• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank you for this opportunity. I think this cannot end without my voice. Young people in this country remain unemployed and underpaid in their jobs. I support the sports academies and stadia. I remember the Jubilee Government in its manifesto talked about building a stadium in every county. Most of these stadia are yet to be actualised. The fact that we want to bring this down to the constituency level is very easy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to urge the Members to support this because I want to bring an amendment on the issue of having designated areas in the stadia for youths with disabilities. I want to urge this House that as we move forward to establish these stadia and sports academies in our constituencies, we should also note that we have youths living with disabilities that are talented in sports in almost every constituency. Therefore, while we plan in the various constituencies, we should allocate money to make the stadia accessible to youths living with disabilities who want to participate in sports. That ... view

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman or this opportunity. It is important honourable ladies have their voice when we are discussing such serious issues as taxation and money. You need to be looking at us because we also talk about serious monies here. I am opposing. For the sake of our children and our young people who have found themselves in gaming and betting, this taxation should be high to foreigners who have pitched all these companies everywhere, even in the estates. What we should be talking about is not deleting. We are not talking about deleting this 35 ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity. Allow me to thank the budget committee. This is a Budget that is really inclusive. I also want to take this opportunity to say that I am happy that the budget committee visited my county. You are aware that I represent persons with disabilities. You are also aware that I am the immediate woman representative of Migori County. I was very happy to see the budget committee in my county at least looking at the issues that we looked at in the last Parliament like the issue of ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: because of some rich, well-to-do people who masquerade as young people. They have eaten into NYS budget. That is why we are reducing the budget of NYS. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not happy and I am sure our young people are unhappy as well because their budget has been reduced. This money should have been reallocated to another fund which would touch the people in our constituencies and especially the youth who are the majority. I want to urge the Budget and Appropriations Committee to not only cut and reduce the NYS budget but look at how to ... view

• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. As you are aware, I am also an entrant into the disability caucus. For those of you who do not know, I joined the disability caucus in the last Parliament. I feel very privileged that we have an opportunity to talk about issues of disability. I want to tell all the male Members of Parliament who are seated here today that if your wife is not disabled, then your in-law or your brother is disabled. Disability is in your constituencies and counties. I urge Members in this House, ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for a very long time, we have used wrong phrases to refer to disability. We do not say “this person is disabled” or “this person is deaf”. We should use the correct phrase and say “this person is abled differently”. If you look at me, I am not disabled. I am abled differently. I perform my role in a different way from you. Even the words we use to refer to persons with disabilities are not appropriate. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing this issue. It is high time, even as we discuss issues ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I wish to quickly say that one of the things I want to support as KEDIPA--- That is because as Members who have disability in this Parliament, we are coming together to look at ways of enhancing the living standards of our people, who are a huge population. We do not have enough data about persons living with disabilities. As we speak here, there is no Member who can tell you how many people with disabilities they have in their constituencies. It is an area that is completely ignored. I support and ask the Leader of the Majority Party or ... view
