• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I was prepared to contribute to something else, but not to this particular one. Thank you. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Presidential Speech. Just to mention, in the history of this country since Independence, we have had so many injustices that have taken place but at no point have we heard a person of the calibre of the president apologising to the nation. By apologising for such injustices, on behalf of previous presidents and governments, the President set a pace which ought to change this nation. As a nation, we need to heal from past injustices. Once an apology is given, if forgiveness is given, it brings healing. The President has set ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Committee for the deliberations on the Chairperson of that particular Commission. I want to thank the Committee for analysing the situation as it were and coming up with those resolutions. The Committee has demonstrated impartiality. It has also shown that it understands some of the challenges being faced by certain commissions. The Committee is keen to seeing that gender matters are actually upheld rightly. I just take this opportunity to congratulate you for coming up with these issues. It is important that we assist the Gender Commission. ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I thank hon. Wangamati for coming up with this particular Motion. To me, it evokes a lot of emotions. There are names of certain places in my county of Bungoma that I later came to learn that had a lot to do with the liberation struggle of this country. We have places like Mabanga, which in the local language means “a place where blood was shed”. If you inquire why it was given that name, you will learn that our people died in the ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: resisted the British colonial rule were killed. Up to now, the people living in those places are stigmatised because of the manner in which their people were killed. There are certain phrases that were used at that time, for example the “war of diarrhoea” which in the Luhya language means “the war of kumunyalasia”, which means war where resistance of people armed with crude weapons could not march the British defences, who were armed with guns. People were killed in such a manner that they could not withstand. As we talk of how to compensate the victims of the struggle ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support this particular clause but I have concerns on part (a) which says: “The President shall be referred to as “His or Her Excellency.” I tend to think that this part (a) is hanging because we are saying “His Excellency” then you move on and say “His Excellency the Deputy President.” I think part (a) needs to be completed. It needs to read: “The President shall be referred to as His or Her Excellency the President”. I also want to add my voice to the issue of MCAs. It will be ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this Motion in the sense that the House Business must go on and as such we need to approve this particular list. However, it is very important and of great concern that we have to look at the conduct of some of the Members of this particular Committee. For real, the integrity of this House is at stake given the conduct of some of the Members who are on this Committee. As we go on, it is very important that we do vet in a special way ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am also interested in this matter. I want to thank my colleague here, hon. Nyokabi, for bringing up this matter to this House. I am worried because this is where we have a lot of corruption. We are not even being told how those items reach the counties or constituencies. Maybe, the Chair should tell us the schools which have benefited from that exercise so that we can also be aware. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I also come from a county where we have squatters. You know squatter children cannot access those facilities. I request the Chair to come up with good measures so that we can also benefit from that exercise. view
