• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I had a moment to be observer No.36 at the Bomas as we sought to hear view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: voice and to see how to bring a difference. I thank God that I was an observer, but now I am in Parliament. Indeed, as all Members have said, I sit here not only on my own accord, but speaking and exercising authority on behalf of the public. Therefore, as I support this Bill, I do so because the promoters clearly want to resolve issues of divisive elections. We can talk about leadership which is influence. We can talk about politics which is how we engage in activities to determine how we choose to govern our country, world and organisations. ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: tried many different avenues. I know we are aware that we are at an important constitutional moment. It is true we need to look at the legal angle and that we need to use law as a system of rules which will be the basis of governing, regulating or ordering what we do in our country to achieve the desired result. It is clear that we do not want to exclude anyone from fulfilling their interest or rights merely on any grounds of discrimination. Our Constitution prohibits discrimination on any grounds, be it gender, youth, age or ability. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: When I look at this constitutional amendment Bill, I am encouraged that having looked at the manner in which there has not only been a constitutional stipulation, but also a manner in which there has been demonstrated ability of those who presented themselves to the electorate, who have come to perform their role, it is in this constitutional amendment Bill that we would want to go beyond what we had before. This amendment Bill is seeking to give us practical tools, so that in a way, we are not burdening women with guilt and shame when the only way they ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: However, it is important that we see the spirit of this Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill that seeks to ensure that we do not get young girls and women imagining that the only way they are going to get into positions of leadership is by nomination. As I say this, I seek to clarify the misinterpretation and perception out there. This Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill clearly indicates that as a country that has realised that there are challenges in the elections, intimidating language is used to discourage very capable stoic politicians from rising to be elected. I do not ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Contrary to what has been focussed on, that we are going to have a bloated Parliament, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 seeks to have women brought to Parliament as top-ups. It isolates political parties as a very important route in this regard. In the morning, our colleague, Hon. Mose, indicated that we would not want to force political parties to get women to positions they are not. If we look at the statistics and pick any political party, we will find that the gender that will be represented more, if one is looking for gender, is likely to ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because as we enable political parties to ensure that they observe the one-third gender rule, we will also be addressing issues related to corruption. The cost we are talking about is going to be handled and the most important representation will be wholesome. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. In view of time, I would like to just emphasis on two issues. First, I thank you because you already referred to it. It is a challenge that those who are the representatives of the people and who also would be the ones performing oversight on Government, are in a way indicating that we have already been vaccinated. I was vaccinated today. I must say that part of the reason why it took me long is that I had a lot of difficulty understanding how I ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As I support, I want to conclude by saying that Kenyans have a lot of capacity. In my county of Siaya, as a result of public-private partnership (PPP), we have a plant producing oxygen. This is a critical drug, not just with regard to how we deal with COVID-19, but also with pneumonia in children. Therefore, I feel as Hon. Members we need to ensure we push the Government and our scientists to engage. Also, we will spend time in committees getting reports and communicating effectively with the people. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
