• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: “(4) Termination of pregnancy is not permitted, but expectant mothers are entitled to emergency medical treatment in life threatening conditions.” view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know how this issue is very emotive and we have seen many demonstrations and debates. I would like to bring to the attention of this House that the religious sector has consented to this amendment. We had a meeting with the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) Secretary General, the moderator of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Rev. Timothy Ragi who is a member of the Anglican Church, Archbishop Wabukala, the Catholic Church and the Muslims. So, that is an agreed position. We also have supporting documents from the Kenya Parents Caucus and a ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: The word “abortion” seems to make the church and the religious sector, as a whole, very uncomfortable. That is why the word “termination” was agreed upon with the provisions that any mother is entitled to medical support in time of need. This rules out abortion at will which is what most of the people, especially the religious sector is against. We all want this Constitution to pass, and we should know that Kenyans are waiting for this document. Regardless of our amendments in this House, I think we owe Kenyans a chance to vote on this new draft. I believe ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I beg to move. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe having owned the Motion, I should have been given time to speak on the amendment. But I did not get chance to do so. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe the rules are that any amendment that changes the spirit of the Motion is never allowed, unless we have completely gone against the Standing Orders. I feel aggrieved because I brought the amendment, but I was not given the opportunity to say anything about the amendment to the amendment. I believe that it has completely changed the spirit of my amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought this information will settle some of these issues. The meeting was not just for religious leaders. We also had doctors, including our own doctors here and gynecologists. It has been insinuated that it was only the church leaders. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy, Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amendment. This is because I think the ruling to annul will be made from the wrong premise. If you listen to the debate going on here, even the lawyers themselves are not in agreement as to the interpretation of this law. We Members who are not lawyers; the laymen, are even more lost. When you listen to the debate, all of us are giving different reasons. Some say it is the procedure followed, others the law and others the performance of Ringera. So, what is it that we ... view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I too want to support this Vote very strongly. I also want to congratulate the Minister and her team for the very good work they have done, especially during the very difficult one year and a half since the elections, when they have had to feed very many people in the internally displaced persons (IDP) camps and also other Kenyans who have found themselves with lack of food. view
