• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I know you are not a man who can be intimidated. Neither am I. I know there are forces out there and one of them is the Member who has just spoken. They have tried to intimidate you in media houses and on social media that they will bring an impeachment Motion. Why not try and bring that impeachment Motion so that we see it? In fact, I saw the Secretary-General of one of the smallest political parties, a village party called Jubilee Party, namely, Kioni, saying that he will bring that Motion of impeachment. There is nobody who can ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: you see Didmus Barasa here with that cap, when you see Osoro is also present, know that you have defence forces with you. I support this Petition. We should look into all land issues. We have the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report. There is a lot of land, especially in our region, like the Kedong Ranch which should also be looked into because we were lied to that it was bought from W azungu . How can you buy land from a M zungu ? Is there a M zungu that was a Maasai? The issue of land ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: They said we are wet! view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support and urge Members to support the amendment. During party primaries, when it is considered final, you cannot party-hop. You must remain in that party. We may go back to the Kenya African National Union (KANU) days. We will have dictatorial parties. You can see what is happening now. The political party that was very huge called Jubilee is now in bed with the opposition and because of that, we are missing milk, fuel and water. The only available thing in Kenya is alcohol. However, other products are missing. We have no milk in shelves, ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: So, people have that window to go and be independent candidates. We will have many Members as independents who do not belong to political parties. Contestants will not be intimidated within political parties. Remember how we have been intimidated for almost four years in the Jubilee party. It is when we have got a leeway to get out of it because elections are around the corner. I support so that members can have that window. In fact, I wish it was a window of 20 days. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: As we agree on this amendment, because it is very straightforward, I wonder: Suppose, we have 300 independent candidates for Parliament and 1,000 independent candidates for county assemblies, and all of them have to have symbols, do you not think that all the symbols that are available in the world will be finished? I am just wondering. I support the amendment because it is straightforward, but I am just wondering so that Hon. Kimunya can advise me in private. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment fully because it is very good. Thank you very much, Leader of the Majority Party, although you pushed it to the Vice-Chairman, Hon. T. J. Kajwang’. This is an affirmative action top up which needs to be for affirmative action groups. It should be a breeding ground for future leaders. If you are in Homa Bay County and you are nominated in Lamu County, how will we breed you up, so that you can contest a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) seat in one of those wards ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: It is like the affirmative action seats of the women representatives which you benefitted from, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. After two terms, you are so honourable. You said that you would retire and then leave this affirmative action slot that was given to you, so that another woman from Narok County can benefit from the same and profile herself. You profiled yourself to the level of the Chairperson’s Panel. You almost became the Governor of Narok County because you are so honourable enough to leave the woman representative position for another woman in Narok County. This amendment is the same. ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment a 100 per cent. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also rise to support this amendment, especially against the backdrop of strengthening of political parties. In as much as we would like independent Members to run, we want a situation in this country where we can run on ideological basis but not for the convenience of just winning or at the whims of certain politicians. view
