• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Mhe. Naibu Spika, nimesikia Mhe. Richard Onyonka akikuita Mama Spika. Najua hakuna Mama Spika ama Baba Spika katika Bunge hili. Spika ni Spika. Kwa hivyo, anapaswa kurekebisha akuite jina linalofaa unapoketi katika Kiti hicho. Akina mama wako nyumbani! view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support Hon. Duale and Hon. Ochieng in requesting you to invoke Standing Order No. 62(2). I also want you to give guidance to this House as regards the voting rights of Members. This is because under Standing Order No. 70(3), it says that Members shall cast their vote by pressing “yes,” “no” or “abstain” buttons during electronic voting. Under Standing Order No. 70(5), it also says that any Member who is for some reason unable to vote, can be allowed to record their decision in favour of or against the Question verbally, ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of myself, my family and the people of Runyenjes Constituency, I want to add my voice in condoling with the family of the former President, Hon. Mwai Kibaki, and the people of Othaya for losing the former First Lady, Mama Lucy Kibaki. As women leaders and as Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), we have lost a great woman leader who taught us how to be brave and speak our mind without fear. We will all remember her for having made the people of Kenya realise that there was an Office of the First Lady. ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Mama Lucy Kibaki had no time to waste if she thought that a certain man had not done things rightly. It did not matter about your position. She told you to your face that you have done a wrong thing. She did not fear to tell you something. The many men who crossed her path know that. As women leaders, we learnt that it is actually possible to stand up as a woman and speak your mind without fear. For that reason, I will remember her very fondly. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I remember her at a very personal level. During the 2007 elections, she came to Runyenjes Constituency. When she arrived, she found very many male candidates next to me and she told them this to their faces: “I did not come here for you. I came here to support a fellow woman.” When she stood to speak she said: “I have come here to support Cecily Mbarire, my daughter.” That really shocked me. Even when the then President Hon. Mwai Kibaki came three days later, he did not even have the courage to seek support for me and yet, I ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to welcome Members of this House to a dinner that is hosted by the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) this evening at the Hotel Inter-continental. We particularly urge our male colleagues to kindly join us for dinner and to come on empty stomach. We have a lot to eat and talk about. Please, also, wear your dancing shoes. view

• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, since we seem to have consensus on this Bill, would I be in order to request that you call the Mover to reply? We also have the challenge of the fact that we are going on recess next week. This thing has a timeline and we must leave it with the Senate to proceed. I am thinking, to give it the necessary--- view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to that of my fellow colleagues in supporting this very important Bill. Let me start by saying that what we are doing today is a journey that has been walked for a very long time. For those who may not know, the first affirmative action Bill was brought to this Floor in the Eighth Parliament by Hon. Phoebe Asiyo who, I believe, is watching today and praying to God that we can end that journey that she began in the Eighth Parliament. We also had it brought ... view
