• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have already taken my minute. I want us to use this opportunity to correct the mess that some of the cultures have done to us. It is an injustice and discriminative to us. I want to say this without fear: Yes, FGM has caused many divorce cases in areas where it is practised but, again, as Millie has said, as a result of FGM we have women who are going to do reconstructive surgeries right now.

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues to congratulate my Chair for the job well done. As a member and Vice-Chair of that Committee, I am impressed with the Report from the Chair. It is not easy to go to 18 police stations. The circumstances are not easy. Police officers are human beings like us. It is not easy for them to secure our borders, enforce law and order and, at the same time, work during a difficult pandemic. Hon.

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: number of officers to enforce law and order in that kijiji . It is really a big challenge. It is high time that the Ministry prioritized the lives of our officers because we are depending on them. If they are not there, we are done. What are we talking about?
