• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Let me take this opportunity to speak on the President’s Speech. At the outset, I wish to state that I support it. First and foremost, let me talk about the handshake that my colleagues have all spoken about and I want to say that I support and I want to appreciate the two leaders for making this bold move of building bridges. You are aware, as much as I am that from that time what we can see even in this House is peace and tranquility. Recently, I went to my bank and my bank manager made a very interesting ... view

• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would like to speak on corruption, a matter that was touched in the Speech. We are talking about mindboggling figures. It has never been like this in this country. For the first time, Kshs10 million is looking like Kshs100 and it is most unfortunate. I want to appreciate the leadership of this country for taking that bold move to confront this menace. I also support the action that has been taken of taking all those suspected to court at this moment. I also support the move of asking those holding positions of leadership in accounts and procurement to ... view

• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Regarding gender equality, when we were talking about national values, I would like to say that in my county, we have achieved the gender parity. We have four men and four women. But as a country we are still not doing well enough. We still have a chance to reach the two- thirds gender rule that is enshrined in our Constitution. At the same time we had something to smile about today, when two ladies were appointed to State House; that is Madam Munira and Madam Kanze Dena. We want to thank and congratulate the President and the ladies for ... view

• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to speak today. As you have rightly said, my name is Eve Obara, the MP for Kabondo Kasipul. First and foremost, let me thank God for giving me an opportunity to come to Parliament. Secondly, I want to thank my constituents for electing me to be their MP. view

• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my apologies. I also want to thank my party and particularly my party leader for standing with me. In the Homa Bay County we have three women elected in the single constituency. Let me thank him for the space he created and made it possible for us to stand and eventually win the seats. I proudly stand here today to say that Homa Bay County has a representation of 50-50. Including the County Women Representatives we have four female MPs and four male MPs. Most likely, we are the only county with that kind ... view
• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As I stand here, I want to make reference to the handshake. I do not want to take the bold step made by our two leaders to reconcile this country for granted and I thank and appreciate them. As we sit here in Parliament, I think we all agree that the handshake has made a big difference in this House. The temperatures have been lowered, the environment is friendlier and we are all working together as a team. Let us thank the two leaders most sincerely for this act of selflessness. Let me go back to my constituency and make ... view
