• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank you for this opportunity to reply to my Bill. This Bill has been extremely timely in ensuring that we have it on board. I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. She is my comrade. We have fought this battle with her fully. Officially, we can be called ‘Mr. and Mrs. Disability’ because we are the ones who would shout and parrot and say anything matters disability. We believe in this cause. In any case, we are the shoe wearers. We know it means to be discriminated against directly, indirectly and systematically. Mr. ... view

• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: then, went through other political parties like Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) where we created the PwDs league. Initially when I went there I was told to be an observer and to forward my ilk. We went ahead and influenced the 2010 Constitution to create the special seats that we currently occupy, yet political parties tend to think that these seats are meant for them and that they are tokens of patronage. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: I want to say categorically that representation of PwDs is a matter of right. The accruing of human rights being inalienable, indivisible and interdependent so applies to those who became different as age goes by. I want to remind everyone that disability is a club anyone can be a member. In any case, as you gracefully, many people tend to be disabled. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: When we are making this clarion call, we are not trying to seek sympathy or the easy way out. Right now, am fighting the battle of my life to be MP for Ruiru. It is an abrasive battle, but I am the leading candidate against all odds. I have heard to put more work than my competitors. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: I have been on the ground. Some of them have come very late, but I believe this time round I will be elected the MP for Ruiru Constituency. One would ask why not Senator? You cannot say Women Representative. I cannot wait to be nominated again. I want to have a position like any other Kenyan elected in Parliament. We know the most entrenched position in Parliament is that of the National Assembly (NA) Member. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: It has never been swept like the Senate so it is, therefore, more entrenched since 1963. With our hustler nation’s United Democratic Alliance(UDA) clarion call where we are championing for 100 million for every constituency for the bottom-up economic model, we will be able to empower businesses of PwDs and every other person and just to demonstrate that PWDs with disabilities do deserve to be in the mainstream. view
• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: I believe that this Bill is extremely important. It is a Bill that is going to be a game-changer. I ask every other person who is concerned to make sure we have an opportunity to prove to all and sundry that PwDs are extremely important people in society. If you look at the various provisions of law in this country relating to PwDs, the truth of the matter is that most of them have not been properly represented. For those of us who are in politics we have got to know that when you are a PwD it is not ... view

• 10 Mar 2022 in Senate: world go around and an interesting place to be. In the end, we will stand vindicated as PWDs. We have to look at ourselves and to prove to the society that we are valid people. We have something to contribute even when politics does not always follow logic. This is because logic is not apparent to everyone. For example, it would become very easy for the society to understand that when you support a PWD you are empowering the society and depriving the society of that sense of dependency. We have been discriminated, thrown and tossed about. We know for ... view
