• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: without amending Article 97, which gives the composition of Members of Parliament. The Committee says that we do it progressively, but it does not give a formula for doing this progressively. A formula should be given. A formula has timeliness and numbers. This particular one has no timeliness and numbers. It is, therefore, retrogressive. We are equal partners in development with men. I do not see why these men are opposing the idea of bringing more women to Parliament. They are telling us to go and compete with men. Indeed, we should go back to the constituencies and look for ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Deployment of chaplains in learning institutions is in order because in schools, children cannot only rely on academics. They also need spiritual nourishment. I thank the owner of this Motion. At this time when schools are being burnt, we need those chaplains to give our students and pupils in primary, secondary schools and in higher learning institutions spiritual nourishment because without them, the teachers alone cannot curb radicalisation and drug use in school. Those in boarding schools are away from their parents and the teachers only go to ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this important Bill about bribery. Bribery and corruption have paralysed this country very much. When you go to hospitals, you do not get free services. You must give something to get services quickly. When you are on the road, sometimes you overspeed and you have to give something to the police to be let free. I support this Bill very much. Measures should be put in place to prevent bribery. This Bill provides for the giver to be penalised, although sometimes, one is forced to ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. Doping in sports is a major challenge as it is not only a threat to the integrity of sports, but it also puts athletes’ health at risk. This Bill seeks to protect the health of athletes and put in place coordinated effective mechanism to deter and prevent the use of prohibited substances. Many points have been said and I do not want to repeat, so I support. Thank you. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill which speaks about protection of traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression. Traditional cultural expression may include music, dance, art, design, names, signs and symbols, performances, ceremonies, architecture and narratives. It may speak to artistic or cultural expressions. Traditional cultural expressions may be considered as forms in which traditional culture is expressed. They form part of the identity and heritage of the traditional and indigenous community. They are passed down from generation to generation. They are integral to the cultural and social identities of indigenous and local ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this very important Motion. First of all, I thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. (Ms.) Susan. The Motion says in part:- 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
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: “...that the Government develops and implements a national curriculum for training of all medical personnel in the country on emergency medical care.” I support this Motion. The goal of the emergency medical service is to provide treatment to those in need of urgent medical care with the goal of satisfactorily treating the present conditions or arranging for timely removal of the patient to the next point of definitive care. The term “emergency medical service” reflects a change from a simple system of ambulances providing transport only to a system in which preliminary medical care is given on a scene and ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for the opportunity for me to contribute to the Address of the President. I want to congratulate the President for the good Address that he gave the other day. The President sincerely apologised for the past wrongs that have been committed to Kenyans. In my own analysis, this is the best way ever that a leader ought to approach issues. Let me congratulate the President finally for acknowledging in his State of the Nation Address that the long standing historical issues contained in the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) Report are The electronic version of ... view
