• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: in 20 years’ time, we still need to have them affirmed just like we watched with regard to the 2017 General Election. Of course, Hon. Duale is already excited that his party is going to have governance. I am sure that the Party of Independents which I will belong to in the next Parliament might have more governors, Senators and Members of Parliament. view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: One of the things we need to appreciate is that we must do what it takes to look at political party nominations so that they can have more women in all spheres. If we continue conducting them in the manner we did in the last ones, you can be sure that it does not matter how much affirmative action we do but we will still end up with very few women Members of Parliament because of the intricacies. I think the sunset clause is a good thing but giving it 20 years is slightly too much. The third thing is ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I have a problem with the extension of 10 years in Clause 4(1)(d). view

• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: For five years, we have been trying to juggle balls and levers while there are constitutional principles on how to realise this.

The fourth thing is that it is evident that we will not be able to pass the two-thirds gender Bill in this particular Parliament because we have a couple of sittings to go and we need two-thirds of the Members of Parliament to pass this particular Bill. ... view

• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I really think that whatever we can do, a limitation or denial of rights of one particular sphere of the community cannot and should not be allowed. We must do whatever it takes to ensure that in this Parliament and the next under the Green Amendment Campaign among many others, which we will be doing with Hon. Ken Okoth and some of my colleagues, the rights of women under the two-thirds gender principle and those other constitutional principles with regard to rights are realised. My time is up but I think we must give the women of this country the ... view
