• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I urge this House to stand up to the test of time and give this country a Media Council Bill that supports co-regulation and confirms that the 11th Parliament is, indeed, implementing the Constitution. Thank you. view

• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. (Ms.) Shebesh, Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think to the extent that Clause 7(1) has already been amended, and this matter did cause a lot of discussion in the Committee, I support the Chair that Clause 7(2) be deleted so that, as we move forward, really, this is an important Bill that is required for our families. It has been cleaned up by the Committee and it allows all the parties in the marriage to contribute to the property. I do hope that now because the contentious clause has been dealt with, we can then proceed, having deleted ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Chairlady. It was on a light note but this is a fairly important matter. I think that Members of this House who are male have got to allow this debate on marriage to go on. view

It is very sad that some Members of the Committee who had opportunity to canvass these matters in the Committee--- We spent a lot of time in the Committee on these matters. I am compelled to oppose the deletion of (d) and urge this House that we keep this clause because it is ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my point of order is on the reference to African matters by the Leader of Majority Party. Does it mean that Africans do not marry, and should not marry according to law? Africans also do marry. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am happy to contribute to this debate and I am one of those people who actually come into this Legislature in this new term having been elected by the good people of Nyeri County. Not very long ago, I appeared before the courts and not very long ago, I appeared actually when the courts were not reformed and when the courts have been reformed. I really want to say that I support the judicial reforms going on and the gains that have been achieved, especially the pro-poor access to justice that is led by the ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support a lot of what is going on. I support a lot of the work of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Therefore, when these matters came to us, it became a very difficult matter because we recognise that some work has been done; where the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
