• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Let me also add my voice and heart to sending my condolences to the family of the late, my friend Senator Otieno Kajwang’. It has been said here that the father of Senator Kajwang’ also got a shock and got a heart attack on receipt of the news of his demise. I spoke to people who are at his bedside in Kisumu and they said he is well and recovering: That is by way of information that he is doing well. On Friday, Senator Kajwang’ was involved in a road accident; a serious one. His car, ... view

• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: want the family to stay and be protected by the power of the Lord during these trying times. Hon. Speaker, I have only one last thing: As you have said in your Communication, hon. Kajwang’ was a good person to have on one’s side politically. I remember when the former Prime Minister said “ Kibaki Tosha ”, I saw the true element of hon. Kajwang’ in that campaign. In fact, when we campaigned all over Nyanza, hon.

• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I realise that time is limited. Let me plead with my colleagues to stop lamenting.

How is it that if I was a policeman and a picture is flashed on television, I can know that is so and so? ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Rape is rape, whether it is stripping a woman her pair of jeans or tights; it is wrong. We need to stand up and address the issues as a House. It would be nice in a session like this for us to give Kenyans hope. What are we going to do? I have just been looking at the Sexual Offences Act and I am going to be proposing changes. There is no way you can do something like what happened in Mombasa and today in Nairobi without facing a death penalty. These are people who do not belong in society. ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Let us kill them. Let me tell Members of Parliament that if the police have refused to do their work, we should do ours. I want to plead with hon. Shebesh, because I know she is a strong legislator that if this happens in Nairobi and she knows the stage, if the police are not doing their work, she should take the law in her hands to protect women. Two months ago, a young lady who rides a motorbike in Yala went to fuel at night, but the fuel station was closed. She went to keep her motorcycle in Yala ... view
