• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think Hon. Sankok was a little bit asleep when I was talking. I want to tell him… view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will clarify. First of all, I would be the greatest defender of Akothee because my home name is Akothee. We have a shared thing with her. Other than that, I love her free spirit - she is quite a free spirit; she is such a go-getter. She is a very strong spirit. So, I support her. What example I was giving is that there was a controversy at one point. I do not know where she was performing. It sent the whole country on fire. Some people thought she had danced semi-naked before ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: being naked in one area of the country may look anathema in another part of the country. Where I come from, we all bath naked in the lake and it is not a big deal. I am sure they would all run away where Hon. Sankok comes from if I walked naked amongst fellow women. It is not a big deal where I come from. We bath together. We even borrow soap and bath in the lake with each other while naked. It is not a big deal. I was giving that as an example with discomatanga. When my father ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: am saying is that from the treaty, every dancer that brings a new style can now be guaranteed that we will protect their new dance styles.

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Which Suba? view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, is Hon. Mbadi in order to mislead this House? The population of his Suba is smaller than ours. They are not the original one. They are our sisters, but because we were given a wrong name which they stole, they became Suba South. We are the North. They are not original. We are both Subas. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am just concerned about this new procedure of Members donating their time and not the Speaker giving chance to Members. I am also concerned about the issue of ranking. You are a lawyer and you understand ranking. It applies in the court corridors. It must apply in this House. I want to support this Bill because Parliament has come a long way with this Bill – from Joe Donde to Jakoyo and Hon. Jude Njomo, who has been very consistent. I thank him for that. With the Atieno‟s ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: presidential orders, I would want to encourage that the House leadership considers him. He has done an excellent job. With those remarks, I support. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You never go wrong when you stand on principle. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I supported Ms. Mwinzi when her case was brought here but my voice was in the minority. However, the House spoke to it and pronounced itself. Once the House does that, that voice must be respected. However, even in respecting that voice, we must also follow the procedures and rules of the House. view
