• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Cattle rustling, as a crime, has been underrated, understated, underemphasised and trivialised as a practice by pastoralists who have nothing to do and have warlike tendencies. We want to tell Kenyans and the Government that cattle rustling is not just about stealing cows. It is also not about returning stolen cows. It is not the literal interpretation of the phrase. It involves destruction of property and mass murder. It is a crime against humanity and human dignity. It involves murder, rape and displacement of populations. It is an outrageous injustice. It is a violation of human rights. It is about ... view

• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to echo the sentiments of my sister, Hon. Ghati, on the plight of people living with disabilities. They experience mobility constraints. Just like education, transport is an equaliser and a catalyst that facilitates access to other sectors.

• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: people living with disabilities will face double restriction, inhibition and limitation in terms of their daily lives, activities and participation in their social lives. Ease in transport addresses the issue of accessibility in terms of access to employment, appointments, education, health services and it also reduces social exclusion. A small percentage of people with disabilities just like the rest of us own private vehicles, hence, there is a lot of need to modify public transport. Good transport system impacts life choices. It enables independent living which is a necessity for all of us. It enhances economic advancement and we are ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. I support it. Devolution, being new in Kenya, is a learning experience where gaps and challenges are continually being identified and addressed through amending legislations.

It seeks to give effect to Article 96(1) of the Constitution on the functions of the Senate and also seeks to amend the County Governments Act No.17 of 2012 specifying on issues of disposal of inquiry reports and lifting of suspensions of ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: suspension. It gives a threshold so that the President does not just use his whims to reject or accept. There is a procedure. This Bill enables the Senate to terminate suspension. It details the procedures. There are many things that happen in the counties and there is a lot of confusion. There are high levels of corruption and in-capabilities both in the county assemblies and in the performance of the CECs and chief officers. There is poor performance, insubordination, wars between CECs, MCAs and even up to the Senate level. This Bill seeks to clarify all this. This Bill will ... view
