• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to the appointment of hon. (Dr.) Ali. He is somebody who is very well known to me and very well qualified for this appointment. Based on what hon. Wanga has contributed in this House this afternoon, having Ms. Lonah Mumelo will be very good for PSC. But what I want to say is this: We call upon the PSC to wake up because, as new legislators, we have not had good services from PSC and we cannot hide our heads in the sand. Without offices and without ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. On the outset, I would like to say that I support this Bill. I am persuaded to support this Bill for many reasons but first and foremost, as a Parliamentary Select Committee, we visited Kilifi sometime in November, 203.

Another thing I would like to talk about is determination of objection. It ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to the issue of dowry, as an African man in his right mind, I think I do subscribe to the payment of dowry; but not payment in terms of purchase, but in terms of building the family linkage from the wife’s side to the husband’s side. view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, we have to be very careful on the effects of a promise to marry, which is covered in Section 76. We must take into consideration the age. Youngsters at the university might promise their mates that they are ready to marry them, yet in the real sense they are not because they are still growing up. view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. On the outset, I wish to thank the sponsor of this amendment Bill, hon. Sakaja. I also want to thank the Jubilee administration for staying focused on their election agenda of empowering the youth of this country. It has been said that the goodness of any society is how well that society looks after the less privileged and the vulnerable members of that society. I think this Bill--- view
