• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: in the United States of America (USA). So, information on your medical card, identity card and driving licence will all be in one card. If such a social card is well invested in, it could also enable us to reduce road carnage in the country. When you have a social card and you have criminal offence and it is registered on the card in terms of traffic offences, the Government will be in a position to ensure that we rid ourselves of drivers who should not be on our roads. When you lose your identity card or driving licence in ... view

• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Succession Act in Kenya is the only place where children who are born out of wedlock, and who are the majority of children in this country of ours, are looked after by the law. The Constitution says that there is no illegitimate child. When somebody puts a trust in place, it is normally with the intention to ensure that they lock out the children that they never provided for when they were alive. It is a shame that men are extremely irresponsible in our country. They are irresponsible in the sense that they father ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: to have 100 per cent surety that she will not get pregnant. If men do not want to have children, they can very well go and have a vasectomy.

• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: As I sat and listened to the Leader of the Majority Party, I felt a bit confused. As a House, we are here to look at the interests of every citizen, whether rich or poor. I know that this Kenya Deposit Insurance (Amendment) Bill wants to raise the amount from Ksh100,000 to Kshs1 million. What is Ksh100,000 today? It is nothing. It is good that we have moved it to Ksh500,000 and it will be repayable within one month. To be quite honest, when I looked at the people that lost money, for instance the most recent case is the ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The first thing I will say is that the variant is not called the Indian variant. It is called the Delta variant. The next thing is that I arrived on the last flight from India on 29th and I was at the airport. In spite of the fact that we were mandated by the Government to have a PCR test before we boarded the flight, when we landed here we were isolated at the airport because it was the last flight coming from India. We were tested again in Kenya. So, they did not just take ... view

• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know when you are being attacked for all manner of issues and you are not as guilty as you are, it throws you off balance. Hon. Sankok today attacked me on various issues including saying that I was being sandwiched or I was sandwiching. view
