18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this. I wish to join my colleagues in supporting and approving the appointment of Dr. Lydia Nzomo to the position of the chairperson of the TSC. She is a lady who has shown a very well decorated curriculum vitae and remarkable achievement in her career. Indeed, it will be an honour to Kenyans that we get an opportunity to be served by this devoted Kenyan. What has interested me most in Dr. Nzomo is the very serious agenda that she has for the TSC. It is very clear ...

18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to, first, give my sympathy to the party that nominated hon. Mwaura. That party nominated him to come to this House to protect the interests of marginalised groups. It is very shameful that he is doing the contrary. However, because of his history of the “men-in-black” incident at Kasarani, this House can forgive him.

18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
The problem that the women in Kenya have is bigger than what we are discussing here. I agree with hon. Jakoyo Midiwo that serious amendments to the existing legislation must be brought to this House. Women’s interests have not been taken seriously. Women in the country today continue to suffer as a result of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) even though an anti- FGM law has been enacted by this House. Knives continue doing the round, and women are suffering. Women continue to suffer as they use the public transport system – in matatus. Even those women whose rights are anchored ...

In the last Parliament, I was one of the Members who insisted that the Deputy Inspector- General of Police be a woman. I do not know what Grace Kaindi is doing for the women of Kenya. She got that position on the basis of the law that we passed here to make sure that if policemen fail to arrest those who violate the rights women, one of their own ensures that such perpetrators are brought to book. I do not know why people are blaming Kimaiyo. They should also blame Grace Kaindi.

18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Let us say that Kimaiyo did what we are accusing him of. What happens to his deputy? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the right to dress is fundamental. Family and religious values are acquired at the family level. We should not blame women for the way they dress. We had better blame their parents and the religious leaders of this country. There is a serious issue that the religious community of our community and the security people must deal with.

18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the Leader of Majority Party, I want to say that we will bring serious amendments to the existing laws to protect the women of Kenya. Protection of women cannot effectively be done through street demonstrations and Motions for Adjournment. We must legislate to protect our mothers, daughters and sisters.
