• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I truly want to thank hon. Odhiambo for this Bill. We have worked closely with her in the Ministry and other stakeholders to see its birth. This Bill is long overdue. It will help us to take care of our children, especially the young girls and also Kenyan women. Currently, Kenya has no comprehensive law or policy addressing the issues of human trafficking. So, this Bill is long overdue. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill tries to address the issues which are missing in the legislation on counter-trafficking. It also tries to address issues ... view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think this Bill is long overdue and especially for people coming from Mt. Kenya because men in this region are an endangered species just because of alcohol. Every type of alcohol that is brewed in this Republic is brought to Central Kenya. We, 25 Wednesday, 7th April, 2010(A) the politicians, are actually the ones who run the bars there. So, I hope that when this Bill comes into operation, we will ensure that alcohol is not consumed anyhow. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a sneak preview of the census of last year indicated ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this amendment because we have issues of old men wanting to marry girls, who are aged below 18 years. We must include this amendment in this Draft Constitution. view

That is why we felt that the Gender Commission had to be separated from the Human Rights Commission. However, since this House has shown that it has no faith in what we are doing, I wish to withdraw my proposal of insertion of a New Part. God forgive us all! view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of section 33(4) of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, 2008, this House approves the Draft Constitution submitted by the Committee of Experts and laid on the table of the House on Tuesday, 2nd March, 2010, subject to the amendment of Article 26 by deleting articles (2), (3) and (4). view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to appeal to Members of Parliament and Kenyans at large, especially the clergy, that deleting articles 2, 3 and 4 is a must. Clause 1 of Article 26 clearly addresses the right to life of every person in Kenya. It reads: “Every person has the right to life.” That sums it all and all other issues should be addressed through Acts of Parliament for the following reasons. The Committee of Experts in their report indicated that the Christians, the Muslims, traditionalists and scientists were not in agreement on when life starts. But I want ... view

• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are in no way advocating or legitimizing abortion. We need to enact Acts of Parliament that will take care of our women. I know that all of you are fathers. You owe a responsibility to your girls, wives, mothers and sisters. view
