• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Before His Excellency the President lifted the measures, there was a summit where all counties were asked to give their state of preparedness. On whether they had oxygen and ICU beds, it was reported that they had so many ICU beds. If you go to the counties now, do we really have those ICU beds and are they functional? If you have an NHIF card and they offer to pay for you, what would they be paying for? I am speaking from experience because in Homa Bay County, people are really sick. Do we have facilities to deal with this ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Sessional Paper on National Gender and Development. When President Obama visited Kenya when he was the sitting President of the United States of America (USA), he said that to have a team and only have half of your members play is a folly of the century.

• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I would like to proceed by saying that equality of opportunity in decision-making is a very important fact for us moving forward.

• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Sankok is a very sharp Member of this House. Actually, he makes contributions on every matter on the Floor of the House. However, his discussion of the gains of women within the BBI Report is out of place because he is misinformed. I think he is part of the team of scientists that is yet to complete reading the BBI Report. Since Hon. Sankok speaks so well on matters of disability and gender, we are allies. Let him stick to the issues he knows about and has read about. We will not bother to interrupt ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: (Homa Bay (CWR), ODM); Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say this on the Floor of this House because we brought the HANSARD here. Every moment there was a vote, I was on the HANSARD as having voted for the… view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. The PIC has to do a very thorough job always because Hon. Speaker was the Chairman of the Committee. Therefore, he looks at their reports with a fine- tooth comb. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I served in the Committee when we were doing this Report.

I agree with you totally on that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
