  • 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am hearing one of them saying off record that it is just a concern. “Just a concern” is not a point of order. view
  • 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am rightfully in order by saying that they are not serious in their work based on my observation of the work I have seen them doing. Constitutionally, I have a right to give an opinion. I am not casting aspersions on a Member without reason. I know that is what he is trying to bring out, but he is struggling. I am not casting aspersions. I am casting a vote of no confidence on their Report and not on them as individuals. I do not know what the Hon. Member does in his constituency. On ... view
  • 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I apologise for not listening. You know, sometimes, when I am passionate, that is what happens. You will give me an opportunity to respond to their points of orders. I am ready and able to receive and deal with them one by one. I have expertise in women and children’s issues. I brought before this House a Bill called the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act. It is unfortunate that one Member accused me of trafficking children when I was doing ground breaking work in this country. It showed that we have cases of trafficking. Trafficking ... view
  • 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: be mistreated, you will see the symptoms. You will not see the real thing. You will see that many people… I went to one of those countries – I will not say which one because we do not have a substantive Motion on the same – when I was doing my research. I got into a flight and found it had many Africans going there. When you go to that country, you will not find one of them. You then ask yourself: where do they go? You will not see them working anywhere. Because of that, I was intrigued and ... view
  • 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I support the Committee’s Report. This Report is based on an agreement that was signed between the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna, Austria on 13th October 2008 to establish the International Anti-Corruption Academy. Kenya became a signatory to the conference on 2nd September 2010 when the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs signed the agreement during the International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) high level Founders Conference that was held in Vienna, Austria. As ... view
  • 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: that we used to read. There were very short interesting stories that taught values about honesty, integrity, inclusion and against discrimination. What do we have nowadays? Recently, books were allowed in the market which use certain four-letter words on six- year-old and ten-year-old children and we expect people not to be corrupt. We are already teaching them that these are the values that we live with as a country. As a country, we are very quick to pass the buck. Whenever there is a problem, we are branded mpigs . We all blame Members of Parliament. It is the most ... view
  • 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: country. I ask our churches to wake up. The country is burning. Stop following money. Stop having so much interest in money at the expense of a country that is going under. With those few remarks, I am asking us, as a country, to go back and search in our hearts and ask where the rain started beating us. Let us not only ask, let us fix the problems we have as a nation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
  • 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am just worried that Hon. Sankok was coming very close to me and he has been declared a harasser. He might declare me a mono when I am not one. I am doing my third term. Can I be protected from him? I am very worried because he seems to be now hovering especially around female Members of Parliament. He was with the Member from Baringo and now he is next to Hon. Rozaah Buyu. I just managed to chase him away. He was also next to Hon. Christine. Has he been sent ... view
  • 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving us that opportunity. We have been sitting in this House for very long and so, commercial breaks are good. Sometimes when we raise points of order, we disappear in the system. Because we are many and have been queuing for long, that means I go to the bottom of the queue. I am very worried. I have been here for very long. I have been here the whole afternoon. view
