• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as a gender expert, sometimes, there are things which are not blatant and glaring, but can be discriminatory of women. I have shared in this House before, that when I was younger, every month I was admitted in the hospital for a very simple thing that other women go through which is called menses because of the excessive flow of blood. As much as I loved to donate blood, I have only been able to donate twice in my life because the doctors said that I cannot because of that condition. Secondly, people who have sickle ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I do not know why he is worried because he has said he is committed to work until 7.00 p.m. and he has also indicated that he is a ranking Member. As a ranking Member, if you are dealing with an issue which is valid and credible, instead of asking the Chairperson to recommit, you know how to recommit. Please proceed and do it so that we can deal with it. Thank you. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Chair for making that presentation. I am just concerned. I have not heard the position of the Reproductive Healthcare Bill. I know we have the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill. Sometimes there is confusion between that one and the Reproductive Healthcare Bill, which I have also sponsored. Could he, please, just explain where it is? view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to reply. With your permission, let me remove my mask because I am social distancing. view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Let me take this opportunity to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill. Just like in the last Parliament, we have received overwhelming support. There is no Member who opposed the Bill. They suggested very good proposals to strengthen it. We have 14 of them on record, namely, Hon. Nyamai, Hon. Martin Owino, Hon. Chachu Ganya, Hon.

• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: I know there are several Members who wished to speak. However, they did not get a chance because of time. In the next business on the Order Paper, which is the Sugar Bill - Sugar is sweet - I can see Members from the sugarcane growing region are very eagerly waiting, so that they can take a little bit of the sweet sugar. I want to indicate that Hon. K.J. desperately wanted to speak. Hon. Janet Ong’era, Hon. Shakeel Shabbir, Hon. Esther Passaris, Hon. Eve Obara and others had indicated they wanted to speak. view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Procedurally, I am not allowed to donate minutes. I wish I was. I know those Members wanted to support the Bill. I have taken into account all what the Members have said. I really thank them from the bottom of my heart because they have given very valid issues that strengthen this Bill. Perhaps, there are one or two areas where there may be a bit of a challenge. I know this Bill raises very moral and religious issues. I thank the Majority Whip who also wanted to contribute to this Bill. He indicated to me his concerns, especially from ... view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Just like the time when I brought this Bill in the last Parliament, I am amazed at the numbers of Members of Parliament who have come to me who had children or trying to have children through assisted reproductive technology. One of the Members who got an opportunity to speak spoke on behalf of his wife. He gave me a horror story about what she went through. Because of the way she is stigmatised, she did not want to speak about it. Therefore, he said he would be here and will continue supporting the Bill. A lot of people are ... view
