• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My intervention is just in relation to the issue of Bills. I wanted to bring to the attention of the House that at times, it may not necessarily be the fault of the Committee. I thank you because through your intervention, the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill that I sponsored is now in Second Reading, but two of the Bills that I have sponsored, other than the Child Justice, which is in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, the Committee keeps saying they will invite me to appear before them and they do not do ... view

• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am concerned with the reasons that the Leader of the Majority has given for stepping down the WAQF Bill that there are Members who have special interest in it. I also have very special interest in it and that is why I am here and I can even give you my points and issues I think are unconstitutional unless they relate to personal law.

Providing for gender equity and ethnic diversities of the people of Kenya is a good provision which is constitutional. However, I am just wondering how practical it might be. Most of our counties are employing people from the same county, which is a factor that is recognised in the National Cohesion and Integration Act - which is the next Bill that ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: If you go to Kiambu County for instance, probably they speak in Kikuyu in most of the offices. Similarly, if you go to Homa Bay County, most of the offices would be using Luo. So, I am hoping that the new Bill that is coming - which will be replacing the National Cohesion and Integration Act - will carefully relook at the issue of integration of other ethnic communities, so that devolution should not serve to increase ethnic divisions in the country or create ethnic enclaves, but ensure that specific counties have the face of Kenya. There is no excuse ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue is that I am calling on the Committee and hopefully myself… Because of the other issues of ethnic diversities within the counties, you need to add the issue of ethnic minorities so that you say that they shall provide an equal opportunity for persons with disabilities and ethnic minorities. Why do I say so? It is good that they are providing for persons with disabilities in this Bill. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: However, in a situation like Migori, if you do not check carefully, you will find that a community like the Kuria may not be included.
