
Gatanga iria igukorwo na nyingi na iria igukorwo na whatever.
