• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to oppose this amendment, especially with regard to Paragraph 5. Whereas I understand that in marriage many people say they cannot be raped, maybe because in the olden days when the Bible was written, that was a different time. However, we are now in the age of the HIV/AIDS scourge and we must protect both spouses.

• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the passage of this Bill although it is a sad day that what we have passed is a shell. We have negated the original spirit of this Bill. I hope that another Parliament will correct this anomaly. I also hope that the women of Kenya have noted what our male hon. Members have done today.

• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must address ourselves to the problems that our country is faced with today. The biggest problem today is rape and child defilement. How many children have been raped in this country? How many of them have died as a result of rape?
