• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. There is nothing much I want to contribute other than celebrate the fact that the IEBC commissioners are out. This is because the majority of Kenyans wanted them out. This is a Report that gives us the process of appointing the new IEBC commissioners. There are certain words that are used in this Report that are attractive. They are “free and fair elections, verifiable, objective, simple, accurate and transparent.” These are key words that we need to highlight all the time in the election process. This is not only ... view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The YEDF, just like the Uwezo Fund and other funds that have been created in this country, has a purpose. Its purpose is to economically empower young people. When we talk about young people, we have in mind young girls and boys and by extension, people living with disabilities. These are vulnerable people whose lives we intend to improve. The impacts of stealing money meant for young people are as follows: They become violent because they have no funds; they become thieves and beggars. That is what we are ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Bill because it is very important. Any country must remember its people; any country must remember its heroes. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Kenyatta was a hero. He was the founding father of the nation. He was not only a politician, but he was also a writer. He wrote Facing Mount Kenya ; a book we have read and enjoyed very much; a book that has given us enough to talk about Kenyan history. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The role he played politically will always be remembered. I know when he died, it was a huge funeral. All this is part of history. His grave lies over here. We have never been there before and we do not know what is there. We just hear rumours of the things that happen there. But we really want to know how he is laid to rest. We only get to know about him again and again every year on his anniversary when flowers are taken there. It would be nice if the whole country can have access to the mausoleum ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: More than that, we need to know more about him. More books have been written, but there is so much that has not been written as well. Not only do we want to know about his political life, but we also want to know about his family life. It is really admirable, particularly his relationship with Mama Ngina. Some of the pictures that we have come across look very attractive and one feels like you want to know more about them. That needs to be part of that history. Therefore, we need a lot more in the mausoleum so that ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The whole world has its history. If you travel all over the world, people have statues. Kenyatta’s statue is there, but where is Mama Ngina’s. That is necessary because the role she played and the other wives he had is part of our history. We need to know more about our founding father. I want to add that it is not only Jomo Kenyatta’s mausoleum that we may have. We can have more. The names have been mentioned here, particularly the heroes of this country. We also have women who are heroes. That is why I mentioned the wives of ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: That is why I support this Bill. It is critical that we appreciate what the late founding father did for us. It is not only a mausoleum. A museum is even bigger and can do much more. We can have more information about him in a museum. view
