• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: My last born now is about nine years and I am not intending to have another child. All I am saying is that my children are going to benefit immensely from this Bill. My children were affected because of breastfeeding. I wish Hon. Sabina Chege was in this Parliament 10 years ago and I would be one of the biggest beneficiaries. For young Kenyans out there and as Hon. Ore has put it, I do not agree with the title “The Breastfeeding Mothers Bill”. Hon. Ore has just put it clearly that this Bill is not only for mothers. It ... view

The other day, there was a breastfeeding day and mothers were just sitting along the streets all over, breast-feeding their children. We are also asking women not to feel ashamed of walking to a bench in a public place and breastfeed her child. I do not know whether it is bad to see a woman’s breasts in public. We urge women not to be scared. Most of the time, I see women carrying some light clothing to cover their child ... view

• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: I know you will have. That is actually what I was saying about the title. We are going to sit down with the owner of the Bill so that we can get a better one because it is not only for mothers. I agree with Hon. Sabina. You have come up with a very good Bill. We have only four more sittings. This is one of the Bills that we would have wanted to improve. I hope I will be here because this is one of the most fundamental Bills that the 11th Parliament can be appreciated for passing. I ... view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I am making this contribution as an administrator in the sports industry. It is very sad that late last year or early this year, Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo came up with a very good piece of legislation that was supposed to take this industry to where--- There are people who are crying about our young children. Jakoyo Midiwo’s Bill had suggested most of those things. It would have addressed most of the issues that the Members are bringing up, but it was defeated, which is very unfortunate. view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: I am sorry. It has not been defeated. If Jakoyo Midiwo’s Bill is still a property of this House, it is one of the things that will regulate and give us the answers that we are now asking for.

At the same time, the Leader of the Majority Party had a good idea about betting. As a sportsman, in the sports industry we are the greatest beneficiaries of the betting ... view

• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. First and foremost, as we look at this Bill, we also need to take cognisance of local revenue generated by the counties. It is important for us to see the charges that they levy. From the 31 or so per cent that has been given to county governments, it is important that when they collect their own money, they stop overtaxing and overcharging or double-taxing the view
