Lady Justice Philomena Mbete approval as the Deputy Chief Justice of this country. She is suitable and qualified. She has integrity and leadership qualities. view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I remember the when I was contributing on the debate on the nomination of the Chief Justice, I was cut short by an intervention.

• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to those who have spoken before me and oppose this Bill. The Bill is, indeed, retrogressive, discriminative and to say the least, faulty.

I do not see why we would not want to leave a legacy of having enacted legislation for posterity, leave it to others in future and then go down in history as people who were opposed to the Constitution. view

• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: As women, we do not fear to go and vie in our constituencies. I am one of the examples that have decided to vie following the declaration by Hon. Deputy Speaker who is also going to make history of being one of the first women Governors in Bomet County. I want to vie in Sotik Constituency. Right now, there are about 14 men who are also aspirants. I am sure I will clinch the seat through the support of women and men who respect the Constitution. Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
