• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I want to confirm to this House that the mistakes this lady made when she was acting was because she was not given an opportunity. Now, she has experience and she has understood that Members of Parliament cannot entertain anything that is not right. This is the time to prove them because it does not matter because if she misuses the opportunity the way Ms. Juma did, she knows very well that her fate will still lie with this House. Petitions are there. We are the people to bring Petitions and we are the people to dismiss them so we ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Even as we give her this opportunity, we want women wherever they are to know that when they are given an opportunity serve in an office, they must respect this House and continue respecting men because it is biblical.

• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: One of the best things that we have under the new constitutional dispensation is devolution. As we make law in this House, we have to consider devolution.

We should automatically have had 47 registration centres for marriages. Marriages are conducted in every county on a daily basis. Therefore, we have to make marriage affordable to even the poor Kenyan in Lokichar, Malindi and Maralal by ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Looking at these procedures, it is like the one who is marrying is paying dowry twice. First, you pay the Registrar of Marriages by complying with the procedures before you pay the real dowry. It is like you start to pay dowry by complying with the procedures, which should not have been the case. It is actually marginalising the one who is marrying. The man is the one marginalised.
