A niece of the late Robert Ouko, she was interested in politics in 1992. She recalls how she realized where her fate was in 1990s, when she followed her family discussions on political developments in the country. She used to follow keenly political activists like Paul Muite and James Orengo since she had an interest in people’s rights and justice. She gained experience in developing a solid manifesto and campaign structure during the campaigns of her husband Eric Nyamunga, former Nyando MP. In her manifesto, she promised economic empowerment for the youth and women, adult education for women, mentorship for girls and sports opportunities in the county.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to oppose the Bill. I do not oppose it for the sake of opposing it. Issues that concern women have been a very big struggle in this country. Every time any issue touching on women is brought to this House or any other place, there is always a general negative attitude towards it. I do not think by now, as women sitting in this House, we should continue--- No! It is about the women. I do not think that we should continue---

Any issue touching on the female gender has always been treated with a lot of impunity. I do not think women should continue taking this type of treatment lying down. I think it is high time we said enough is enough and moved forward. If anything, it is women who vote men into this House. When it comes to anything touching on our issues it has always received a very raw deal. I think time has come, as women, to say enough is enough and move on.

The Bill which is before this House must be rejected in totality no matter the amount of mobilising other people. We have tried our best and even taken these men for dinner. What was the dinner for?

What I am raising is very serious. The Leader of the Majority Party, please listen in silence. I want to be categorical. What the court came up with was a formula to cure an anomaly which is already in the Constitution. This House can be dissolved anytime. I think women should go to court and be enjoined in the case which is there because enough is enough. We cannot take it anymore. We must be given what is due to us. What we want is a formula. This Bill was meant to have been passed on 27th August, this year. ...

I oppose this Bill and I want all women to oppose this Bill. Women have fought enough. We went to Beijing, we have done everything that we needed to do but nothing is working. So, this time, it is finished.
