• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This matter is very serious and, many times, it even exposes the Chairs and Vice- Chairs of Departmental Committees. This is the frustration they all have. I sympathise with my sister Hon. Sabina. Hon. Speaker, I think it is high time you gave a ruling on this matter. This is because CSs are too full of themselves and disregard committees. Without giving clear reasons, they do not appear before committees when they are invited. We are frustrated and, at times, we do not know how to move and work. This matter ... view

• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is Hon. Sankok in order to mislead the nation and the House by claiming that the position of County Woman Representative has been moved from the National Assembly to the Senate? In fact, those are new seats that have been created for women. It is a gain for the women in Kenya because they will have equal voting rights. As per now, women are not voting. So, he must withdraw and should not mislead Kenyans. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I thank the Chair of the Committee. I congratulate him for a job well done and for bringing such a critical matter on gender and the Kenyan women. This Sessional Paper is very important. There is a lot of diversity. It is talking about diversity and empowering women and the girl child. Where I come from, there is a lot of discrimination in terms of one gender being empowered and another, more so the women, not being empowered. Look at Parliament and the Government. The institutions which are led by women, ... view

• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you see the hypocrisy I was talking about. Look at Hon. Sankok who is now castigating women who have performed better. I can give you facts, my friend. The brain behind the NYS and Huduma Centre Project was a woman and she performed very well. The NYS Jiko Kwa Wamama Project in all the slums was done by a woman. You know the contributions the former Minister for Lands, who is now a governor, Hon. Charity Ngilu, made. You know what she did when she streamlined that ministry. Currently, as a governor, Kitui is the one ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us be honest with each other. This Sessional Paper is very important. It has come when we have a conversation in this country. All I can see in this Sessional Paper is the conversation that today we are engaged in and having as a country moving forward. Talking about women accessing land or matrimonial property, different people have different cultures and that is a fact. However, there are people who use culture more than religion. The religion I come from regards women highly and protects them. It recognises the women’s ability to own property. People ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: No, it is part of my contribution and I am guided, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, but it will not be right if I do not appreciate the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: conversation that we are having that will empower women. What we are talking about here is women empowerment and gender. As a woman who represents thousands of women, I must say this is a good conversation and let us not mislead Kenyans. Women for 50 years have been fighting for a third representation in this House. Right now, we have it. So, going forward, I will want all the ministries and even county governments to make sure that gender is promoted and women are supported across. Whether you are from one region or the other, let us not use culture ... view
