I presented my matter. I want to correct the Member for Suba South. I know he was well intended when he was pushing my matter. It was reported that I did not present my matter when I was assaulted on the Floor of the House. I was beaten physically by a Member who was targeting a nerve. On the second day, I was almost blind. On the third day, I was admitted at ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I want to encourage Hon. Duale. I know that I joke, but on this one, I am not joking. We do not repeat such things on the Floor of the House. I am a very forgiving person. I have forgiven the Members, but even if I do it, we need to acknowledge where there is a wrong. I was wronged on the Floor of this House.

Even though I may not get reparations, it may come after 50 years the same way there was reparation for the South Korean comfort women of the World War II. The Japanese acknowledged the wrongs against them after over 50 years. Even if the wrong that was done to me will be acknowledged after 50 years, I will be consistent about saying what was done to me was wrong. I want to agree with Hon. Korere that unfortunately, when it is gendered, you cease being the victim and you become the villain. As soon as I was ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I have a very solid self-concept. When you have it, you can poke fun at yourself without fearing. I believe in Millie. I am confident about who Millie is.

• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I am seeing that they are seated together. I am seeing the Member for Lang’ata has also joined them to show that there is true handshake in the House. If they are having a handshake, who are we to deny them that opportunity? view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, let other assemblies emulate what has happened here. All I am seeking is acknowledgement of what wrong was done. Why arrest MCAs, take them to another county, re- arrest them, harass them and use judicial processes and powers against them?
