• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to congratulate the Minister for bringing this Bill and I want to support it. In supporting the Bill, I want to say that as a country, we have always called for a Supreme Court. I am amongst the people who presented a memorandum when I was in CRADLE, calling for the setting up of a Supreme Court. I know many other Kenyans did so and the reason that we called for the setting up of a Supreme Court is not so that we can promote judges to ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my good friend did not understand what I said, but I will repeat it for his sake. A lot of times, women fear applying for positions because they are going to be asked tough questions. I am saying that there are tough women who applied for the position of Chief Justice, including Hon. Justice Mary Ang’awa. She was asked tough questions including being told that she conducts her court as a kindergarten. I said that the people who interviewed her were lucky because if it were me, I would have said that, if I am dealing ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I know that you trained me! That is why you are a good Professor! The reason I started doing that is because I said that the law is made for man and not man for the law. As a country, we have forgotten that. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: And for woman. Thank you for reminding me. We stick too much to wigs and robes. When you see people going to court in those wigs and ropes, they look like they are going to perform witchcraft or some funny things. Let the judges wear vitenges to court. That is what Nigeria does. We can do that, so long as we are meting out justice. If we stick too much to technicalities, that will not help. Finally, I just want to say that I am happy and thank the Minister. I hope that when we get the Supreme Court Judges, ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first I want to let the Assistant Minister know that we cannot allow the country to go back to where we came from. Could he tell us who are these known terrorist operatives and Al Shabaab ? If you know them, why have you not arrested them? We do not want the Government to be fearful of human rights and you cannot take us back to where we came from! view

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to clarify. What I can see from his response is that he has concentrated a lot on issues of sexual violence. I would like to know whether he was responding to issues of sexual violence or he was responding to issues of domestic violence. Those are very distinct, unless he is telling me, that of the cases he received, husbands were sexually abusing their wives and wives were sexually abusing their husbands! Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feel that he has not answered my Question. Could he, please, clarify whether the figures ... view
