• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for allowing me to speak before you. I was outside and I did not know I will enter the House. However, by God’s grace, I have. Thank you for allowing me to speak even thought I did not come with my card. I want to thank you for your sagacious ruling. It, indeed, has set a path for all of us. As you know, we are all creatures of political parties, including you, Hon. Speaker. There are very few Members of Parliament who are not creatures of political parties.

• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: is because of my political party ODM and my party leader Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. My party has made me to be heard in this Republic as Hon. Janet Ong’era.

Junet said, this Minister does not seem to have a clue on how he should treat parents and teachers. He thinks we are patients. As to whether he was appointed by the President, there is ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to make my contribution to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I support the Bill. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making a very wise and sagacious ruling that this is a popular decision and must go to the people.

• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: speak about a constitutional moment we must be alive to the things that we need to look at. We should be able to leave a good legacy that people will remember us for as legislators. I agree that we needed, perhaps, to have consulted IEBC on developing this schedule for the constituencies.
