• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: we look at their charges. It is common that an ordinary mwananchi will feel good to be using Kenya Airways as a means of transportation. But unfortunately they cannot afford the fares; yet we are calling it the pride of Kenya. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to open our markets to allow even the youth and children who normally come to visit the National Assembly to fly to this place. That is the only way we can motivate our children to look forward and be encouraged to take careers that they dream about. Kenya Airways has made it impossible ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other day we were at the airport and the way one of my colleagues was treated was shameful. She was rushing to her county to attend Mashujaa Day celebrations and her ticket could not be changed. She was told to step aside so that other people could be attended to. She was told that she could not be helped. They did not even suggest to her to visit the sales office to be helped. She was pushed out of the line and that was not a good image for our Kenya Airways which calls itself ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The other day I was travelling and I was treated quite well by a different airline but when we connected to our own Kenya Airways, we were really mistreated. So, I urge that this Motion be supported by my fellow Members in the House to have other operators coming into the market to compete with Kenya Airways. Maybe this will shape them up and they will know that it is time for competition. We will get qualified staff, everything will be put in line and this will be healthy for our economy. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Motion. Thank you. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I would like to have a clarification on the Mpeketoni incident; what we have in the media and what is going on are more of land issues. Is the land the major issue that caused the attacks in Mpeketoni? We see the Cabinet Secretary busy revoking some title deeds. Are the owners of these title deeds the ones who caused the attack in Mpeketoni? How are insecurity and land related? We want that to be clarified; from what he has read, there is nothing touching on land, yet land is now the major issue. It is ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona for coming up with this Bill. It is a very important Bill at this time in our country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have had very many cases which have come up. When you look at the victims that have been affected, usually they have no one to protect them or they do not have anywhere to go. We have had many cases where victims are attacked and at the end of the day, you find that it is your father or a relative who has attacked ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: place where such victims can be put. In other countries, you will find that once a matter is reported in a police station, they have a centre where they refer victims. The centre has everything and evidence is preserved. Once you enter the centre, you will get all the facilities that you need so that you do not walk out, the way we do here. Our victims have to walk to police stations to look for police abstracts. Sometimes one is so traumatized that he may not even know where he is going. Therefore, if we have all these facilities ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to start by congratulating my colleague, hon. Wanjiku Muhia, for bringing this Bill to the House. I support it for our sisters and brothers who are unable to watch or listen to what is happening around the nation. It is important that our television or the media industry considers those who are unable to hear or watch, especially now, when everybody is enjoying the World Cup football contest. Our deaf and blind brothers and sisters are unable to follow what is happening. So, it is very important for them to be considered ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I rise to support the amendment that we obtain a warrant anytime someone wants to do a search. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I rise to support the amendment by hon. Jakoyo. As women representatives in the country, it will be necessary for us to be given that chance to nominate persons with disability. view
