• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I have been in this institution for nine years and have enjoyed the fruits. Now that he has joined us, I will take this opportunity to congratulate him and request that the House, in the same way, acknowledges the change of status. You can even see in his attire that the status can be evidently seen. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Hon. Member for bringing this Motion to this House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the focus has mainly been on central Kenya but this is a national problem. Last time when we were dealing with this law in this House and we spoke to individual Members, we realized that this is a matter that affects every single household. I would like to say that the President took a very bold move, but as the Chairperson, now that the Speaker has spoken about the bodies we belong to - I am ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am supporting. As a woman, I always support women. I want to indicate the reasons I support this woman. One, she is fairly young. Two, she is a woman. Three, she is educated. Four, she is fulfilling one of the two conditions in the Constitution which is gender and the issue of age. If I consider that in relation to the other areas, which are regional and ethnic balance I will excuse the women because we are marginalised all the time, even if we do not satisfy other requirements. However, I want to encourage, ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: constitutional requirement on the whole, not a single one; they should meet the constitutional requirement of gender balance, age or generational equity, disability and regional balance. On this one, I very strongly support. One of the issues that Members are not highlighting is that she is even already enrolled for her PhD. It is difficult for women to reach that level. I recognise that you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, is one of the few women who have reached that level and, I am soon catching up with you. I support. view

• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to support the Bill which is long overdue. I want to say that given the level of unemployment many of our young people are employed in private security firms. This is a sector that needs to be regulated. We have seen a lot of things going wrong in the sector. Many times when crimes have been committed, sometimes some people in those firms have been implicated. I know of two cases including a recent one where an organisation lost a motor vehicle and immediately one of the people ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Many times it is because there are no regulations or guidelines. Many of the security firms do not have proper records of the people they employ and so when someone disappears they do not know even where to start looking for him or her. So, I want to support the Bill because it provides for regulation of the sector. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: One of the things I find challenging in the Bill is that it does not provide for standardized training for private security. If they had better training on issues such as public relations among others, then a situation like the one that happened to Nancy Baraza would never have occurred. Many of us, especially women leaders, know how many times we are subjected to ridicule. We live in a very patriarchal society and it does not matter what position you hold. When you go before the private security, people carry on with their work with those kinds of notions. In ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to congratulate Hon. Sakaja for this very good Bill. He has not disappointed. Since Hon. Sakaja was nominated he has done an excellent job. It reminds me of the time when we were in the last Parliament. It is good if we read our Terms of Reference (TORs). Sometimes they are not written, but they are implied. I want to congratulate Hon. Sakaja. He has lived true to the youth agenda and his calling as a nominated Member of Parliament. I also want to congratulate him because ... view
