26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, one, I do not know whether the Member for Magarini is a gynaecologist or if he has clients in this House. Can he substantiate his remarks that I am selfish? More so, the House wants to understand the Bill he is discussing. That was my problem. He is talking about figures. He is talking about his own Bill. The Bill before us is not about 90 seats or reducing the number of seats in the Constitution to 210. That is not the Bill of Hon. Chepkong’a. More so, let him say whether I am selfish. The only woman ...

Hon. Speaker, as I second, I want to go on record before the great women of this House and the ones outside that our intention and spirit for the attainment of the two-thirds gender rule has not changed. In my community, you change gears when you are faced with a serious matter.

You change gears. Basically, this House was driving along the Thika Superhighway and we were about to crash. We came back to Nairobi. We have now modelled the vehicle and we want to move and reach our destination. How do we reach our destination? This is a very long history. Hon. Speaker, my colleagues who were in the last Parliament will agree with me that the new Constitution 2010 under Article 27(8) provides that the State and Parliament are under obligation to put in place legislative measures to implement the principle that not more than two- thirds of members of ...

candid to ourselves. Has the Executive and the Judiciary implemented the two-thirds gender rule? Someone needs to tell us where they have done that. I can say without fear of contradiction that they have not. The Supreme Court does not reflect gender proportions. Another person will be appointed tomorrow to the position that is remaining in the Supreme Court. In my community, the person who has a hump sleeps better than those without one. He or she knows how to sleep better. In life, you live the way God has destined. This matter could not be resolved in the 10th ...

25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Nyokabi comes from Nyeri. The little I have heard about ladies from Nyeri is that they are not like the ladies from my county. They are dangerous. So, Hon. Speaker, protect me. She can jump from there. We went in circles and talked about how good our mothers, wives, sisters and the women of Kenya are. We tried to speak in all languages to convince the House. We also spoke in our mother tongues outside this Chamber. Ultimately we are back to square one. The only hope we have under the Hon. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice ...

25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Millie Odhiambo is a unique Member of Parliament in terms of how she navigated as the only woman Member of Parliament. This is a story for another day. She is not an ordinary person; she is a serious female politician. This Bill is progressive. It is making political parties have an obligation in their party constitutions and affirmative on how to increase the number of female Members of Parliament in their nominations. It is asking State actors to bring more resources for civic education. The people of Kenya and voters must be convinced to elect more women to this ...

25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
However, you want to force us to climb the hill when we have not changed the gears. You will make more people not support you. Ask Hon. Naomi. We tried. I am sure Hon. Naomi will agree with me. We have tried our best. We even asked the President and the former Prime Minister, as a party leader, to speak. We asked everybody to speak but we are now back. For us to walk this route, I want us to support this middle ground that is important and progressive. It is only nine months to the general elections. We will ...
