• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to be on record. I concur with you; I cannot challenge you. There is no evidence that there is reason for us to stop or stand down the debate on this Bill. However, for the first time, we are now creating a parliamentary practice that will eventually become our tradition. Such a matter might recur in future. My thinking is that we proceed with debate - even if we pass the Second Reading today, there will be still the Third Reading waiting – but in the meantime, the Office of the Speaker should ... view

• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you, for giving me this opportunity to beg the distinguished Senator to withdraw those remarks, so that they are not part of the record of the House. She does not have to apologize. My children will come here when I am gone and I do not want them to think that I was ‘anti-women.’ In fact, I am on record as one of the few politicians in this country who loves our women so much that I not only have one or two wives but slightly more. What greater appreciation can a man have for ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is this attitude of being confrontational that is part of the reason in the National Assembly, a few male Members walked out of the House and we missed the numbers. Today, we have spent the whole day listening to the presentations as, the Select Committee, from the National Gender and Equality Commission, particularly on this agenda. Should this matter fail, we yet have another avenue, as a Committee, to give it a chance to see the light of day. Is she in order to leave me out of the list ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to strongly support any initiative, like this one, that attempts to equalize the boys and girls; the men and women of the Republic of Kenya. This is because, in His wisdom, the Lord Almighty created all of us equal. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to speak to the importance of this constitutional amendment Bill and emphasize the reasons I am happy that, finally, we have an opportunity to make a pronouncement on it as a House. This matter has been before the National Assembly two times and we watched helplessly as the Bill ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Which is immense, as put by my able national party leader of FORD Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill for the memory my late mother, Mama Paulina Shinangoi, omukhana wa Lugonzo. Finally, I want to clarify that I support all these women that I have mentioned above, I am currently teaching my daughters and I hope all the girl-children of this country are listening to me or will one day read this. We must teach our girls to learn to compete. We do not want them to think that the reason we give them affirmative action is ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with your permission, allow me to thank you and also remind Sen. (Dr.) Zani that I understand that she is a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. If she had been one of the teachers who taught me, she would not have qualified to teach English because, apparently, I understand English better than she does. I can read this clause and understand it well. I am asking Sen. Sijeny to do the honourable thing, demonstrate good will, bring us on board and not disenfranchise other Kenyan women and drop this amendment. We want all other Kenyans ... view
