• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in condoling the family of the late Koinange and the people of Kiambaa Constituency. I agree with Members that Hon. Koinange was a gentle giant. Despite being a Chair of a very sensitive committee, Hon. Koinange could talk with everybody. He carried himself with a lot of decorum. I know death is never kind. It takes away the best. I know that the people of Kiambaa will miss their legislator. We shared NG-CDF manager. The manager I have now came from Kiambaa, and he has brought a ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With a lot of respect for the Hon. Member, this is a House where all Kenyans are watching and, indeed, at very difficult times. Is he in order to create fear amongst Kenyans by saying it was recently reported that Kenyans are spending Kshs100 billion per month on the roads? Can he substantiate the source of the information so that we can reference and tell Kenyans what he is saying is true? If it is not true, he is out of order because it is not in order to create fear amongst Kenyans. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I start by wondering why all the family related Bills touching on women and children, and now on succession, emanate from one Member by the name of Hon. Kaluma. I do not know why. Is it because Hon. Kaluma, as he says, is a great grand-child of the famous “Akuku Danger” or is it because of his wisdom? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Traditionally, it has been thought that it is women who are supposed to inherit or succeed the husband. I submit that this amendment, which seeks to replace the word “wife” with the word “spouse” is progressive because there is no one time we have ever heard men fighting at a woman’s burial or funeral claiming to be husbands of the late women. It was only one place during the burial of the late Wambui Otieno, the wife of Mbugua. The people then told the young man who was living with Wambui Otieno, prior to her death that he was not ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: There is no provision for women marrying men in this country. We are speaking of men marrying women. This amendment is seeking to remove the word “wife” and replace it with “spouse”. It is progressive by all means, and it is a good law that is going to solve the grapples and fights that we have seen. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this amendment. Thank you. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have just looked at the Bill and the said Section 16. I am sure Hon. King’ara will agree with me. What he meant is that in any sub-division, you are supposed to surrender 10 per cent of that land. Nobody should be allowed to sell land before they register that 10 per cent which is perceived to be public land. I think that is where he is coming from. I listened to the Senior Counsel very well and I think The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: there is no provision in this Bill that contradicts Section 67 of the Public Land Act. Unless the drafter of this Bill clarifies if that is what he means, then Hon. Otiende would be right and the point he raised would apply to this. view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, the demise of Hon. James Lusweti reminds me how cruel death is. It picks the finest and most beautiful flower in the garden. The humility of the late Member is unmatched. I met Lusweti in 2008 when he was the Chairman of Bungoma and I, as Member for Mavoko. He was a member at the Association of Local Government Authorities of Kenya (ALGAK) and I was their secretary. He gave a lot of wisdom even during those days. Little did I know that I would meet him again in Parliament. I want to confirm to ... view
