• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support this amendment because NGAAF and gender are one and the same thing. When NGAAF gets the money, it will undertake the actual gender we are talking about. This is because gender is about men and women and NGAAF deals with the most marginalised. So, I think it shall be dealing with the exact purpose it was set for. Also, we have no problem with NGEC. Actually, as Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), we work together with their Chair and Commissioners. So, I do not think there is any bad blood ... view

• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: When this Bill is passed, a girl in Kirinyaga County somewhere who never thought that she would sit in the august House will be sitting here one day because of what we shall have done as Members of this House. I am so thankful to all Members and even the leadership of this House for letting this be something that will happen during our lifetime.

You realise that when some ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: When we use Parliament as a spring board, I believe girls who have never discovered their power or momentum will come through this Parliament and will achieve things that they may never have achieved.

I have been privileged to go to the Commission on Status of Women (CSW) in New York where Kenya has always been represented for almost 15 years and promised that we would come back as a well composed august House. However, these have only been promises. I will be happy to report in the next CSW that we have attained the two-thirds gender principle. A country like Kenya runs on two engines ... view
