• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I want to begin by saying that, yes, I am a member of the Grand Coalition Government. However, I do not think we are saying anything new today. There is nothing we have not said about hunger. This is not the first time Kenyans are starving. We come here to talk as if it is happening for the first time. It is as if the price of commodities, including fertilizer, are high for the first time. We have got to be very honest with ourselves. In the ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support Dr. Khalwale. This is a very critical Motion not just for women but for all Members of Parliament. We do not want to lose this important Motion because of just a few concerns that the Mover would like to take care of before she brings it back. If we lose this Motion today, the Mover will have to wait for another six months before she re- introduces it. We really want this Motion to pass but we want to take care of the concerns that have been ... view

• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Motion. I want to begin by congratulating the Mover of this Motion for deeming it fit to bring this particular issue whose time has come and which I think should have been sorted out many years ago. I think nobody can dispute the fact that the role of headmen, elders, or whatever other name they are called in various places, is very important in making sure that the Government is closer to the people. They also make sure that the Government gets information on ... view
• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to begin by saying that I stand to support this Motion whose time has come. This Motion will truly help us to deal with certain issues that are bedeviling the youth of this country. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the outset, I want to say that we need to get to the root cause of the existence of these militia, gangs and groupings. I tend to feel that the real reason why the youth form these groups is that they have been socially, economically and politically deprived of their rights to participate, ... view
• 24 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Motion. At the outset, I want to congratulate the Minister for coming up with a Budget at a very difficult time in the history of this country. Nonetheless, I would like to make some comments on issues that I feel are touchy and important for us to look into. I think the idea of zero-rating some of the food products was very good. That was on wheat, bread and rice. But I want to say that, that is not the end of it all. Even after zero-rating, we ... view
• 24 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. At the outset, I would like to congratulate the Minister for his appointment. I believe him and my teacher at the university, Dr. Sambili, will give Kenya a lot of support in terms of ensuring that we actualise Vision 2030. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I begin by saying that by looking at the list, I can see that they are credible people. I may not know all of them, but I support a proposal by one hon. Member that it is important in future, to bring the names to a ... view
