• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. When somebody makes a very discriminatory statement against me, I have to stand. Hon. Odhiambo said that marriage is for procreation. I do not have a child. Is he, therefore, suggesting that I am not married? That is a very grave and serious issue. You must be mindful of people who have no children. I am in this House to protect the rights of people with no children and the rights of children and women of all categories. Having said that, there is something called mid-life crisis. All men ... view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even as I support Hon. Kaluma in this Bill, I want to quote something I saw on social media by a person called Emmanuel Swaka. He defined persons who are deceased as follows: hayati is a dead person who has left behind a lot of wealth and assets; marehemu is a dead person who has left behind lots of bills and is also listed by the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) as loan defaulting, and mwenda zake, has little to write about him, alizaliwa, akazururazurura,akagongwa na gari akafa. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: When you look at the issues Hon. Kaluma is trying to deal with, a lot of issues arise when we deal especially with hayati. We do not see a lot of issues when dealing with cases of mwendazake and marehemu. So, in order to help us deal with these categories, the proposed amendment by Hon. Kaluma is very apt. As a Christian, let me quote the Book of Proverbs, Chapter 30, verse 19 on some of the things that used to perplex King Solomon. We know that King Solomon was one of the wisest people on earth yet some of ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: These issues that perplexed the most brilliant man on earth or the most brilliant man recorded on earth still perplexes us today. You would be surprised and amazed that everyone is supporting Hon. Kaluma yet we still seem to be taking gendered lines such that women are moving in one direction and men in one direction. Why is that the case? It is because of the way we are made. There is a retired judge who challenged us as women and said in a 60-page ruling that one of the reasons women went to Beijing was as a basis of ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: equality yet when it comes to where the rubber meets the tarmac, sometimes we are not very true and genuine about the equality we talk about. We seem to think that equality is only when it applies to us, but is not equality when it favours the men. What Hon. Kaluma is trying to do is to bring equality for men and I truly support. As women, when we talk about equality, it should be equality both ways because what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Therefore, if as a woman I should inherit from my ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Otherwise, we should change the marriage law and say that women should also be allowed to marry as many husbands as possible. Where the law is very clear, I am encouraging the judges to use the law as the law is. The law is also clear and I am the one who brought that amendment in 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
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: the Constitution, that we can protect children born out of wedlock. I can assure you that I know what to do if upon the death of my husband, God forbid, many children suddenly come up. I know because I am the one who brought the law. If it is proven they are his children, I will take care of them because that is what the law says. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: However, if you are a woman who pops up from nowhere and I am married in church, please, jipange mapema. Otherwise, go and look for a man who has married under customary law. We want to tell the men, as I have told you and I can see the Member is jittery because he is of the ilk of marrying many women… view
