• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Ms. Saadia was also very impressive because she comes from a very humble educational background. She was actually an Early Childhood Education (ECD) or nursery school teacher. She got her first degree and then a Masters degree. She is now a PhD candidate or student. It was very impressive because for many women from the minority communities, that kind of progression is not very easy and she has achieved it. So, she turns out as role model to many people. These are the reasons we felt that she deserved that position. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just want to take this chance to congratulate the two ladies because they were extremely impressive. I am crying that the retirement age of 60 years should be reviewed because some people still appear very young at that age. For example, Dr. Salome appears very young but she has two years to go home. This means that we will lose her within a short time and look for somebody to replace her. Otherwise, I support this Motion and hope that the whole House will lend them a hand. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. view

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: is a drug or not a drug is something that we need to know more about. It is something that we have been saying, but we are not aware what it does or what it is; whether it is medicinal or whether it is a drug like beer or cigarettes. It is not very clear. But what I have learnt as a person is from documentaries that have emerged, or that have highlighted what miraa does to people. I remember seeing one on television last year. I think it was a long documentary on miraa . It was a very ... view

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I was just about to finish, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to say that research will give us a lot of information about miraa . I am very keen on the effect of education. As an educationist, I feel that this needs to be highlighted in the study so that we see whether it is true that boys and girls are dropping out of school to get into the miraa business; that they are dropping out too early before they complete their view

• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which is very timely and important for our entire country. It is not just floods that we experience year in, year out, but we experience many other disasters that equally require national attention. There are a lot of fire outbreaks, diseases, drought, violence and even collapse of buildings. Many times when this happens, the face of the Government is very limited. You do not see much of what the Government is doing and you tend to see the Red Cross and several NGOs. It ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion on the appointment of these judges. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We went through this very diligently. The CVs were excellent. We were dealing with people of great distinction. Their experience is really wonderful. I think it is a great pride for Kenyans to have these judges because of their background, experience and the roles they have played in their own countries. They have an impressive record. In fact, as you read their CVs you just enjoy doing so. This is ... view
