• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: women or men. This is because gender has been confused. It is true and I believe that we meant women. It is women who are not in the Kenyan decision-making tables. Look at all these seats. I want to commend my brother who is still here because I have seen his stand and support regularly. I am sure he is here to oppose this particular amendment that is being brought. Hon. Chepkong’a who has left this House and is the owner of this Bill should not deceive this House that this was a Committee Bill. That is because Hon. Priscilla ... view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: their houses they move from one to another. How come the women are many when it comes to this House? I beg to oppose this--- view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Millie for that information because I had just said “I hope”. The Judiciary has messed this country regularly. This morning, the Deputy Chief Justice nominee said that she hopes we will have a woman. If the Judiciary had expressed itself properly, we would be relying on judicial authority and not hope because the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has failed Kenyans once again. Therefore, let us have this amendment thrown out so that Kenyan women will not rely on anybody’s goodwill, but the Constitution of this country. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. May I join my colleagues to also thank you, your office together with the Speaker‘s panel and the Leader of the Majority Party for showing a lot of devotion to the work of this House. Today, we had a very unanimous arrangement in this House on matters that ordinarily we would not have been in agreement. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: On Monday, this week, I was at Nation Television station with Prof. Anyang-Nyong‘o and Farah Mohammed and the question of whether we shall allow party-hopping came up for debate. Clearly there was disagreement and the opposing side led by Farah said that there is no way we can legislate against party- hopping and I agreed. Today, this House did not legislate against party-hopping as such. I think we put sense in the manner in which we carry out our nominations towards the elections time. I personally suffered manipulation and mistreatment during nominations in 2002 and 2007. I agree that I ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, indeed, the courts have expressed themselves on this question and Hon. Kaluma knows that. The courts have determined that Parliament has the onus of coming up with legislation. We should thereafter be looking at the adequacy or inadequacy of the legislation. Therefore, Parliament is failing this nation by continuously failing to come up with legislation. My colleague, Hon. Junet should understand when we talk about marginalization, equity and equality of persons, both men and women. His wife is very right to be on the side of coming up with legislation. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With great respect to the Chair, I know you have been doing very well. If we are sitting here and do not come from those areas and yet we have something important to contribute, the Chair is actually asking us to leave the Chamber. That is not the way to go. You could have a small but not complete bias. That is so that we expect to be given an opportunity. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am saying that his wife was very correct--- view
