• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the hon. Member for moving this Motion, which I fully support. view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Before I came into the House, I sat in a Parliamentary Taskforce that follows the implementation of Treaty obligations of the country. This is a noble initiative and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs should follow and ensure that the issue of MDGs is taken up and followed up by the taskforce. If we get regular reports, as it is recommended in the Motion, then we would, in effect, be doing what we recently saw being practised in the United States of America, which is the State of the Union. As a country, we are entitled under ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I want to speak to the MDGs in specific. I want to talk on the MDG No.1 on eradicating extreme poverty. I am very happy that the Constitution now addresses the issue of inequalities. If you look at the Waki Report, you will realize that some of the underlying issues that caused the country to go into violence are issues of inequalities. Various parts of the country have developed differently as a consequence of different policies that are not very good for the country. For instance, the Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965, even though it was well intended, resulted in ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Being married in Zimbabwe, I can tell you that Zimbabwe is facing a lot of problems, but I get embarrassed when I visit that country because it is very well developed infrastructurally and despite the fact that at one point, we were even buying a soda at one billion Zimbabwe Dollars, still, if you go to the rural areas, you cannot compare with the state of roads in this country. That is why I am happy that this Constitution is seeking, not just to deal with eradication of poverty, but also to ensure that Kenya is at par with other ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We resumed early so that we can do urgent business. We have a heavy calendar before us this year. As the Vice-Chair of the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution, we have 16 priority Bills that we have to deal with. This morning is Private Members’ Time and we have done our part. I do not think that it will be in order for us to allow the Government to have time to respond because next week, we need to deal with another Private Member’s issue. We are taking ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I know that we have a lot of work to do and that is why this Procedural Motion is seeking to extend Sitting time so that we can finish. I know that hon. Members want to ventilate. I know specifically whom they want to ventilate against. Hon. Members have very clearly indicated their feelings. Christmas is a few days away. I do not want to express my personal concerns, which I have expressed in the past, but some of us need to go for Christmas. Therefore, I beg to support. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to impute improper motive on a Member and purport to try and gag persons who want to speak either way? He should apologise and withdraw forthwith. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Ruto is a Member? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. We promulgated a new Constitution that gives freedom of expression. I have a human rights background, and I believe we are becoming intolerant. I oppose this Motion. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would want to say that, indeed, we have worked very hard as Parliament. As a nominated Member of Parliament, representing women and children, I can say that I am proud of the work I do here; I am proud that I sponsored the Counter Trafficking in Persons Act that was passed this year, and even if I leave Parliament now, I will be happy that I have fulfilled my mandate. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have unlocked the constitutional process as we go for Christ Mass. I ... view
