• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also stand to support this Bill. The Bill is not only timely but also important. It is important for all of us to understand what the whole issue of in-vitro fertilisation, commonly known as IVF, is all about. The gist of the Bill is provision a legal framework to protect a situation where there is difficulty in child bearing. The situation has not been commonly talked about. It has not been protected legally in this country. What we all know is the pain, suffering and agony that childless women or men, who are not able ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: communities where a woman is not able to have her own children, she is allowed to actually ‘marry’ a woman to get children for her own lineage and succession purposes. So, it is not a foreign concept. What I want to urge hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona is to find a way--- I am aware that the Departmental Committee on Health is thinking of ways of expanding this Bill, so that we are not talking of IVF only; we can expand it and include all other methods of assisted reproduction, so that women and, indeed, families can be helped. This is because ... view

• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to join colleagues in tendering condolences to all the families who have lost their loved ones on my own behalf, on behalf of the people of Narok County and my family. I want to join one Member who lamented the amount of time we give to such serious matters as a House. I do not think the magnitude of the issue of Garissa should be left to less than an hour for us to deliberate on. Having said that, I have a lot to talk about our response mechanism to insecurity issues ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. By all means, I am not a voting machine like hon. Mbadi claims. We are on this side. Thank you, hon. Musimba for donating the two minutes to me. However, I must say that I am sorry I oppose this Motion in the strongest terms possible. The allegations pointed out by hon. Musimba are not only vexatious, but also malicious and least of all, unfounded. What we have been treated to is a list of trivialities and very generic statements. By all means, hon. Musimba has blown things out of proportion. A Motion addressing the ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish to add my voice and join my colleagues in sending my sincere condolences to the families of hon. Grace Ogot and hon. Justice Kasanga Mulwa. On hon. Grace Ogot, she has been a trendsetter in honouring, respecting, promoting and guarding the rights of women of this country. Given that he was also a former Member of this House, I wish to urge my colleagues that the best way we can honour hon. Grace Ogot is by passionately and in a concerted effort support the two-thirds gender threshold as enshrined in our Constitution. It will ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Chairman. I stand to support the proposal by the Chairperson of the Committee, particularly for the reason that he has widened the scope for protection of children against violence from the restrictive provisions of the Act as it is right now. By including “any other person, with the leave of the court,” we are giving locus standi to any person who may see the need to protect a child from domestic violence to actually secure protection for that particular child. With all these other people listed here, there will be sufficient protection to children. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I believe we are still trying to clarify the issue. view
