• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: If we have decided, as a country, that a particular honour needs to be conferred to an individual, it should be done. All Members of Parliament who are here qualify for the CBS honour. I would like to tell you that I do not think that anyone of us who was in the Tenth Parliament was conferred with that honour. I am sure that even the current Parliament will not. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I do not agree entirely with those who are saying that if you become a Member of Parliament, you have just walked from the streets. Winning a seat as a Member of Parliament and especially you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the number of votes that you were able to garner to be the County Women Representative for Nairobi County is not easy. To talk to people and convince them that you can lead and be given an opportunity to lead even if you did not go to school, is not a mean achievement. In this country, people tend to downplay ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, we need to recognize our heroes at the local level even as we recognize heroes at the national level. I would like to tell you that my hero at my local area is my father because I have benefited from his heroism. How have I benefited? view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: My father was the first person to stand against the local chief to oppose his tyranny of forcing people to bring water to his wife every day, whenever they went for a local baraza . view

That has made me a national figure. Sometimes, we benefit and “eat” from the heroism of some people who are never recognized. As we recognize the national heroes up here who probably went to school and got exposure, there are also heroes down there who never went to school and came to Nairobi to speak English with Wazungu. However, they were speaking in their vernacular and fighting for ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those very many remarks, I support this Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to the Wildlife Conservation and Management Bill. This Bill is long overdue. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I remember even in the previous Parliament, we actually called for this Bill to be tabled in the House without success for a long time. This Bill has been in the working for quite some time. It is good that this Bill is finally here, we are able to debate it and come up with a better Act to manage issues of wildlife in this country. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that wildlife is important to the economy of this country. We know how much is brought to this country in form of foreign exchange because of the tourism sector. Sometimes those of us who border national parks or have national parks, lakes and such like environment which preserves wildlife within their constituencies really suffer from wildlife. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: If you look at the current compensation for those who are either killed by wildlife or any destruction or damage caused by wildlife--- Sometimes you ask yourself whether this country is more concerned about the welfare of wildlife as opposed to the welfare of the people of Kenya. view
