• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: 46 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 Having said that, I want to encourage hon. Mbarire who is the Chairperson of KEWOPA, together with hon. Shebesh; if the Inspector- General refuses to take up this matter to charge the suspects, then we should file a case charging the Inspector-General for failing to exercise due diligence. We are not going to have men threatening women all the time. This is not just an issue of dressing. Last week, I, hon. Odhiambo-Mabona, hon. Member for Mbita, got threats that I am going to be stripped because I have a differing opinion on political issues ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will try and go with speed. First of all, I want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for bringing this Bill. I want to say, at the outset, that I support it because it is a very progressive Bill. I am speaking as the Chairperson of Parliamentarians for Global Action and the Parliamentarians Caucus on Children. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have worked most of my life on issues of human rights, especially focusing on women and children. That is why I find this law very progressive. I just want to inform ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Constitution, but also to a lot of international conventions that Kenya has ratified. Those include the Convention against Torture, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am very happy because I think I was very concerned about this Jubilee Government that, for a long time, when it came in, perhaps, because of the shadow of the International Criminal Court (ICC) looming very heavily over its head, it ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: my party. I want to tell him that I am not about to and I will not form one, but I stand for democracy and I speak my mind, whatever the cost or the price. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been beaten in the past. I am willing to be beaten in the future, but I will stand by the truth. I support. view

• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the Motion because we need to go back to our constituencies and do work for which we were elected. I want to thank the Chairman of the CDF Committee for raising the issue. At first, we were able to increase the allocation percentage but, of course, we still must challenge him on the timeliness of the remittance of the money. On that account, I want to tell you, hon. Lessonet, you are failing us. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason the Chairman, hon. Lessonet, is failing us ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: involved in taking bribes. This is frustrating some of us. We must provide mechanisms of making it impossible for people to steal money from CDF. That money is meant for members of the public. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to join hands with hon. Midiwo and congratulate him for condemning the barbaric act that was visited upon our party Executive Director. I want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for--- view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand advised, but I will request that we go back to what is in practice, that during an Adjournment Motion one can speak to anything. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am a very astute lawyer and I will follow your advice accordingly. While in recess, I will use that time to advise members of my party that if we want to effectively be watchdogs over Jubilee, we cannot do that by coming with dirty hands; we must come with clean hands. We must be better than Jubilee to deal with Jubilee. We cannot say that we want to tell President Kenyatta that his Government is bad by dealing badly with our own people. I want to congratulate hon. A.B. Duale for not speaking to this ... view
