  • 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I am a Member for Suba North. My constituency is the only unique one with two names in Kenya. It is both Mbita and Suba North. My constituency has those two names – Mbita and Suba North. view
  • 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this Bill, but with amendments. I do not want to be repetitive. Members have spoken to a lot of issues that are addressed here. I want to say that this is a very important Bill, especially as we are getting into the elections and for women. Part of the reasons why I say I am going to propose amendments - and I hope the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will be able to adopt some amendments--- I know part of the issues we ... view
  • 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: means even as we are talking about “progressive”, it is a continuous word. It is like a movement. You cannot have “progressive” that is neither in the negative or stagnated. Part of the reason I am saying that we need to ensure we propose amendments both to this Bill and the Political Parties Bill is to make sure that we have a formula that will ensure that more women are able to compete equally with men. Our political party processes for nomination should endear themselves to women. The entire process of nomination should be such that we do not have ... view
  • 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The other thing I want to say is that I hope we will bring some sanity on the issue of the nomination process, especially for the Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). One of the challenges we faced the last time and which people have complained about is that there was a lot of nepotism on nominations, especially of MCAs. I want to encourage that going forward, we should make sure that the nomination process is transparent and involves women who have gone through an elective process or have been very actively involved in the party. Personally, I prefer women who ... view
  • 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this Motion and I will explain why. At an appropriate time, I will bring a Motion to this Floor that the House allows me to get a wife for Hon. Ng’eno. view
  • 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: That wife will be my sister. With such excellent ideas--- view
  • 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am going to show right now how relevant it is. First, if he marries--- view
  • 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I oppose this Motion because it does not address the issue of national cohesion. view
  • 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, noting that the demand for my sisters is high, I presume they are looking at me as a sample. That is why there is high demand for my sisters. Having said that, the sister I promised Hon. Cheboi is intact and younger. The one I am promising Hon. Ng’eno--- view
  • 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: No, she does not have a child. In fact, they are twins. So, do not worry. The reason I am supporting Hon. Ng’eno is that this country needs unifying leaders. Even though he was speaking about serious issues in jest that is what this country needs. When the new Government came in, and despite the fact that I did not support them, our silent whispers in the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) were that we were going to have a problem with these two. The reason we thought we were going to have a problem with them was because ... view
