• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: When we talk about gender issues, for a very long time, people thought gender is women. It has been something that has been confusing people for a long time. It is time people are made aware so that when we discuss gender, it is both male and female, so that it is never mistaken with just women. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: At the moment, when we talk about gender issues, all the time it is about women because of the challenges and vulnerability that women have in the country and even the world. We need to remember that the challenges that we have currently, as much as women are affected, we are focusing so much on the girl-child to a point that I am starting to think we are forgetting the boy- child. Since we think gender is female, when we talk about anything gender, we talk about female. At the moment, we are taking our children back to school from ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: So, for me, the Report is good, but the biggest work that we have a country or as a Government or even as a House, is to create awareness so that people can be informed that when discussing gender, it is not about girls or women, but it is both men and women, so that we can achieve what we want. The two-third gender rule is not going anywhere because even in Parliament, we still mistake it. That is why we cannot pass that law. I support it in principle, but let us put our efforts on awareness. The electronic ... view

• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No. 198/2020 which is directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: (i) Why has the Ministry failed to upgrade to bitumen standards the Ravine-Sigoro- Ochi Road in Eldama Ravine Constituency, Baringo County, which is currently in a deplorable state? (ii) What plans have been put in place to have the said road upgraded to bitumen standards and what is the project completion timeline? view

• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had lost hope of contributing, but thank you so much. The funds that have been allocated to counties are causing a lot of trouble, especially for the Departmental Committee on Health. Sometimes we find ourselves a bit helpless. It was important for the Budget and Appropriations Committee to also tell us whether they interrogated and found out how much money the counties had already allocated to COVID-19 before giving out the Kshs5.8 billion. We cannot be allocating funds left, right and centre, as if the funds they had already allocated are nothing to ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: given an additional Kshs84 million. That amounts to Kshs284million. Do we see the funds benefitting the people? If you walk around your constituency or the county, do you see the money? We have to see something that shows there are funds being used for mitigating COVID-19. We have a lot to do as a House. If we are really overseeing those funds, it is important that we get into the details. Nowadays, we talk of billions as if they were just a coin. I heard of billions the other day. The late Hon. Michuki - may his soul rest in ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I support the Motion with a lot of reservations. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to those of my colleagues. I take this opportunity to thank the Almighty God for giving Kenya this opportunity through the President and other players to make Kenya a member of the United Nations Security Council. Many people are wondering why some of the countries we believed would support us did not. That should not be something that we keep deliberating on. We need to move on and thank God because we have been given the opportunity. The key mandate of the United Nations Security Council is to ... view
