• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: parliamentary. I have talked about the winner takes it all. Again, this Bill will cure the issue of post-election violence because Kenyans are very peaceful. Before and after elections, we live in peace, intermarry, borrow sugar from one another, farm and work together and do everything together, including our ceremonies. It only happens that we have violence just after the announcement of the elections results. We have to be genuine to ourselves in as much as we know this Bill will cure this issue. We need to know who the single denominator of violence in this country is. He was ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Just to bring you to speed, I said that Kenya had violence in 1982. I was four years old at that time and there was somebody who was mentioned at that time. There was violence in 1997, 2007, 2013 and 2017. I said we cannot wait for hands to shake. For us to be peaceful as a country, we need to instill... Kalonzo Musyoka shook hands with Uhuru Kenyatta. Kalonzo Musyoka did shake hands with Kibaki.

• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think Hon. Mbadi did not hear when I said that the position of the Prime Minister should be left for a person with disability.

I had even proposed to the task force that we have an electoral college like the one in Uganda so that persons with disabilities come to this House as leaders who have been elected by persons with disabilities to represent them. This is so that the loyalty of a Member of Parliament does not only lie on ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to pass my sincere heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Hon. Paul Koinange. Hon. Speaker, you must have realised that I was a bit agitated when Hon. Washiali was saying that there are other potential candidates that God could have chosen from. He was staring at me. I got scared because this world is a bit beautiful and nobody has ever gone to heaven and reported to us how beautiful it is up there. So, on my own behalf, my family and persons living with disabilities that I represent ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. As you had rightfully put it, you do not have a vote as a Speaker. So, referring it to the relevant Committee is very important. To the Committee, ever since I came to this House, I have never seen such a petty and malicious Report that was not well thought-out. In my view, they did not do their ground work well because being a member of a board is not doing full employment. There are many parastatals. I was once a Chairman of a State corporation and we had ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: employment. Why are we punishing ladies? We are talking about two-thirds gender principle and yet, we are still punishing ladies. If this goes on, we will soon start punishing People with Disabilities (PWDs). This House should be aware that the President of Judiciary is now a lady and we must be very careful. I hope the Chairman of the Committee is listening. Hon. Speaker, lastly, who violated the Act? They are saying that she was not eligible for appointment, but did she appoint herself? We should punish the Cabinet Secretary (CS) who appointed her in case he broke the law. ... view
