• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Women are first of all daughters and sisters. They are then wives and mothers and caregivers. They go through a lot to ensure children have food to eat. They even provide roofs over the children’s heads and give them good education. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I, therefore, wish to commend women of this country for the many sacrifices that they make. Currently, women in Kenya comprise 56 per cent of the population, but continue to face challenges in economic, social and political empowerment. The situation is even worse for women with disabilities. I take this opportunity to celebrate the great women of Kenya who have worked so tirelessly to secure the freedoms that we enjoy today. For instance, Her Excellency Margret Kenyatta, Her Excellency Rachel Ruto, Hon. Phoebe Asiyo, Dr. Ida Odinga, Hon.

• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. Pursuant to Standing Order 43, I wish to make a Statement regarding ease of access to the up-coming Bus Rapid Transport System (BRT) for persons with disabilities. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for many years, persons with disabilities have been marginalised in the provision of the necessary facilities to enable them to access various services. The transport sector for instance, has not provided access to user-friendly modes of transport. There are no pavements, bus stops, ramps, hydraulic systems and signals for the blind to ensure that persons with disabilities can use various transport options. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: This has affected persons with disabilities to conduct their businesses and engage in their work. I, therefore, urge the Government officials to ensure that the incoming BRT system caters for the unique requirements of persons with disabilities in terms of spacious pavements, signals for the blind, hydraulic systems and ramps, among many other features. This would ensure that accessibility by the physically challenged is guaranteed. view
