  • 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support the Policy although I am a little disappointed that whoever addressed this Policy was not brave enough to take the bull by the horns.

  • 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Having worked a lot in the child labour sector, the challenge we face as a country is whether to outlaw child labour completely or allow it to some extent. The Children’s Act is not very clear so that even when people are misusing children, sometimes it is difficult to prosecute them. I hoped that this Policy would address that issue once and for all. We fear and the reason for that is because we are not brave enough to deal properly with the issue of corruption. If we seal all the corruption loopholes, we will be able to deal with ... view
  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the Motion. I am, however, disappointed with the caveman ideology espoused by one of our party leaders, Hon. Junet Mohammed. That ideology does not reflect the position of the party. The party has said that it is reforming on the issue of gender. In fact, we are the largest party in this country with only one woman elected as Member of the National Assembly. We cannot be moving in that direction. I am going to report him to the party leader. view
  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when our party leader directed that we move in one direction, we did so. The party leader is very positive about gender issues. So, we cannot have Hon. Junet going against that position. Jakom has spoken! view
  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you will add me one minute because that was not a point of order; it was a point of argument. In fact, that is what differentiates between a lawyer and a pedestrian like Hon. Junet Mohammed. I would like to tell him that it is fortunate that I am standing in Mbita. If one would be allowed to stand anywhere, I would have dealt with him perpendicularly in Migori and then he would have known the power of women. view

  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: This is because I floored several men and he is mince meat before me. I could deal with him in Migori. Hon. Speaker, the law that we have passed today on elections is a two-edged sword. I have heard people say that it is historic and so on. It will be historic when it comes back to bite you. Let us remember, those of us who are speaking on democracy, that this law helps in democracy. However, we should not be selective when we stop party-hopping. We should stop party-hopping at all times so that we do not have people ... view
  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I speak as a woman elected and fought against men. I support my fellow women because I know that even as I speak one of the amendment I brought is that--- As I go doing serious projects others are busy calling me Lor . Lor is a woman who has no child. Do I need to have children to be elected? In fact, I am very effective because I have no children. The ones busy running getting children are not doing an excellent job as I am. I brought Assisted Reproduction Bill here. By the time I am ... view
  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I support. view
  • 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would be very hesitant in supporting this Bill in its current frame. I can see it is very futuristic because it looks at an ideal society where we have very few poor people, an effective Government which is properly structured and functional and in that futurist society there will be no need for fundraisers. view
