• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think we have rules and regulations that govern contracts in this country. Hon. Tonui is saying that whatever contract that has been valid and has been checked according to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act should be paid. These are rules that are supposed to be checking this context. I support. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill – the Government Contracts Bill - by the Leader of the Majority Party. This Bill has come when Kenya is losing a lot of funds through corruption, for example in cases such as the National Youth Service; National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF); the maize scandal; the sugar scandal, and many more. You wonder how someone can give a contract just by a word of mouth. Government contracts are supposed to be in black and white. They should be signed by the parties concerned. You wonder ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: provider and Government. When you are given a service or contract just by word of mouth, it is corruption. At the end of the day and for you to be paid, maybe you have to bribe because you have nothing to show that you gave a particular service. It is important to have rules and procedures. The same procedures should be obeyed by everyone, the giver and the taker. The contracting authority should comply with provisions of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act and any other law of this country concerning contracting. It is very sad when it comes ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to ask Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that all the roads and bridges in Tharaka Nithi County are in a bad state, with huge potholes and bridges have no guard-rails which have led to over 20 accidents in the last one year? b) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that roads on the Tharaka Nithi Highway are repaired and maintained, including construction of guard-rails on the bridges? c) Could the Ministry consider compensating victims of road accidents that are as ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Hon. Shamalla is trying to say that force majeure stands for natural calamities. To me, burglary is not a natural calamity. Natural calamities are floods, earthquakes and things that we cannot control. Burglary is human made. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. From the outset, let me thank male Hon.

• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to say that this is not a women’s Bill. It concerns the Constitution of this country. The Constitution makes a provision of the two-thirds gender principle. As we sit in this House today, we fall short of the two-thirds gender principle. We are 76 women in the House. We have 47 women representatives representing the 47 counties. We have 23 women representing constituencies and six nominated ones. That means that we are short of the two- thirds gender rule. Most Kenyans supported the Constitution in 2010. If we are not going to implement this, then we are ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: In the 11th Parliament, Hon. Duale brought the same Bill which is not for women, but for this country and this House. He supported us, but it did not go through. I urge the men of this House, who are our good friends, brothers, husbands and boyfriends, to support this House at this particular time. Let us make history in the 12th Parliament. Let us leave a legacy by supporting this particular Bill. If men in this House are fewer than women today, they could be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: doing the same thing we are doing. They could be talking to us and doing all sorts of things, so that we support them. However, since it is us who are few in this House, I am urging our male colleagues, with all my sincerity, to support this particular Bill. view
