• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I give my condolences, I thought it would be nice to appreciate the fact that Sen. Kibiru and Sen. (Dr.) Langat are safe and sound, having been quarantined in Germany. On behalf of my family and the people of Makueni, I pass my condolences to the family of the late hon. Suleiman Dori. I will not repeat the words of my colleagues, but only to say that we should have a roll of honour for all MPs. I saw it in Germany where all Members who have served, including Adolf Hitler, have a particular place reserved ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Nyamunga on private guards. Last year, a Bill on security guards was rejected by the National Assembly. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government developed a circular on the regulation of security guards. If I was to advise the Senator, this is a matter that needs to be revived because the Executive has taken over the role, after the National Assembly refused to pass what would be regulations on discipline, conduct and otherwise, a method of being able to deal with those who are errant. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Petition is timely, and I agree with Sen. Wetangula that, maybe, we should have recognised this team of people earlier. In fact, I am wondering why you need 60 days. In this particular Petition, they are simply asking the Committee to move an amendment. Their inclusion into this profession and recognition can be dealt with at the public participation stage. The amendment should come on the Floor, and once the Bill is published, we would like to hear the objections that have been raised by various stakeholders. However, more importantly is to understand why ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: production and their cows are roaming everywhere. This is something we can exploit. Recently I heard that the people who are promoting agriculture want to be considered one man, one vote, one shilling. I want us to consider the people who are doing livestock farming as one man, one cow, one vote, one shilling or something. Thank you. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, somebody said that his name ‘Kabaka; in Uganda means “husband of husbands.” Could that be the reason; having too many wives? view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Parliament and particularly the Senate, nominated me to be a rapporteur for the IPU Parliament on Gender Parity. The theme then, and I believe maybe Rt. Hon. Former Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga and President Uhuru borrowed the Building Bridges Initiative from there, was how men can build bridges together with women, where men become the champions for gender parity. I am unapologetically a champion of gender parity. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Unapologetically, and it is at 50 per cent. My Party believes the same. If we take power, it will be 50-50, no negotiation. Yes, that is a promise. I want to confess that even when I was advising Sen. Dullo, even her own party was discriminating her. We want to encourage our daughters – and you know that I have a very strong sister who is a lawyer - that they are not growing up in a country where their brothers and men are going to discriminate on them. Whether it is positions of employment or leadership, it is a ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Sweden and Norway are amongst the Nordic countries that are the richest in the world with balanced budgets, and where I went with Sen. Dullo, everybody was in shock and awe because in all leadership positions, 1, 2 and 3 were women. Therefore, it is my submission that there is correlation between under-development, corruption, tribalism and discrimination of women. That is where Kenya is. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in Senate: Whereas most do not recognize the efforts made by Sen. Mugo, I have got the women atlas of the world. In that acknowledgement, one name of a Kenyan by the name Sen. Mugo was recognized for her unrelenting fight for women of this world. That is what it takes for leadership in this country; it is recognition. Fight for your space. It is not a question of tokenism; get there, fight and wrestle these men out of business. I am looking for a country where you have a President like in Croatia, a lady who takes their national team to ... view
