• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family. I remember Daniel Moi coming to Sinyolo Girls’ Secondary School, where I was a principal.

He found that we did not have electricity and ordered that electricity be installed in the school. He gave us Ksh150,000 to fence the school and Ksh40,000 to celebrate Christmas. I want to celebrate his life. view

• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This Bill is very humane and friendly to humankind because it touches on the lives of those who have served this nation very well. It is about leaders who have been in this House and who have performed very well during their times. They have left this House with a lot of distinction and credibility. They are leaders we respect, and who will be remembered in the history of this country. It has been observed across this country, including Nyanza and Siaya, where I come from; that the lives ... view

• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: home after retirement, you are simply going home to die. It is so bleak to talk about dying when you retire. I want to think of retirement as a time after you have done your best in life – when you enjoy your last years living a comfortable life, eating better food and having access to medical care. It is necessary for us to consider parliamentarians who served here in the past and who live below the poverty line. I know many of them. I can mention them.

• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I want to appreciate the Member who has brought this Motion, Mheshimiwa John Munene. 100 per cent transition is in line with the right to education for everybody in this country. Everybody has a right to access education, retention and completion of education. So, this is a move in the right direction. I believe that when you talk of 100 per cent transition, we need to start much earlier than secondary school to university. We need to start from ECD classes. The students that join ECD ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: for students and if the students do not have enough access to education. To me, this is very important. The final point I want to make is that education does not mean that when you go to university, you must get a job. There is self-employment. I know it is very difficult to be self- employed, but we still need to highlight that it is key. That is what we see in other countries. I was in a Masters class in UK with an old woman. She was over 60 and she was doing a Masters degree. When we asked ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This is going to support women who drop out of school. I see many women being saved by this Motion. They will not just drop out. Even if they drop out, the opportunity will be there again to go back to school, even for those who get married early enough. It will mean that you get married but you continue going to school. Nobody will stop you from going to school and that, to me, is 100 per cent gain. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Member for bringing this Motion. It is saving lives and making everybody to go to school and those who are disadvantaged to be able to achieve what they want to achieve, and nobody will ever be at home. view
