• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I also want to deal with this Bill with literally my everything. Just to allay the fears of my sister, Hon. Cecilly Mbarire, the next governor for Embu, there is no reason for God to have mercy on her. Where we are is when we think gender as a woman issue. When we begin talking about gender, we begin forgetting that we are all sons and brothers of women. Some of us are husbands of women. Those who are not husbands are lovers of women. All of us are husbands of women. Some of us are very good friends of ... view
• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I want to request for sobriety from all Members. This matter went to the Supreme Court which, in its wisdom, sent it back to Parliament. This is not a Constitution-making House; it is a legislation-making House. The Constitution was telling us to go back and legislate in a manner that would enable this issue to be implemented. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am saying this so that we take ourselves away from the thinking that the solution to the situation in which we find ourselves in terms of implementing the one- third gender principle can only be in the Constitution.

• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: in order to do this thing in the manner contemplated by Article 27 and the Supreme Court decision.

• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a very serious point. I never mentioned the word “beautiful” but if I did, it was not appropriate. You should not see the beauty of your sister in this House and so, I withdraw. I was talking in terms of what some Members are imagining they will put in the legislation.
