• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What I was saying is that the Attorney-General has said that he can only issue the certificates if there is an Act of Parliament, but customary marriages are not provided for under an Act of Parliament! So, are we saying that the unions are legal, but to give proof of the unions cannot be done? view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it appears that there are very many Kenyan criminals in the USA. view
• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to reports in the newspapers, there are Kenyans who have been arrested and charged with crimes in USA. We also have now Kenyans who are August 15, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3225 victims of crime and the number is increasing. There are Kenyans in prisons.

• 15 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member and myself were having arguably an exciting discussion, but not a scuffle. I think we are women of repute and we do not scuffle. view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Government financing has been dedicated to purchasing male condoms through the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA), which means that male condoms are not only available but are also accessible. It is only the UNFPA which has donated female condoms to the Government for distribution. Therefore, women are now being forced to buy male condoms, and so negotiate, instead of the Government providing female condoms for women to be able to negotiate for safe sex. Therefore, I would like the Assistant Minister to confirm when the Ministry will provide financing to KEMSA to purchase female condoms for distribution. view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister not to answer the question? The question was: Could the Ministry consider zero-rating the condoms? The issue of materials is not an issue. Could the Ministry zero-rate the female condoms?

They therefore, use needles and other sharp objects which they tend to exchange and share. This means that they are exposed to the risk of HIV/AIDS infection. Could the Assistant Minister use some of the resources that the Ministry has for the prevention of HIV/AIDS infections to deal with the problem of jigger infestations? view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you can guide me, is this the time when we can oppose the proposed amendment? view
• 2 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to oppose the proposed amendment. I think that in the Fourth Estate, one of the most important things that they hold dear is their ability to protect their sources. Often, journalists are whistle blowers. If we then introduce a law that forces the identity of whistle blowers to be identified, I think this will not be correct. In fact, it will be clearly unconstitutional and against the provisions of the Witness Protection Act that we passed in the recent past. So, I beg to oppose this amendment. view
