• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me cite another example. Governors are saying that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money is supposed to go into development. You saw what happened in Kisumu today. Some governors were showing CDF projects and claiming them to be theirs, yet they have done nothing. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Let me tell you that is not enough. Let me cite an example in my county. All the CDF money for six constituencies is Kshs500 million. In Turkana County Kshs500 million is entertainment allowance for the Governor. How can an entertainment allowance compete with Kshs9.2 billion? Surely, which amount are Kenyans supposed to ask for: Is it Kshs9.2 billion or Kshs500 million for entertainment? We should not add money to where we have not got value from.

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. For the first time, I support the women of Kenya. I am a Member of Parliament and this House is there to comfort the marginalised and the minority. The Bible says very clearly without a formula “go and multiply”.

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was a slip of the tongue. I wanted to say that I support women more. I understand very clearly and the Constitution gives me the intellectual freedom to exercise my wisdom. God began creation. He was just launching the process of creation. He did not finish it. From the wisdom that God provided to human beings, we have spectacles and vehicles. God did not create vehicles. It is human beings, through the wisdom that God gave them, that are creating vehicles. With the technology that we have, we have the freedom to continue with procreation. ... view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to provide more information to the Member who has just spoken. To be sincere, between a man and a woman, who feels a lot of pain when there is no child? It is the lady. That is the truth. I do not know how it is in her culture, but in my culture, the woman feels a lot more pain when she cannot bear a child. There are men and women who do not have children. This Parliament must provide a solution to this problem. One of the ways we can provide a solution ... view
