• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House:- Report of the Committee on Implementation on a Study Visit to the US Congress view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we may have to do this together with the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives, but I wish to work on it in the next two weeks. view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important discussion; I specifically wish to point out that we have had laws in this country for a long time, which actually outlaw some of these harmful cultural practices; an example is the Children Act of 2001. I wish to inform the Leader of the Majority Party that, that law is 13 years old, yet as late as early last week we were still seeing misguided members of communities coming out against Government policies and laws by supporting FGM. view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, these days you hear even some people sugarcoating the Act, and talking of “Female Genital Cutting” as if that makes it a better evil. It is clear to every one of us in this country that the strategies that have been applied in the fight against FGM have failed miserably, particularly from the side of NGOs that have been at the forefront of fighting FGM. They have commercialised the championship against FGM. They are interested in donor funding and whatever it is that donors feel is the right way to go; that is the way they are ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, I am just asking the Leader of the Majority Party to take note that our laws are not being implemented as they ought to be, and we want to know which direction the Government is taking to make sure that other measures that have been employed, like the alternative rites of passage, work. I do not think we need an alternative to FGM. It is criminal and we should not try to sugarcoat it, and make it look like we need to substitute something else for it. It should be outlawed and outlawed completely; we should rein in NGOs ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you; I think it is uncouth and wrong for a Member of this House to mislead Kenyans against a law that has been passed by this honourable House by saying that we support FGM. I think he ought not to be sitting in this House. view

• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon.Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. I wish to support the Bill and the amendments proposed therein. These are issues that touch on the daily lives of Kenyans. It is very important in many respects. First, we need to get certain that accident compensations are clear for the victims, the insurance companies and some of the owners of these motorvehicles that we are talking about. So that if you go on to endanger the life of a Kenyan, you know what is at stake on the other side. We ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: student who losses her or his limbs way below his or her life expectancy and the potential they would have by the time they reach their optimum life expectancy, requires specific compensation. Another example is of an athlete who suffers from an accident and losses his legs and is not able to continue with their career. For an artist, who losses his voice and is not able to continue singing, his career is cut short because of an accident on our roads. This is might arise, as is commonly the case, from recklessness. As I support this Bill, I wish ... view
