• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: To use the words of Mike McCurry, a former White House press secretary in the Bill Clinton Administration, he best describes the campaign period that we are about to get to. To quote him, he states: view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to reply to this Motion. I thank all Members for their support. There is no doubt, indeed, that this is a committee that needs to get to business immediately because there are important businesses before them. These include looking into the budget for the repeat election and money for the free secondary education come January. I thank all the Members for being patient and for participating in a very meaningful way to this Motion. view

• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to stand and join my colleagues in opposing this Bill. I want to put it on record that this is the most retrogressive legislative proposal I have seen being brought to this Floor. It says nothing. It simply tries to hoodwink the women of Kenya to believe that there is anything being done about that right that was enshrined in the Constitution. Let me say this: I am really disappointed with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, Hon. Chepkong’a. The reason I am disappointed with ... view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Who is directing him to bring Bills that the women of Kenya have said no to? The women Members of Parliament (MPs) in this House speak for the women of this country. We have had serious consultations with the civil society.

That, he now comes back here and ignores those voices is bad. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it worries me that we should have such kind of games being played on a very important ... view

• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: We campaigned for our candidates and parties and found ourselves here. To show you how important it is to get that affirmative seat, we moved on. We have been able to go on, run for seats and come back to this House. Therefore, let nobody belittle affirmative action. Had I not gotten that one opportunity to be here for five years as a nominated Member of Parliament, I would not be seeking the seat of the governor of Embu County. It is because I got a chance where my capacity grew. Like Hon. Soipan has said, that is what we ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in supporting this Petition. Having been a girl guide in my secondary school days, I think this is a very opportune moment to modernize the Girl Guides Association as it were. In view of the fact that the current Act that supports them is one that has been there since the colonial days, many things have changed over time. It is also important that as we look into this, we seriously consider having a fund that goes to the Girl Guides Association and the scouts’ movement. In view of the challenges ... view
