• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. It is good that hon. Malulu Injendi has re-directed his request to our Committee. I want to assure him that we have discussed the matter, and that the Report is actually ready. We were at a Committee meeting in Mombasa where we discussed the pyramid schemes saga. We have the Nyenze Report. We have come up with our own report. We will be able to provide that report within the next one week. I should be able to communicate to the Vice- Chairperson of our Committee. So, we should be able to get the ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to state that I oppose. The Constitution of this country is very clear. With all due respect to this Constitution, Article 250(4) talks about the composition of members in any commission in this country. I want to read it:- “Appointments to commissions and independent offices shall take into account the national values…and the principle that the composition of the commissions and offices, taken as a whole, shall reflect the regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya.” view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: This afternoon, we have just approved the appointment of Florence Nyokabi who is 60 years old. This is a shame to the youth of this country. It is a shame to the people with disabilities in this country. We are coming here to talk about members who, to me, seem to come from a certain region of this country. Where is the face of this country? We are here to approve the appointment of Kagwiria, the appointment of Jedida Wakonyo and we are rejecting the appointment of just one Lempaa. To me, it is completely unconstitutional. I really oppose. view

• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not know what region means. Maybe, I do not understand. We are talking about GEMA here. I am talking about GEMA here--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am talking about regional representation. I stand in this House as one person who comes from a minority community. I have never--- I look forward to an opportunity and a day that this Government of Jubilee will deliberately pick persons from the minority communities to represent this country. That is why it is very painful. To me, the Constitution is clear. I am not seeing the face of Kenya. We have approved this one, the other and we are yet to approve another one. We are becoming a House of approvals--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my concern again is on the issue of inequality that I am consistently seeing in appointments to parastatals, commissions and everywhere. I also see a hidden hand. Why did the Committee allow us to have a name here of Lempaa? Who sneaked his name in? Why are we even discussing him? How did his name just leak into this? Then we are coming to disagree and reject it. Someone is fixing the Jubilee Government and the President. How do we handle this? How do we find a name here that the Committee had not seen or sent to ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. I want to declare today that I am also one of the Members who will soon be tying the knot. Since I will be tying the knot, this Bill has come at the right time. It is giving me and many other people in this country, and especially our children and our children’s children an opportunity to decide the destiny of their unions. This Bill recognizes the various forms of marriages. It gives us the option to make choices. We know that definitely choices have consequences. This Bill recognizes Christian marriages. ... view
