• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this amendment Bill by my sister, Hon. Florence. This is a well thought out Bill. I quite agree with Hon. Kang’ata, although he is walking out, that some of these issues should be looked at very critically on cultural value. I know sometimes back, when we were growing up, we were sleeping with our grandparents. I had the opportunity and privilege of staying in the evenings with my grandfather. Similarly, my older and younger sisters used to sleep with their grandmothers and some of these things were ... view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think the cultural values were very important and how we brought up the children. They were disciplined. My sisters and cousins were brought up very well. We never had this question of rape. Look at the current cases where children put on dresses that are very suggestive. As we look at it, we are also ignoring that we are human beings. Girls put on very suggestive dresses. Yesterday but one, I was in a church and I was not amused. A church preacher had put on clothes that were not really befitting her as The ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: a church person. We have that problem. The culture is how the parents brought up the children. Therefore, I do not agree with the fact that we should actually go to the schools to teach sex. I think culture should be emphasised in this amendment. When it comes to the Committee of the whole House, we should insert that bit so that we understand. I agree with the case where we are saying police stations should have units that deal with these sex offenders. It is true. Today, you and I have heard cases where a child who has been ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I am sorry about it. I withdraw that remark, if somebody is offended. But that is the exact meaning. We should improve on transport--- view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I do not know what that means, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will leave it to him. All I am saying is, in a congested public transport--- view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I will proceed. The other thing is the third party getting into negotiation to avert justice. That is quite in order. We have had cases where parents of the victims; be it a boy-child or a girl-child get involved. In my opinion, that punishment is lenient and we should raise it to 20 years. The Bill is talking about five years and a fine of Kshs500,000. We have had cases where children are victims and the parents on either side try to negotiate at The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: the expense of children who are traumatised and will never forget the act in their lifetime. Some irresponsible parents go to the extent of negotiating with the offender either through the churches, friends or elders. That should be stopped. I quite agree with the Mover of this amendment that it should be stopped because the offender will go scot-free and that will not stop him from doing the same act with another person next time. That should be punishable. I would like to raise the other issue that sometimes we have women taking care of children at home. That was ... view
