• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I may need your direction on the issue, because it did not emanate from a resolution of this House. As far as I know, it emanated from a request for a statement. If it was not a resolution of the House, then I am not sure it should come to my Committee on Implementation. view

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
