Acp-Eu Joint Parliamentary Assembly ACP-EU JOINT PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY _________________________________ ______________________________ PRESS RELEASE OBSERVER MISSION TO KENYAN ELECTIONS On the invitation of the Government of the Republic of Kenya, the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) observed the Presidential, National Assembly, and Civic Elections in Kenya, which took place on Friday, 27 December 2002. The Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) is one of the joint institutions established under the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, which was signed in Cotonou, Benin on 23 June 2000. The JPA is composed of members of National Parliaments and Assembly’s of the 15 European Union (EU) Member States and the 78 States of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group. The ACP-EU JPA Observer Mission arrived in Kenya on 22 December 2002 and is co-lead by Beatrice Kiraso (MP- Uganda) and Fodé Sylla (MEP – France). Other members of the Observer Mission are Henry Zembere (MP – Malawi), Nelly Maes (MEP – Belgium) and Abdallah Mohamed Badri (Member of the National Assembly – Sudan). The ACP-EU JPA Observer Mission worked in close cooperation with the European Union Election Observer Mission in Kenya (EUEOM) and the independent European Parliament (EP) Observer Team. The main objective of the ACP-EU JPA Observer Mission was to observe the voting process with particular reference to compliance with technical procedures established to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process. To this end, the Observer Mission focussed its attention on specific issues assessed essential in maintaining overall freedom and fairness of the voting process and the environment. The Observer Mission was deployed in the Naivasha Constituency (Rift Valley) and observed the opening of the polling stations, polling process, closing of polling stations, counting of ballots, and the tallying process. The Observer Mission did not observe any malpractices and/or major irregularities during the voting process and procedures followed in the Naivasha Constituency on 27 December 2002. One of the more notable features of the Elections as observed was the friendly and peaceful atmosphere that was evident amongst voters. In the Naivasha Constituency the organised manner and efficient conduct of Election and Party Officials are commended, and we would like to call upon the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) to further improve the electoral process. _____________________________________________________________________________ B-1047 BRUXELLES ■ TÉL: 32/2.284.60.60 ■ FAX: 32/2.284.90.67 F-67070 STRASBOURG ■ TÉL: 33/3.88.17.60.60 ■ FAX: 32/3.88.17.99.75 At the dawn of a new era in Kenya, and after these historic Elections where the people of Kenya have exercised their democratic right, the ACP-EU JPA would like to express its continued support to the people and Government of Kenya. The further strengthening of democracy, including good governance, rule of law and human rights should ensure that Kenya would further prosper and develop, and indeed also contribute to the renaissance of the African continent. Done in Nairobi, 28 December 2002. _____________________________________________________________________________ B-1047 BRUXELLES ■ TÉL: 32/2.284.60.60 ■ FAX: 32/2.284.90.67 F-67070 STRASBOURG ■ TÉL: 33/3.88.17.60.60 ■ FAX: 32/3.88.17.99.75.

  • National Assembly
    September 14, 2017 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OFFICIAL REPORT Thursday, 14th September 2017 The House met at 2.30 p.m. [The Speaker (Hon. Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS Hon. Speaker: I will make the communication a little later when we have more Members. PETITION IRREGULAR ACQUISITION OF VIPINGO COMMUNITY LAND Hon. Speaker: Order Members! Hon. Members, this is Petition No.01 of 2017. Standing Order No.225 (2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition other than those presented through a Member. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office has received a Petition signed by one Messrs. David Munga Mwadende of ID No.8463168 and James Kalenga Muganga of ID No.5012765, on behalf of the indigenous people of Vipingo Lands Community in Kilifi County. The Petitioners aver that during the colonial era in 1913, the Government took over their ancestral land for public use with the assurance of resettling and compensating them, but this never happened. Further, upon expiry of the leases, the land was transferred to private owners under unclear circumstances instead of reverting back to the Kilifi residents. This state of affairs has rendered them as squatters to date. The Petitioners further contend that even with successive Governments coming into power, efforts to reclaim their ancestral lands through the National Land Commission (NLC) and State Department of Lands have been futile. This, according to them, is a contravention of Article 60(1)(b) of the Constitution which recognises and upholds the principle of security of land rights.
