• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House be amended by inserting the words, “subject to recommital of Clause 3.” view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: When we were in the Committee of the whole House, we received proposed amendments from both the Chair of the Committee which came from some considered deliberations within the Committee and we also received amendments from the Leader of the Majority Party which had also emanated from consultations within Government. The two seemed to have some discrepancies that caused confusion among us in the Committee of the whole House and were defeated. It should be in the best interest of law-making to have the two reconcile those differences and we recommit that here so that we make a law that ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As we are now, we risk passing a law that contains some amorphous organisations but if we give the two sometime, then we can recommit that particular clause and have it passed in a clearer environment. view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to move. view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chair of the Committee will second. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill not because it is talking about women or it is being promoted by women, but because it is one of the issues that we were supposed to have done as early as 2012. Much as it may appear as if it came first in the 11th Parliament, I can confirm that this Bill was first published in 2012. We had two issues, the date of election and the gender principle.

• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: have gone counter to what we are doing today. I was surprised by the amendment we are bringing about the Senate because to me it seems to have been overtaken by events. When we were in Bomas we sorted out the Senate because of the small numbers. The 16 Senators who are nominated is actually one-third of the 47 Senators. We had already provided for that. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The change in the Senate is superfluous but because we cannot amend, let it just pass. It will not change anything. We did the same for the county assemblies but when it came to the National Assembly for some reason, it was forgotten and ignored. It was assumed that by some magic there will be enough women in Parliament. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you may remember this because you were in Bomas then. The confusion seems to have come when we were debating between going the party list system or mixed member system, with so many people coming through the party list and others through the electoral system. It was assumed that the parties would balance by bringing the women to create the one-third. When that issue went to Naivasha, the party list system was removed but nobody then, remembered to include it within the Articles to create how we would top-up the National Assembly in terms of women. view
