• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to withdraw this amendment for the same reasons. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the Policy for the Eradication of Female Genital Mutilation. Sometimes, it is extremely important for us to understand the origins of where such things may have come from. In fact, the historical origins are traced back to Pharaonic Egypt. This has been evidenced by Egyptian mummies and supported by a Greek Papyrus in the British museums. If I stand here spiritually in a country in which the majority of us stem from the Abrahamic The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: covenant: Christians, Jews and Muslims, the covenant was for the circumcision of men and never for women. The Christian book states that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Every organ of our body has a purpose. The clitoris is the only organ of the body whose only function is pleasure. It is a scientific fact. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: It is the only organ that was created for pleasure. We must ask ourselves: Why is it that it must be removed? Is the sensuality and sexuality of a woman so incredibly overpowering and fearful for men? Having said that, I agree that it is important that, in as much as we educate our women, we also educate our men especially on the spiritual aspects of this terrible act. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. In 2017, our country, and more so the Jubilee Party supporters, were stunned when the Supreme Court annulled the presidential election results. Kenya became the fourth country in the entire world to have presidential election results annulled after Austria, the Maldives and Ukraine. Kenya was the first country in Africa to have presidential election results annulled. The country had to go through a second election cycle. The upheaval eventually cost the economy of this country Kshs1.7 trillion. After the second presidential election, the Supreme ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: at the front entrance to Harambee House. This culminated to the BBI process and the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: The Bill expresses the dreams and aspirations of the people of Kenya and where they want to go. They said they had witnessed violence since the advent of multiparty elections. Out of six elections, only two have had peaceful transitions since 1992. In this Bill, the people of Kenya have told us that they want regional integration and cohesion. The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 gives assurances that our nation will embrace the goals of African unity with eventual prosperity and stability for all. The people of Kenya told us that they want equitable opportunity for all Kenyans, which ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Indeed, the iconic American evangelist, Billy Graham, said: “A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to parents will not have true respect for anyone.” I hasten to add for anything. The fourth commandment of the Holy Bible tells us to honour our fathers and mothers so that our days maybe long upon the land which the Lord Almighty has given to us. This is the only commandment that comes with a rider, condition and promise. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: When I look at this country and see the abuse of elders, I think the respect for parents and the elderly is one of the best clauses in this amendment Bill. I hasten to add that, as a nation, if we abide by this decree, then we shall be blessed long upon our land beloved Kenya. According to Kenyans, in order to resolve the cyclical election violence, they said that they wanted a structure of governance that was consociational in nature. The winner takes it all political system should not and could not fit in the consciousness of Kenyans. Lest ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I also want to thank the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Joint Committee with the Senate for the work they did in the Report that was prepared. I support. view
