• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: I am happy that the Ministry of Education will be involved as a way of communicating to the young people. That information should not just be in schools but also be available to the public through media such as radio and newspapers. The Government should take it as a major issue in our country because we are concerned about the number of people losing their lives. These things never used to be there. Mental health has a big role in this. Addiction to drugs and excessive consumption of alcohol are part of mental health. Therefore, everybody in this country should ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Bill is trying to de- stigmatise mental illness but some of my colleagues such as the distinguished Senator of Bungoma County, keep on talking of lunatics and insane people. We should be the ones stopping stigmatisation. We should talk of mentally ill patients because mental illness is an illness like any other. view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. On behalf of my immediate and larger family and on my own behalf, I would like to send our condolences to the family of Hon. Oprong‘‘. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: I may not have worked closely with him, but I know that the leaders who served in the first cabinet were very committed. If they were holding leadership positions at the moment, all the nasty things happening in our country would not be there. As the current leaders, we have a lot to learn from them even as we lead the way for the leaders of tomorrow. The biggest tribute that we can give to this hero and the others who have gone before him is our change of attitude towards our country. We should be patriotic in the true ... view

• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to add my voice in congratulating our sister, Sen. Kihika for this really big achievement. I know what I am speaking about when I say it is a big achievement; it is not an easy office but I have no doubt she will do great service to it. In 2006, I held the same position; I was elected the President of the same women caucus. I am sure you know about it. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Most of you might know that we held the Inter Parliamentary Union (IPU) here in Kenya. It was the first time in Africa and it was a first for Kenya. It was also the first in Africa when I was elected to chair that women committee and the flag of Kenya flew high. Now you have taken it even higher because I believe you will build where we stopped and I have no doubt--- The Clerk and the Speaker know about it because Kenya is held very high in the IPU. Before then, I had also been the second woman ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: not just the women alone but also men held Kenya as a leader not only in Africa but also in the Third World. We are proud of Sen. Kihika, and if there is anything she wants to inquire from the operations of that body, because I have been there, I will be willing to share with her. We are proud of her and well done. At her age, getting there so early, I am sure that she might even become the President of the IPU which we look forward to. The only female President was from India, and I do ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also add my voice to what my fellow Senators have said. First of all, I would like to send my deepest condolences to the families, especially that family that lost six members. There is nothing that can be said that can comfort them. We have talked about these things for a long time. As speakers before me have said, it is about time some tangible actions, decisions or policies are made to stop this road carnage. Life is sacred. There is no reason for losing life. We have ... view
• 9 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me. I apologize for coming late. view
