• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with the Chair of the Committee that paragraph (f) needs to be deleted because when you say, “in accordance with the practice of any other faith or other group” lesbians and gays come in. You cannot allow gays and lesbians to have permission to marry each other in this country. I agree with the Chairman. view

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We are making laws for this country so that we can have a conducive environment for people to live together. For that reason, we are in Africa. African men are potentially polygamous for that reason; there is no need for informing your first wife. When you marry an African woman, she must know that the second one is on the way, and even the third and fourth one. This is Africa! We are not living in Europe or America. There is no need of informing the first wife. view

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose the deletion of this Sub-clause. When you are courting and you end up giving the other party your car, or you give her a small piece of land measuring 50 metres by 100 metres, you need to claim back your property.

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate the Committee for the good work it has done. I also congratulate the Members and the House for the time they have put today in this matter, which is very important for this country. This is one law that will make the lives of Kenyans easier, comfortable and conducive in their homes. Kenyans were living in a jungle way in marriages. There were marriages of “come we stay” and marriages which have many problems. However, today we have a law that will guide people on how they ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I request hon. Members to show the same concern of high magnitude to other Bills that are very important for this country. Those who have had fear and have been hiding people in the bush should come out now because they have a law that will protect them. Come in the open and tell Kenyans how many wives, concubines and “come we stays” you have. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to draw your attention earlier – the time I was disturbing you about this matter – to the fact that this Bill is very important. It is very contentious. We need to be sober when we are discussing it. This House has been accused several times of passing laws when hon. members are very few in the House. Even when we passed the Media Bill, I remember, the media showing empty seats in this House. There are some communities who know their wives are part of their wealth. There are many things we are ... view
