• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: areas that have failed in the county governments should be brought back to the national Government is not right. Health is one area that we need to bring back to the national Government. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I waited for this moment to go on record on this Bill, the Protection against Domestic Violence Bill of 2013. This Bill ideally wants to recognize domestic violence in all its forms as unacceptable behavior in society. That position I support. But in a country where we believe in the Almighty God and coming from a background of a political party that believes in family values--- All republican parties believe in family values. Domestic violence of any form should not be entertained and should be a thing of the past. This Bill talks about the interventions ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: relationships and to ensure that domestic violence does not occur. There is an effective legal framework to deal with this, and there is a relief for the victims. Hon. Speaker, if you look at Section three of this Bill - and that is where I read last night and realized that unless the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and Members of Parliament of this House brings serious amendment to this Bill, I am not going to support it in its current form. I want read what is in this Act or law and I want Members to hear me very ... view

• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am speaking for many people both inside and outside this House. I have been married for 14 years. I have a very good relationship with my in-laws. Why should this House create a law--- view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was going through what “violence” means in this Bill. It says “interference from in-laws”. This is very un-African. In the African context, you must have high regard for your in-laws. Why do you create a law to punish your mother-in-law and your father-in-law? Those are the grandparents of your children. We are talking about the father or the mother of your wife or husband. This particular provision is un-African. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: In this Bill, there is something called “widow cleansing”. I do not know what “widow cleansing” means. The Committee must do a Report to this House to explain what “widow cleansing” means. The Bill also talks about damage to property and economic abuse. So, if your husband or your wife asks for an airtime of Kshs200, and you do not have it, it becomes economic abuse. You are taken to court. view

• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I represent the great people of Garissa. I am sure that there are many other constituencies I represent on this matter, and, more so, in the Rift Valley, Luo Nyanza, North Eastern, Western and Central regions – and particular counties. How do you define “economic” abuse as a form of violence? We do not want to create laws to manage our bedrooms and sitting rooms. We have more serious issues to do with terrorism, food insecurity, the devolved system of government, among others. view
