• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support this Bill and am sorry I cannot contain myself. Despite the fact that I support it, I would like to say that the definition of the word ‘couple’ needs to be expanded. This is because as has already been said, a couple does not necessarily have to be a married. We have some 40 or 50years old who are single but intelligent and mature enough to make decisions, give consents and get into agreements of using the assisted technology to enable them have a child. view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Many times, Hon. Millie has told this House that she does not have a child but I am sure by coming up with this Bill, she has given an answer and opportunity to many women and men who want to get children. But because of lack of information on what to do or because of wrong information, they still have not had children. This Bill gives an opportunity to thousands of men and women in this country to have children of their own. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the creation of the authority is something that makes me support this Bill. The composition of the authority is very intense and has a broad-based membership. You will find that an ordinary man or woman can be a member of that authority, thus giving it the opportunity to get input from not just medical doctors or professionals, but also from ordinary Kenyans. The one thing that stands out for me in this Bill is two words - consent and agreement. For example, I maybe a woman in her 40s and in my dreams, I have always dreamt of ... view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: What I like about this, is that it protects this whole process from misuse. Nobody can just wake up and say: “I do not want to give birth the natural way. Let me go for this technology.” There will be no opportunity for that. Everything and all tests must show you are unable to get a child in the natural way for you to partake this technology. As I finish, I would like to thank Hon. Millie for coming up with this Bill. I would like to request her to allow for amendments which I am sure Members will come ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, today is a really exciting day for me. I support the amendment that has just been raised by the Chair. It is so clear that we will enhance the lives of the people in this country by going to the core where it matters, but not rhetoric on the streets. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: We will remove Excise Duty on locally produced confectionery and heighten what we tax or levy imported confectionery because the local manufacturers employ thousands of Kenyans. It is also true that the boda boda industry takes care of so many of our young people. I am happy because the Chair of the Committee is a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). This clearly indicates that the party that cares about the people in this country is not the one that is out on the streets with rhetoric. It is the one that brings proper legislation to the House that ... view

• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to continue with what I was saying before we went for lunch. For avoidance of doubt, I fully support the Constitution (Amendment) Bill of 2020. The Constitution conclusively deals with the issue of the two-thirds gender rule. We know that this has dogged this Parliament and all Kenyans at large, for a long long time. But the proposed amendment goes even beyond the expectations, especially in the Senate where it offers a 50-50 per cent representation for both genders. It is not just in the percentage. It also gives women equal ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I vote yes. view
