• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, ‘professor’ sounds good as well. I hope it will come true in the next few years. This is exactly the tone that we need to set. We have professions and other things that we need to move on to do in different spheres of life. It is important for that tag; some people are bothered by it and some are not.

• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the two minutes to conclude. It is important to support all the women of Kenya because they are the future women leaders. I support. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I support this Bill. This is an amendment Bill that seeks to align it with the Constitution. It is very clear in the Fourth Schedule. The distribution of functions between the national and county governments has been clearly stipulated. I refer to county government’s specificity in terms of what they are meant to do. They have a function as far as county health services are concerned, specifically county health facilities. They have a jurisdiction for the functions across county health facilities, ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. We have key organs in this country; the Judiciary, Legislature and Executive. The legislative body is incubated by Parliament, which by all means, is a symbolic and key organ in terms of ensuring that the legislative arm is catered for. A lot of things happen in Parliament. Members of Parliament are recognized and acknowledged to have a lot to offer within their societies in coming up with the right legislation. This Bill is titled ‘The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Bill (National Assembly Bill No.35 of 2014).’ It includes both the National ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have been listening to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talking and I am wondering whether he is in order to mislead us about the interpretation of Clause 1(a) which states that a person elected under Clause 1 for a seat in Parliament or a county assembly shall be eligible for re-election under Clause 1 for two terms only. That means that if they had been there and they want to be re-nominated for the third term, they will not. This Clause does not suggest that they must be nominated for two consecutive ... view

• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not want you to pre-empt want I want to do. Is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in order to suggest about an attitude being presented in terms of debate when we are clear about the fact that when we are debating in this House, we do so as Senators of the Senate of Kenya? When bringing our points to the fore front, let us not show the differences that we have as human beings at this particular point. As women of Kenya, we have tried to create a scenario for positions for the women. We are ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is Sen. Obure in order to mislead us that some of these officers do not have power in the development of policies and plans? This is because if we look at the jurisdiction and what has been given in the County Government Act, the sub-county administrator and ward administrator have specific functions that have been given. The sub-county administrator is responsible for the coordination of various things, including the development of policies and plans. The same is also given for the ward administrator. view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, when we say man or woman, there is a difference. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. There is both the biological and the social contrast. It is exactly that, that we are running away from. The legal position that “chairman” represents both is a position that people still debate. That is why people are slowly moving towards being progressive. This is because when we say chairman, it can be a man or a woman. Why presume that we have to say man and that will be inclusive of woman? The electronic ... view
