• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am standing under Standing Orders. I want to say that these systems are not working. I had already pressed the button, but it goes off and comes back. So, I will be going back when probably I was the first person to press. It is not fair. In fact, my colleague has left because she has moved from every place trying and it is not working. So, I am here. I just want to notify the Chair that there is a fault with our system. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion and want to indicate that I agree with the Leader of Majority Party that we need to work towards cohesion. I have said that before and I want to repeat again that this country is extremely divided along ethnic lines. The other day hon. Kalonzo Musyoka said something and people were condemning him for it. I made a comment on it in my Facebook page and many of my Kikuyu friends were offended. I want to repeat that a lot of times, people want to speak the truth. I love people ... view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: construction of the Mbita Bridge. There is absolutely no reason why a contractor should be removed and the people of Mbita made to suffer. Indeed, if the Government has been forced to withdraw the contractors from Mbita, then, the least they can do is to return the causeway to where it was before, if they are not able to finish it. I want to thank hon. Members for what we have done this time round. I was in the last Parliament and I am very impressed by the number of Private Members’ Bills that have been brought by Members of ... view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Fund that was promised has not yet been rolled out. The laptops have not yet been provided. Therefore, I want to urge the Government to live up to the promises it gave to the people of Kenya. Finally, as soon as we came to this Parliament, a lot of the Members were divided and very excited talking about the issue of tyranny of numbers. I repeated that one day, you will remember that tyranny is a very temporary thing. Indeed, today, it is evident that tyranny is a very temporary thing, whether exercised on the Floor of the House or ... view

• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. I wish to seek clarification on the issue of discrimination. Even though I know that the request was sought specifically touching on the Muslim faith, I must declare that my husband is an elder of the SDA church. Therefore, I want to speak on behalf of the SDA Church. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, of the SDA church. I want to say that the Seventh Day Adventist Church – I was in the Constitutional Committee that provided a special day and I actually pushed for that because the SDAs must observe their day of worship which is not effected in schools. What the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology has done is to present a case of helplessness and that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is not doing anything. Therefore, I need clarification from the Chairperson of the Committee on what they are going to do to ensure that the ... view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: and present words and say that they are helpless. What are we going to do so that Children belonging to the SDA Church are protected? view
