• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add to what Hon. Kaluma has brought to this House. Let me start by congratulating him for coming up with the Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I wish to support it on the basis that it seeks to know the valid dependants in relation to inheritance. I am a bit worried when I go to Clause 3(b) which mentions dependants. This House gives us a platform to improve it. Let us take a possibility in this country. A woman can lose a husband like the way you saw here the other day in Mount Kenya Television when the wife of the late Hon. Murunga was brought up. She explained how the burial was stopped by someone from somewhere. When we bring all these people to be ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: If the concept of dependants will be improved, it will bring integrity in families. As Members of Parliament, we attend many burials where we leave when we are traumatised. You reach there to attend a burial and as you try to sit down, you are told it was stopped because there was a court order. This leaves the children, parents of the deceased, widows and widowers traumatised. It leaves very many people in a chaotic scenario. In addition, what I am proposing to Hon. Kaluma, as Hon. (Prof.) Jacqueline mentioned, let us also revisit the matter on the other marriages ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I have heard most men talk about ‘slay queens’ but sometimes they also forget the ‘slay kings’ in this country. On that basis, it is advisable for men to be very responsible. We do not have the time for men to pretend that they love around ten women, putting them in different areas, but do not want to take responsibility. It is high time men took courage. If you love many women, please, do not wait until you die for them to come with their children to claim their inheritance. It is also a platform to remind our fellow women ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. We are saying that even you men do not have to use the word ‘slay queens’ anymore. They are not ‘slay queens’ after they give birth. When you are having sweet times with them, they are your darlings and sweethearts. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Therefore, when we talk about succession, we also need to have responsible men. Even after they give birth, let them be your sweethearts and introduce them as part of your families. You may take the right legal action to make sure they are included as dependents in your wills. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. Please, protect me because you are also a man. Protect me. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On that, I will conclude by saying that it has been very traumatising when we see burials being stopped by court orders; when we see families, children and those who have lost their family members crying. This Bill is going to bring a lot of respect and integrity to families. To our girl child and our women, please, push the men who put you somewhere and call you mipango ya kando to recognise you before God takes them away. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to ask Question No.089/2021. My Question is directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a list of all integrated Internally Displaced Persons in Njoro Constituency? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary give details on all monies disbursed and parcels of land allocated to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) including a breakdown of the beneficiaries? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary further indicate the amount paid to each of the beneficiaries, bank details, and disbursement methodology? (iv) What measures are in ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is one of my most interesting part of the debate and I wish to thank Hon. Tandaza for donating to me one minute in relation to the Crops (Amendment) Bill. Why I had a lot of interest to contribute is because I have learnt the crop is very special in this country, once it is scheduled. Also, it is good to realise that there is the concept of the seed waste mixture with chicken droppings which can also create fertiliser for the farmers. In relation to what view
