• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I also like what the amendment has attempted to do in terms of security of marginalised groups. Security is an important issue, but I would like it tightened a little because saying that political parties or the IEBC will “require”, “require” does not compel political parties well enough to ensure that security is offered to the candidates. We need to use a stronger word than “require” because if you “require”, you do not compel me. What if I do not do what you require me to do? What happens? So, these are the things we need to tighten just to ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Before I sit, I am happy about the amendment to the Election Offences Act, 2011. The proposed amendment is a strong one and I know it is going to help a lot of women to come forth and succeed. I have also looked at the proposed amendment on the media. We know that if you are campaigning, you cannot be everywhere every time and publicity is a strong thing in campaigns. If parties are compelled to ensure that the weak or the marginalised candidates are well facilitated in terms of publicity, it will go a long way in helping them ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I thank the Committee and as much as we failed in the past to enact or come up with laws that will make the one-third gender rule effected by Parliament, this is a great opportunity and a great step towards that. If Parliament believes in bringing up the weaker sex, in this case the women, this is a good opportunity for it to pass this and move to ensuring that we achieve gender parity. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have not been walking in and out of the Chamber. I want to speak as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. It is true the Clerks should be vigilant. On behalf of the Committee and our Chairman, we also take the blame. We apologise for what has happened. We were not as diligent as we should have been. We request that we stand down the Report and look at it later. Thank you. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak on the issue of Saudi Arabia. I listened to that report being moved. We know much about cases that have been reported about young people who have gone to Saudi Arabia to seek employment. Some of them have been reported dead. The mandate of the Committee, therefore, was to go and investigate the welfare of Kenyan workers in Saudi Arabia. The report is totally in conflict with what my expectation was. I speak knowing very well that the young people of Kisumu County, just like other young ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Kenyan citizens who go to work in Saudi Arabia? That Report falls short of answering that question. Because of that, I beg to oppose. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform Hon. Millie Odhiambo that I have wholly accepted Hon. Sankok. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Kindly, let the Member for Nyando know that when I stand to speak, I speak as a Member of Parliament for his county and Nyando Sub-County is part of Kisumu County. So, he should just be calm. I am speaking for him actually. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak about anti-corruption. We all know the effect corruption has had in our economy and we know the effect corruption has had on the lives of Kenyans. We know the sort of efforts that the Government and the people of Kenya are putting towards fighting corruption. When you talk about the handshake, the first thing you think of is the fight against corruption. So, when I stand to talk about anti-corruption, I am happy that the President and the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga, through their handshake, ... view
