• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, all Members of Parliament have earned this recess this time for the good work that they have done. As we go on recess, we all feel satisfied that we have done what Kenyans never expected. So, we have rested our case in the sense that what they kept on saying that Members of Parliament do not work as hard as they expect us to do. We have shown that we are equal to the task. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we go on recess, unfortunately some of us are facing some extreme difficulties and challenges when we go to our constituencies. In ASAL areas, people are going through hard times because of acute shortage of food, famine and some areas lack of water. I think time has come for us, as a country, to really address the issue of food shortage squarely. Today and tomorrow, we have this very important and big conference taking place in Gigiri, with the UN and all the donors meeting here, what we are calling the Horn of Africa Conference, ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, sometimes back, the President of Egypt called the President of Kenya and said, “Mr. President, I know your people are going through acute famine.” Our President said, “Oh, the reason is that we do not get enough rains.” The President of Egypt promised to send food to Kenya. The President of Egypt laughed because he feeds his 80 million people with water that comes from Kenya and here our President says we do not get enough rains. We are taking the wrong approach to solve this problem. We need to stop these conferences that we hold ... view

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support this Motion. I want to say that all is not lost. From where we are coming as the women of Kenya - we started this way back in 1990s - we did not know that one day, we would be standing up in this House and speaking authoritatively. For sure, in the next Parliament, we shall have the two thirds or one third majority in this House. With the new Constitution, there is no way that we will have a National Assembly that is not going to have the required ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Judging from the mood of the House and how we know this lady, would I be in order to request you to put the question? view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. In supporting this Bill, I must say that since we are going to create a new Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, we are doing so knowing that the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission (KACC) has let us down. When we got elected and passed the Public Officers Ethics Act in 2003, we really expected that what Kenyans had wanted to ensure that corruption was dealt with was going to be done by KACC. Unfortunately, right from that time to this time when we have this new Director who I hope will ... view
