• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: am happy that Kenya is going to represent the African Continent in the UN. It is not a mean achievement. I am sure Kenya will use this opportunity to push and advocate for the ratification of the AU Disability Protocol at the UN level. That will be a huge benefit to the people with disabilities in the continent and the world. Kenya now sits strategically at that table. It is a global and a prestigious place. I am sure Kenya will address the issue of climate change. Persons with disabilities are affected by climate change. I want to see other ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Allow me to take this opportunity to thank the President and my country, Kenya, for getting that opportunity. Kenya joins the rest of world’s great giants that are actually able to advocate. We will be glad as a country to follow what our country Kenya will be advocating at the UN.

• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to weigh in on this matter. We are talking about the PSC.

• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I seek to move an amendment to the Motion on the establishment of an ad hoc Committee on COVID- 19 Prevention, Response and Management because of lack of inclusivity. This is simply because the Member of Parliament who has moved this Motion has blatantly forgotten to include Members representing persons with disabilities (PWDs).

• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: As you are aware, PWDs are actually bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic in this country. People living with disabilities are currently being disproportionately impacted and they are the most affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Parliament, we are responsible for constituting a committee and we cannot build an inclusive response if we are excluding some Members. view
