• 19 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am happy to see this Bill because I work with communities at the grassroots. Social workers will be advisors to our people once we promote them. People will have someone to run to, especially those from communities that still practise female genital mutilation. Some communities still force their daughters to get married. Sometimes, they have no one to run to. Social workers should be well-trained professionals so as to guide, advice and counsel people with problems. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: With those reasons, I support the Bill. Their welfare should be looked into and they should be paid salaries. They should be recognised because they work in our communities. view

• 19 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Equalisation Fund (Administration) Bill. From the onset, equalisation means uplifting those communities or groups that were intentionally left behind while others get ahead of them. The Constitution clearly defines who these communities are. If you want to see them, do not go far. Just come to Narok, which I represent.

• 19 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: contributing, I was almost crying because Narok is very close to Nairobi, and people assume that the residents there have electricity, water, and roads. We are in a pathetic condition. Recently, we went to tell His Excellency the President that we do not have electricity, and he sent people to do a survey. When they reported back to him, he allocated Ksh100 million to us because he did not think that was the situation. I thank him for that, but Ksh100 million is like a drop in the ocean. We still do not have electricity yet we keep saying that ... view
• 2 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the disappearance of Mr. John Maina Wanjiru, holder of Passport No. BK436079, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mr. John Maina Wanjiru has been residing in Saudi Arabia since May 2023, when he moved there for employment. However, his family, with whom he maintained regular communication, claims to have lost contact with him on 25th June 2024, raising concerns about his safety and whereabouts. Since then, the family has ... view
• 29 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to join other Members who have spoken in support of the debate on the Bill brought by Hon. Makali. This is about Members of Parliament. I do not think it has to do with anybody because we are not asking for additional money. We are using our money to ensure we lead a comfortable life after our stay in Parliament. I do not see where we are going wrong. I also appreciate that the Parliamentary Service Commission will run the money. That will give more respect to Members of Parliament. This will assure ... view

• 29 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: respect. It is like we are asking for more money for ourselves. Everybody talks dirty about us. We do not care because we will fight out the way we fought when we came in. I support the Bill by saying it is important. It is time we agreed to look at and care for ourselves. We will have a hard time if we do not do that before we leave this House. Thank you. view
• 27 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the nomination of Rehema as the Chairperson of the National Gender and Equality Commission. Commissions perform a lot of good work. The problem is funding. I was the Chairperson of the Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Board (Anti-FGM). We know the commissioners are not supposed to be in their offices, but in the field. The money they are given is not enough to facilitate them to meet the people they are supposed to talk to. It is time we looked at the commissions that are supposed to promote equal opportunities for women. They ... view
