• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I speak knowing very well as somebody who has tried to come to this House for the last 12 years, but did not make it. Now that I have come, I am ready to serve this country very diligently. I hope that I will serve for 10 years. At the end of that, I will, at least, look up to the country to say a big thank you to me by ensuring that I get a monthly pension which can help me to look after myself. It will be good if this pension is summed up or calculated as a ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: As I sit down, I would like to thank the MP for Suba South, Hon. Mbadi, who also sits as the Leader of the Minority Party and also the Chairman of the ODM party for ensuring, once again, and showing that, indeed, ODM is a party that cares for the citizens of this country and that ODM is a party that does not take people for granted, but looks after the lives and welfare of people who have diligently served this country. I thank him and, I support. Thank you. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I apologise that my gadget was not in order. I rise on a point of order to question the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party. He has already stated how poor Kenyans are. Is he in order to stand and taunt it on us and brag about how rich he is in the face of such poverty amongst all Kenyans? I thank you. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, as I support this Bill, this amendment to Article 100 does not in any way replace the dictates of the Constitution under Articles 27 and 81. Article 27 of the Constitution deals with gender parity in all general aspects, both in elective positions at whatever level and appointive positions in whatever sector. However, the amendment to Article 100 of the Constitution that we are discussing today zeroes in only on representation in Parliament. Having said that, the amendment to Article 100 of the Constitution helps us to move towards the achievement ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The other reason why I support the amendment is because of the widespread consultations the Committee has had before proposing the amendment they have brought. They have consulted stakeholders like the IEBC, the Law Reform Commission and the Attorney- General. So, what they have come up with today is something that is well informed and worthy of support. For that reason, I support it. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I have tried to contest in a single constituency in two elections. First of all, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to congratulate you. I have heard you being commended for having come back a second time yet you are a woman. I commend you because I know exactly what you went through. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: In the two attempts that I made, I noted that the biggest problem women candidates face is violence. I am a strong woman and when I set out to campaign - I was hoping Hon. Olago Aluoch would be here to confirm that - he loses almost 20 kilogrammes each time we contest for an election because Hon. Rozaah Akinyi Buyu gives him sleepless nights. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: But I would like to confirm that the violence women face is almost impossible to surmount and this Bill tries to curb it. This Bill tries to shield the marginalised groups like women from the abuses and derogatory names they are called during such contests. As I stand here today, I am a mother of three grown up children, but during elections, like many other women, I have endured being called names that I cannot mention and it happened in front of my children. Many women who might not be as strong as I am will shy away in order ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: know that we are compelling them and tying it to something to ensure that they do not kill what the amendment seeks to do. view
