• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I stand guided. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Osotsi is out of order for keeping on saying that some of us, who are scientists, are slow learners and readers. Some of us read and understand. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I am not a slow reader. I read and understand unlike him, who reads as if he is reading the alphabets. No! view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. From the outset, I am happy to see Hon. Millie Odhiambo in the House. I do not know if she is through with her honeymoon in Naivasha or it was cut short. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Sessional Paper on representation of gender. It is from the Committee in which I sit. We have canvased it at length so that we have more women representatives in both the three arms of the Government. Hon. Sabina Chege has said that what a man can do, a woman can do better. We have witnessed this in ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am laughing because I have just understood that some of us are not only quick readers, but we do not also understand anything. The 290 constituencies have been retained in the BBI. There are additional 70 seats that the party lists will try and balance. The position of CWR has been removed and the NGAF will subsequently disappear. That is a fact that we have to face. The Senate will no longer have power over the revenue allocation formula. So, they cannot allocate resources and they cannot have cabinet secretaries. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This House is for all of us. We cannot have a section that can discuss the BBI at will and when I put my input, it becomes a problem. I am not a squatter in this House. I represent 6.5 million Kenyans living with disability. When I talk of gender issues, I know there are women with disabilities who also deserve these positions. When I talk of the slots that have been given in BBI, I talk with a lot of authority because I represent persons with disabilities. I do not want them to ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: not only condemning Parliament alone, but has addressed these issues broadly. In our parastatals, we need women and gender issues addressed. Our country is made up of team mafisi . We cannot have distribution of condoms in schools and in buses, but when it comes to sanitary towels, it is a problem to distribute them to the needy children who may drop out of school due to lack of sanitary towels. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Sessional Paper. Unless we are persuaded further, I will not support the BBI before I see the positions of women with disabilities. They should not be in the Senate where there will be no cabinet secretaries, the position of Prime Minister and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund. The party lists should not be played by parties, but should be mandatory to have representation of persons with disabilities of, at least, five per cent. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: You know this is a House of records. We cannot keep on misleading this House. If we say that ministries that have been led by women are the best performing, we should remember the infamous NYS. That ministry was led by a woman. We know the mafia in the Ministry of Health when Sicily Kariuki was the Cabinet Secretary. So, let us speak the truth. She is out of order. Let us not mislead the House. Women do better, but not in ministries. view
