• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have just listened to my colleagues as they made their speeches and gave examples of some political parties in South Africa and in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Let them know that our political parties in Kenya, as the hon. Member has just said, do not have democracy. I do not want to repeat what has been said. You have seen during nominations that people who do very well on the ground are denied certificates because, maybe, they are not close to the political leader or you are not in a certain cartel. ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I am sorry to say that if you look at the strong political parties in this House like Jubilee, they are formations of small political parties. If you remove those small political parties, CORD would be the biggest political party because we stood as a coalition. If you deny those political parties money, it means people are going to be intimidated during that time and manipulated. We do not get any favours as women because the field is dominated by men. When they look at you, they think that a woman cannot make it and you are denied a certificate. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I support this and I will go with it until the time democracy will be exercised in political parties and by our political leaders. If you are poor and you have no money to give, you will not get nomination. We have seen so many people here who have been denied certificates and they go out there. Even The Independent Party (TIP) has two Members of Parliament who are supposed to be receiving funding. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I support it. Even if I think of forming my political party in 2017, let me be funded if I am able to come to Parliament. Even independent candidates should be funded because where they contest, people pay taxes. You are supposed to be funded as long as you are a Member of Parliament, whichever seat you are running for. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I support the amendment and encourage all other Members to support this because come 2017, you will remember this amendment. Thank you. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Today is a historic day, listening to this story. I did not have an opportunity to read this story deeply, but after listening to the Chairperson of the Committee, I am confused because this land was allocated in 1919. As we proceed, there are so many people who are involved in the transactions on this piece of land. As we continue, you will see that the same group and companies are coming back. The Chairperson said after this piece of land was transferred to Telesource it was sub-divided. This is so confusing. The Chairperson ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I am more confused at the final stages of this piece of land because it seems that Mr. Arnold disappeared or died, and then the same lawyer who was a custodian of this piece of land transferred it to another company. The Committee had an opportunity to call and interrogate all the Ministers who have been in charge of that Ministry to date. They are about five. The Committee should not have jumped to the current Cabinet Secretary. It is like the National Assembly being accused for a mistake that was committed by the 10th Parliament without interrogating the Members ... view

• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to request mhe Aburi to apologise to women. Is he from Meru or Igembe? He is using very sarcastic language about women who cannot be on the Floor of the House to defend themselves.You are using abusive language to Kenyan women, wives and married women. Can you apologise? view
