• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this chance to support the Bill. I was elected directly in a constituency. I support this Bill for the simple reason that Kenyans passed this Constitution in 2010. We all came here. We took the Bible or the Quran and we swore to guide and protect the Constitution. We need to support it so that it is amended and we can be here legally. This is a long journey that we started in the women’s movement. If these Members will allow us, it is just near fruition. We all know how we came here. ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is doable. It has happened and it can happen. I wish to plead with Kenyans; that when women offer themselves for elections, please consider them because they have seen those who have been here have done their job. We can do it well and many more can do it. Even at the family level, my dear brothers who are here know that we run their homes. We are good managers. We can manage the economy, the country and all spheres of life. We have helped you raise families economically. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support and beg my brothers to support this Bill so that we remove hurdles for women. It has been here three or four times. Let us deal with it. We have got where we are but we are not there yet. Let us support this Bill. God bless you. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a few minutes. I may not utilise all the five minutes. Just like you have said, this is a learning process. Some of us thought this is a bush plant and it just grows. Some of us did not know that this is a cash crop in that region.

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: you will see handcarts with coconut. I love the juice. Nevertheless, we are getting to know and I want to thank Hon. Baya for educating us. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Agriculture is the mainstay and coconut is what is grown in Kilifi. If this is the plant that will empower the people of Kilifi economically, it is something that as a House, we must support. I like coconut rice but as I said, we never sat down to think what exactly empowers the people of Kilifi. We are returning pyrethrum in Naivasha and Nakuru, potatoes for Nyandarua, coffee and view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: in other places. If this is the crop that the coast people need, funded by the Government, this is something that we must support. The value addition of coconut is something that the county representative has really educated me on. I use coconut oil but back in my mind, I do not think about whether it is the coconut that we see on the cart or there is another coconut. This is very important that coconut be included in the category of plants purposely for empowering the coast people. When you see those men climbing up there, you would think ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Being a resident of Kilifi, I know Mheshimiwa cannot wake up and propose something that does not add value to his people and the people of the coast region. As we support it, we will know a lot more about mnazi . view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank Hon. Mishi for tabling a Motion which is very dear to my heart. It is a reality that we have a problem in this country. As leaders, we are the ones who are approached by people who need those facilities or who need our help. In the 9th Parliament, I put up a facility for persons with disabilities. It is called the Disability Resource Information Centre (DRIC). It is working and people come to get the resources they need. Unfortunately, it did not take up with the vibe I would ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I used to have a Christmas caravan which would take me to the ridges as I looked for children living with disabilities to give them Christmas gifts. It was a course I had undertaken. I would go to a certain ridge and find people who would tell me that there is, say, one disabled kid in the neighbouring ridge. It is because they had seen that I was interested in the course of helping disabled children. We need to structure our schools in such a way that they can accommodate the disabled children. Hon. Sankok said it. We need to ... view
