• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My apologies, I was consulting with my uncle, Hon. Kaluma. I wish to support this Policy Paper. It is in line with the Constitution of Kenya, especially on social economic rights. Water is life and it is important, especially for women. I want to thank the Mover. In moving, he mentioned certain important principles. However, I was concerned that he has not primed the issue of equality and equity in provision of water. Sometimes we presume that in the areas that we come from, like in Suba North, we have water yet we have ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, the other issue that I am glad that the Member has talked about is the issue of public participation in terms of access to resources. On that, I want to encourage mainstreaming gender in this issue because the people who are impacted more by water resources are women. I support. view

• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. For a moment, I thought the question on sleeping when you are hungry was aimed at me. That aside, I support the Motion. This is a consequence of climate change which manifests itself in various ways. In the North, it manifests itself as drought. In my constituency, we have flooding and water levels that are rising. Yesterday at around 8:00 p.m., I was moving from Mfangano Island to Rusinga Island and almost drowned with my team because of the waters. Two days ago, we lost yet another three people ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: We must also be innovative; where we have too much needs to balance with where there is lack. For example, in my area, people are dying because of floods. Yesterday, there was a huge storm that uprooted trees and people lost their houses to floods. It is not good because the weather is now very erratic. People do not know when to plant, because it used to be in November before, but now it is a different scenario. We have actually seen what is going on in the Northern Kenya. It is a tragedy that many people are dying, and ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not sit the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. I am just concerned especially going by what had gone on before on the Floor of this House. Is the Hon. Member in order to impute improper motive on other Members without a substantive Motion? That is not the way the business of this House is conducted. When we are dealing with issues of national interest relating to security, it behoves on us as Members of Parliament to behave responsibly and not to make utterances that will cause other people in the ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to find out whether the Member had dropped the amendment relating to victims because it was contentious. Unfortunately, at the time you were reading out the Motion, Members were consulting loudly. So, I did not hear. I just want to know. I want to inform him that we have the Victim Protection Act, on which there is a legal process. So, it does not matter if we pass it here, it still has to go to court. I encourage Members that we need to encourage peace. Thank you. view
