• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The men of the 11th Parliament have supported every Bill that has come to the Floor of the House that relates to gender matters and matters that strengthen women, people with disabilities and minorities in this country. I am sure that this Bill will be no exception. As they usually support other pieces of legislation, they will support this Bill as well. I would like to thank my male and female colleagues. Let us support this Bill and bring up the women of Kenya. Let us stand up for the women who wake up very early to vote for all ... view

• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Jakoyo is my Minority Leader whom I respect. I agree with him many times, but today I do not. He has stated many times about vehicles and money. He has been misleading this House and in turn the nation that Women Representatives were bought vehicles and given money outside the law. I would like to clear the air and say that the vehicles that are in the counties for the Affirmative Action Fund are part of the Public Finance Management (PFM) regulations on the Affirmative Action Fund. These vehicles were not a favour from ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: vehicles. Just like the CDF has vehicles to help in running the CDF programmes, the same way affirmative action has vehicles to help in running affirmative action programmes. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not belong to the Committee on Implementation but I remember a couple of weeks ago they gave a Report on the Floor of the House on the status of resolutions. That, at least, shows that they are working on something. The last point on sanctions must be really looked at seriously. What sanctions are we going to impose on these Cabinet Secretaries and Ministries? The Committee must propose very specific sanctions on resolutions that are not implemented and very specific resolutions such as what we want to pass now and what has ... view

Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that cancer is a leading cause of death globally with more than 70% of all cancer deaths occurring in developing countries; further aware that in Kenya, the disease ranks third among the main causes of death after The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: About 60 per cent of Kenyans affected by cancer are below 70 years old. We, sometimes, sit back and imagine that cancer is a disease of older people.
