• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I am happy when I see that this Bill is not hostile to this practice which is important to us. I am happy about the silence on extended family which sometimes people call wife inheritance. Many communities like my community practise extended marriage. You can never call extended marriage wife inheritance because marriage involves families and that extension of marriage where someone serves the purpose of his brother who is deceased is very important because we do not have orphaned children suffering. We also do not have widows suffering. So, I am happy about this but most important is the ... view

• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for that guidance. Indeed, my friend just got me at a time when I wanted to express my endurance to our Constitution. Our Constitution underlines the importance of universal living values, which have been alluded to in this Report, and which we really need to embrace and include in our legislative and governance processes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are living in an environment of cultural diversity but it is embarrassing sometimes the way we view cultural diversity. We think there is an opportunity for us to divide ourselves when actually it is ... view

Members to appreciate the fact that we are a very lucky nation that is founded on multi-cultural diversity, which we need to embrace. Listening to what hon.

It is, therefore, very important that in identifying our heroes, we consider the aspirations of our people. Every community in this country has aspirations that guarantee them continuity. We have individuals who have ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I conclude, I would like to talk about dependants. The dependants as identified by this Bill, are viewed as unable people. It is important, while implementing the principles of this Bill, to find ways of enabling the dependants to be able to sustain themselves and continue to contribute to the nation and champion the spirit of our heroes. We also need to leverage on the abilities of our heroes as models and champions of our national course. Whether they are from the villages or not, it will be important for us, while implementing ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Committee that has brought up this Bill and especially the issue of the Tribunal. From time immemorial, our people with the experience from the colonial times do not have a very good place in their hearts for tax. So, we have all the time tended to avoid tax. However, the journey we have travelled as Kenyans, we need to address some of these issues and demystify the concept of punitive taxing systems. So, I want to support this especially with the understanding that tax is important. Tax is ... view
