• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am really grateful that I have this opportunity to speak to this Motion. This is because I come from one of the pastoralist communities. However, there is a difference between my community and the communities from the north. I come from the Maasai community which historically embraced cattle rustling as a way of life, but I am proud to say that it is a converted community; a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: community that has embraced education. It is a community that has addressed other ways of economic empowerment and it is a community that believes in women as leaders even now. I would like to tell our brothers from the north that cattle rustling is nothing to glorify. Cattle rustling is something to be ashamed of. It is something that leaders from those areas must bring to an end. I sympathise with the victims, particularly women and children, because whenever there are such issues, the people who are affected most are women. By supporting or setting up a fund for cattle ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I am sorry. I wanted to contribute to another amendment. view

• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale, for moving this Bill. This is a great day in the history of the 11th Parliament and in the history of our country. Just before Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo started talking, the debate was going on very well. I am sure the Kenyan women were happy. I even wish you had allowed me to speak before him because he has spoilt the mood of the House. If it were not for the language that he has used, he had some very ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: As I support this Bill, I want to agree with Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo that this House must address the issue of the size of the political class in the National Assembly, the Senate and the county assemblies. It is crucial for us to think of Kenyans and the taxes they pay to maintain the political class. Hon. Midiwo had a point, but the way he brought it is wrong. This Bill tries to address some of these issues. This Bill is encouraging women to get into the political battlefield, but comes up with a top-up in case we do not ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know that most of us made it to this House through very difficult circumstances and the whole country knows about it. We went through discrimination in very conservative patriarchal societies. With this Bill, Kenyan women will be given a chance to be voted in. In case they are not elected, such challenges will be addressed by a top-up. If we pass this Bill and encourage the county assemblies to follow through, we will reduce the burden on the taxpayers. I support the inclusion of Kenyan women in leadership because there is no way this country can ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, women like Ms. Rosa Buyu, would have been in this House if CORD was democratic. We have women like Ms. Rosa Buyu in Nyanza who would have made it were it not for the bad dictatorial policies. I support. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The Jubilee Government has made good strides and progress in providing Kenyans with energy. However, a number of our schools are still yet to be connected to the national grid because of challenges, particularly in rural areas where land is sparse and geographical coverage is huge. It has been part of the Jubilee Government Manifesto to provide power to Kenyans, particularly schools because of the laptop project. The REA has tried. In a number of areas, we only have lines that do not have power. I urge that we continue ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: constituents have been offered compensation of 30 per cent whereas in other areas like Makueni, they have been granted 85 per cent compensation. All Kenyans must be treated equally and must be seen to be equal. I urge the CS for Energy, who was our colleague, Sen. Keter, to look into these issues, instead of the locals being harassed by KETRACO and being told that they will be taken to court and yet that is their land. If the Government must use their land, they need to be compensated fairly. I wanted to use this opportunity to express solidarity with ... view
