• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill and especially when it comes to the area of nomination. I also want to echo what my other colleagues are suggesting that on this nomination exercise, parties should present their lists after elections so that, at least, we can see those people who served parties and did good work for them instead of us giving out the nomination list when campaigns are ongoing and everyone, including the party leaders, are also very busy. Anybody can sneak in a name of a person who has not even been serious ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to add my voice to this very important Bill. This Bill ensures that the membership of the National Assembly and the Senate conform to the two-thirds gender principle. It makes the membership of the two Houses to have equal number of members from both genders. Everyone in Kenya should support this Bill. We need both our men and women to support the idea of having equal numbers of all genders in the two Houses. This should happen not only in Parliament, but also in our counties. We also need to have ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: other elective seats, especially in the county assemblies. This issue of nomination is proving to be expensive because every time we nominate women to all Houses, our budget increases. We also urge women to also vie for all seats so that we do not just believe in nomination. I, particularly, urge the women of Kenya who, most of the times, are the ones who elect our leaders, especially our elected Members of Parliament, to vie for political seats. Most of the Members of Parliament are elected by women in our counties and constituencies. I urge women outside this House to ... view

We are aware that in the Republic of Kenya, there are many conflicts which are brought about by land, as a resource.

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: resource to many communities. In many cases, we get communities fighting and having endless disputes because of land. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because it proposes ways of reducing misuse of community land. If communities could be sensitised to come together, register community land and be given the right to manage, protect and use their land, there will be sanity in terms of how community land is used. There are cases where community land has been misused by powerful individuals within some communities, as well as by the previous local authorities and the national Government. We have cases, especially in Kajiado and Narok, where the Government picked community land for a certain project. When the project wound up, the ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill is coming up with a mechanism of ensuring that a community can register a community trust which can hold land in their trust. The community has been given power to decide on how their land can be used and when it can be used. However, there are some issues I would like to point out on the same Bill – the issue of checks and balances. In the Group Ranches Act, group ranches officials used to buy off the community members’ shares.
