• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to oppose this amendment. I do so as a mother with children and as a wife, who does not want our family resources to go to gaming and lotteries and cause unnecessary pain to families. The youth in this country are waiting to make Kshs220 million like other persons they saw one year ago. They want to become millionaires out of this. We must stop it. I am surprised that the Committee found it fit to reduce the tax rate from 35 per cent to 15 per cent. It makes me wonder whether they ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Motion. Let me first begin by really congratulating Hon. Janet Nangabo for bringing this Motion whose time is well overdue. Let me begin by telling you just how serious this problem is. The World Health Organisation (WHO) calls fistula the single most traumatic aftermath of neglected childbirth. This unfortunate disease affects over 2 million mothers in the world. Two to three out of every 1,000 childbirths result in fistula. A lot of women are suffering in silence in the villages because it mainly affects women and girls ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: whole country, there are only 10 surgeons that deal with fistula surgery. I hope that we can train more surgeons in the area of fistula and make sure that we save women from this unfortunate condition that brings down their self-esteem. They can hardly even go to public places because you have no control of your bladder and vesico strength. It is a shameful disease. Many women are suffering in silence. I hope that we can pass this Motion with the help of the female Members of Parliament and also the male MPs because they know women who are suffering ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wanted to contribute to the next Motion. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support these nominees because they are very important part of our society. The importance of IPOA cannot be overstated because they solve a few issues here and there. When I was the Chairman of Students Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU), I was arrested 11 times within a uration of seven months. At that time, there was no IPOA. So, there was nowhere I could have gone to report. To be sincere, the work of IPOA is well spelt out. It is very important that they solve issues. For the past six ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: are bound not to give their optimum. It is pathetic to live in such a tiny house and you are married with children. You even live with another family and divide the house using a curtain. Most of the times, our officers are on night duty. For a long time, we have left issues of police officers in the hands of the Inspector-General (IG). When there is one centre of power, and you have nowhere to run to, there is bound to be discrimination. Probably, you are not in good books with your supervisor and you have nowhere to complain. ... view

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the time you have given me, considering that the matters that we are debating today concern Members’ welfare as well as facilities. Let me commend the Committee for doing a good job, especially by just mentioning the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003. To speak the truth, all the facilities around this House are not accessible by persons with disabilities. They are not conducive for use by persons with disabilities. I know we have tried. There are ramps at the entrances to the Main Parliament Buildings, with one lift working ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: never access the Members’ offices in Continental House. It is shameful that this is the same House that makes laws. The Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003 is an Act of this House yet the implementation part of it is wanting. Some private buildings and institutions have implemented this Act and the United Nations Convection on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which this country ratified in 2008. Therefore, it is domesticated and it is part of our laws. Some of our private institutions have implemented all this, but the House that made these laws and ratified the international instrument ... view
