• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand as a member of the Committee to support my Chair and oppose the amendment by the Senate. The civil society plays a very key role in regulating climate change activities, especially in carrying out discoveries, providing innovations and in being change-specific. This is a group of people in a position to effect very small changes as far as climate change is concerned. Balancing the membership to include the civil society, to me, is paramount. I oppose the Senate amendment and support the Committee’s position. view

• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand here to support the report of the Committee on the amendments by the Senate. I would in particular like to bring out clause 10 in which the Senate was proposing that we do away with the representation from the Attorney-General and instead replace it with the Council of Governors. It is very clear that the functions of the national Government are quite clear and those of the county government are also clear. In this regard, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is a function of the national Government and the proposal that we include ... 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
