• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: this, we have so many PWDs who basically come from the counties. I had suggested to have a representation of PWDs; even one. I do not know why the Committee… view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Chairman. I also want to quickly thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. He has worked hard on this Bill. My quick concern is that as we transition, we should quickly look at the issue of the former councillors. I am still bringing in their issue because they have a lot of money which is pending. We are quickly transitioning to this new scheme that is about to take effect. We should move in quickly and settle their wars, so that they stop complaining. That will be extremely good. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Member for taking up this Bill that we have followed keenly. I thank you, Hon. Chairman. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute on this topic. Allow me to thank the Member for Busia for bringing this Motion for debate. I speak in this House as a product of a road accident. So, when such a Motion is brought, I am touched. I am happy that you have given me an opportunity to talk about this Motion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you are aware, we just came from a by-election in Migori where we now have a Senator. I was extremely happy to be celebrating a new Senator from ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the recent accident was the one in Kericho where over 50 Kenyans lost their lives. What are we not doing right as a country? I challenge the Members of Parliament and the leaders of this country to be serious. We cannot do everything all the time. Kenya has no shortage of laws when it comes to road usage. The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development has to tell us what it is doing to curb road carnage in this country. When you go to the National Spinal Cord Injury Centre in Nairobi, you find ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: When you drive from Nairobi to Narok through Mai Mahiu, you realise that all the rails are gone. Where did the rails on our roads go? The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing should look into the rails that were along the Mai Mahiu Road all the way to Narok. We are wiping and drying the tears of crying families. I send my condolences to those who lost their relatives in the road accident. As Government and Parliament, we have to be serious. We are tired of sending ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I am very bitter today. The disability world I belong to is already full due to road accidents. We do not want any more visitors. As a country, we have to be serious. How do we put rails on our roads? How do we ensure that our drivers are contracted and work within the provided timelines? What was the criteria of hiring the 72-year-old driver who caused the recent accident in Kericho? view

• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion by Hon. Janet Nangabo. Allow me to say that Hon. Janet Nangabo is speaking on behalf of so many millions of women and girls. I am happy because of the support that has come from Hon. Wanyonyi and Hon. Rono. Fistula is not a women’s issue only. Before I joined Parliament, I worked for the Population Council which is an international Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that does a lot of research on sexual reproductive health. Fistula is one of the issues that we tackled. ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: For those who do not know, fistula is a condition where you have a hole between the urethra and the vagina. Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) is a devastating condition that generally puts women in uncontrollable situations. Health is a devolved function in this country. Therefore, we want to ensure that we train more specialised surgeons who can handle fistula and reproductive health in rural settings.
