• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will speak very fast. Thank you everybody for participating in this Motion. I think the message is very clear. Kenyans are watching and they are looking upon us to help them. I borrow the words of one member who said we need to resolve this issue. If that has a financial or budget implication, I feel it is not a cost that is so high for us to pay as we save the lives of Kenyans. I think the message is clear. Kenyans are dying. We are a sick nation. If you are ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that cancer causes more deaths than HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria combined; further aware that thirty per cent of cancers are curable if detected at an early stage and that thirty per cent of cancers are treatable with prolonged survival if detected early, thirty per cent of the cancer patients can be provided with adequate symptom management and care; deeply concerned that cancer is the third highest cause of morbidity in Kenya after infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases in the country; noting that effective treatments require availability of specialists, chemotherapy services, essential drugs for pain management and adequate infrastructure ... view

• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker, I rise in support of the Motion on approval of the Cabinet nominees, which was moved this afternoon by the Leader of the Majority Party. I thank Kenyans for allowing us to be here as Members of Jubilee. I look forward to getting more numbers in this House in future so that any boycott does not result in us occupying the Opposition seats. I also reiterate that we have been through a long election year, during which this county made history by having two presidential elections in one year. President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cabinet list has been ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: and rubber-stamping efforts of political party leaders… When you come to Parliament, your role is very simple and it is defined in the Constitution. You come here to legislate or make laws and approve names of nominees to various positions. These fellows just walked out of the Chamber. They are simply telling Kenyans that they are themselves the biggest rubber-stamps because they cannot even tell what their constitutional mandate is. Finally, I want to take this opportunity to encourage my fellow Kenyans. It is good to give them hope on such a day because they are tired of politics. I ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As the County Woman Representative for the area, I have had opportunity to interact very closely with the residents of Laikipia North under the leadership of Hon. Sara Korere. I have interacted with the people of Laikipia West under the leadership of Patrick Mariru and the people of Laikipia East under the leadership of Hon. Deddy. I hereby confirm that this House needs to take this dialogue beyond the conversations on the ground in Laikipia about livestock. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I also want to confirm that what has been appearing in the local dailies is not factual. Something needs to be done to ascertain and prove the number of cattle that were killed, civilians and policemen who died, lodges that have been torched and details concerning the animosity that is between Laikipia, Isiolo, Samburu, Baringo and other counties which are neighbouring Laikipia. As a woman and mother, I wish to appreciate one thing, that this country and Laikipia County is made up of so many tribes and people of different origins. It is not a conversation that is going to ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: The Constitution of Kenya talks about the right to access your property and the right to human life, your properties and everything about them. As a modern woman in this country, I want to appreciate that there is nothing which any Kenyan does that is not meaningful to their lives. If you are selling sukuma wiki, a cattle grazer or taking care of your fish in a certain fishpond in Laikipia West, everything about any Kenyan and any citizen in Laikipia must be respected. I also want to confirm that the police organ and the security officers have done a ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: One spoilt potato does not make the whole sack to be cast out and say nothing has been done. I want to confirm to this House that in Laikipia County, eight policemen died in the hands of criminals. I do not want to use the term “illegal grazers”. I want to confirm that 18 men and women who are civilians in Laikipia have died in the hands of criminals purporting to be doing certain economic activities. I want to confirm to this House that six lodges, starting with II Ngwesi and the same Tassia we are talking about have been ... view
