• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have not spoken to it. I support this Motion, particularly knowing that coconut is a very difficult tree to grow. For it to grow and start producing coconuts, it takes six to seven years and most of them are naturally grown. The best place to plant or grow it naturally is along the coastal line. I agree with the Mover of the Motion that the Government has to take this seriously by compensating farmers, given that drought took away most of the trees, which was their livelihood. The benefits of coconut range from oil, building ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: cows and maize farmers that also need to be compensated or supported. This Motion has come at the right time and it is important for us to support it as a House. The Government should consider supporting these farmers because we need to promote the coconut produce. So, I support and I want to thank the Mover. Thank you very much. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I must congratulate the Member for bringing this Motion to the House. Given the stress levels in the world, maybe because of poverty levels or hard economic times, we have seen not only gender-violence, but some of the survivors are never lucky. They end up being killed. Establishment of such trauma centres will help the victims in getting education. Most women and men do not know or understand how to conduct themselves when they are accosted. When we have such centres, citizens will be advised and educated on how to handle such ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: people we entrust their care such as priests and family members. Cases of incest have risen. We need a culture change the world over. I have seen female genital mutilation included in the Motion. There needs to be education so that the communities who practise it should stop. Once a woman has been genitally mutilated, she never enjoys sex. Some of them do not get married. Social workers at trauma centres should advise parents of such young people that mutilating a woman’s genitals is a crime and abuse of her rights to enjoy sex. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, most of the ladies who work for NGOs that campaign against female genital mutilation know what happens to women who undergo the practice in their old age. It could look like it is a good practice when you are young because it is a gateway to getting married, but once you realise what you are missing out, that is when you see most ladies campaigning against that which you refuse to hear. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I propose to have someone from the Ministry of Health in every location to champion the campaign against sexual and gender-based violence. More than 50 per cent of the victims do not report. They suffer in silence. This Motion has come at the right time. It is an idea whose time has come. We cannot avoid it. I am very happy because this Motion has come at a time like this. I congratulate Hon. Jessica. I know she comes from Makueni where Mr. Nzomo made our community look like we are women batterers. I want to assure this House that ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I did not see any warning. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. With a lot of respect for the Leader of the Majority Party, aware that he has been here for more than two terms now, I agree such Motions may not be very important to this House. However, there is a first timer in this House who, according to his constituents, came here to propose Motions. Hon. Deputy Speaker is the Leader of the Majority Party in order to discourage new Members of Parliament in this House from bringing Motions and yet he sits in the HBC and they are the ones who admit these Motions ... view
