• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to weigh in on this Bill. It is a weighty Bill. First and foremost, I was not around when the Building Bridges Initiative was finally buried. Allow me to congratulate the Judiciary for a job well done at the Supreme Court. We hope that it dies forever. Meanwhile, anybody who might wish to resurrect it should follow its fate. Every child has a right. Even as we take care of them and look at their rights, we should not deny them the right to international adoption. There are good ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Sankok did not listen to me. Sometimes, he hardly listens. I said, “if a child was to choose…” I know Hon. Sankok has challenges with his education. I do not wish to go there because he is my friend and brother. We have talked about the economic hardships in this country and in other countries. Children can be born in families that may not take care of them. We have children who are abandoned and taken to children’s homes. If a good foreigner would wish to adopt such children, as long as regulations are put ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to weigh in on the Report.As I do so, I want to congratulate you because you look very beautiful in green. Particularly, the headgear really matches with some United Democratic Alliance (UDA) colours. You look very nice. All said and done, you are extremely smart. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know she is jealous because I have pointed out your smartness. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, may I conclude by saying that you are smart and beautiful? view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I want to point out something that my colleague, Hon. Sankok, had mentioned: This country needs to look at the level of debt that we have and the current level of development in this country and see whether or not they are in tandem. This is because when you look at our debt, it is ridiculously high compared to the level of development. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Reducing debt is a very important issue facing this county at this point in time. That is what this House and the Executive should focus on but, of course, without increasing the level of taxation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support the Motion before the House. I want to plead with this House that it is important for us to focus on the policies that would not only assist this country to reduce debt but to also reduce taxes that the citizens are paying. Of course, I do not wish away the ongoing development in Kenya. Thank you, ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to weigh in on this matter of our history. This is a very important step that the Leader of the Majority Party is taking on behalf of this House. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I want to laud Hon. Oundo, who has just spoken. He has talked about the Committee that we will form to consider this matter. It should not just be a Committee of this House. It should also involve those who were here before us. Those who are still alive can assist in documenting the history of Parliament. Why is this history important? There is no way you can know that we have moved without history. For instance, over time, we have moved from analogue to digital systems. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: We need to preserve the seats that our former Members of Parliament were using. We need our grandchildren to see them. We not only need to document our history but also we need to have a Parliament museum where we will preserve old furniture that this House used earlier on. Another issue that has come out clearly is the contributions that former Members made, including us now. They should equally be well documented. We have the history and people who have actually broken record by being here longer than we can imagine. I have in mind even my former MP, ... view
