• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: So, be kind to allow me to speak because I want to speak very passionately. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure you have not given me the chance because of culture but because I am a Member of the House. I rise to oppose this Motion. In opposing the Motion, I want to say that it has nothing to do with the appointees that are before this House, many of whom I know. I can just give an example of Hon. Kazungu, Hon. Kiunjuri, Hon. Sicily Kariuki and Hon. Charles Keter. We have worked with the three male colleagues in the last Parliament and this one. I have no known reason why at an ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Right now, we are grappling with how to make Parliament constitutional. Instead, the President is going ahead in the Executive to give us an unconstitutional list. As a person who has in the past spoken for women, I will stay on course and support the women agenda. If the list is unconstitutional for that reason, I cannot support it. I would also want to say that under Article 232 of the Constitution and especially because of the history that we went through--- I happen to be one of who you would call the founding mothers of this Constitution. One of ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to echo what my sister whom I respect very much, Hon. Naomi Shaban has said. This country is greater than all of us and, therefore, as Kenyans, we must know that first. I told one of my colleagues outside here when we were talking informally that if you want to put this country first, tell the President that he is “naked”. This country is sinking under the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: weight of corruption and when we are appointing these people, we are expecting them not to go and sink under the weight of corruption that is killing this country. Through corruption, children are dying in hospitals because they cannot get medicine, people are dying of hunger and many people who are supposed to be rescued are not being rescued. My brother Hon. Mbadi said that nine people died in his constituency. Out of those nine, one of them that I buried was from Mbita Constituency. That is because we are neighbours. So, out of the nine that died, one of ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was just going to give the connection. view

• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that is my uncle who is vying for the chairmanship of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party in Homa Bay County and he has my full 100 per cent support. Having said that, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. In doing so, I want to say that I worked at the Office of the Attorney-General as a State Counsel for three years. Anybody who has worked there knows that this is a primary legal document that you use for civil proceedings for Government agencies. Based on my experience, it is important that ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I am very happy that just this week, I issued title deeds to residents of Mbita Constituency in collaboration with the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. Part of the title deeds we were giving were also for schools. I would want to encourage this Ministry to hasten and ensure that all the schools have title deeds and not only schools in my constituency. It seems now to be becoming fashionable because we even got another notice to sell a hospital. I do not understand. I am trying to figure out the circumstances under which those kinds of things ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I thank Hon. Priscilla for giving me this opportunity. I thank her also for bringing this Bill. Both her and I serve in the International Commission of Jurists that has been very passionate about this Bill and we fought for this for years and I am very happy. I just want to say information is power and we should not be using the issue of security as an excuse to stop people from giving information especially the media. The other thing I would like to say is that we must find ways of engendering information. We should also ... view
