• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity. From the outset, I support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I stand here as a woman representative of Kisumu County, one of the areas in this country that was highest hit and bore the biggest brunt of election violence. It is in Kisumu County where young people lost their lives senselessly. Kisumu County bears the brunt of having innocent children being killed while their mothers were holding them. I speak on behalf of baby Pendo who was senselessly killed while the mother was holding her just ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: regions are included, more of them get ownership of the Government of this country. As such, we will not have a situation where some people will be eating as others are drooling over their meat. I know that some people have come up to say that we are creating jobs through the expanded Executive. I dare say that the people who are going to occupy those positions are people who will have been already elected and they will be Members of this House. So, what will be enhanced is extra responsibility and not new people occupying new positions. My mind ... view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there has been a huge public outcry in dismay on all forms of media regarding this sad situation that occurred in my county of Kisumu. In recent times, Kisumu County has been undergoing some development activities which have led to numerous demolitions displacing many small business traders. In an unfortunate turn of events, one of these, a female hawker, in an attempt to sale her wares, was accosted by the county officials. Her wares were confiscated and she was dragged behind a moving vehicle on a tarmac road for a distance of about 500 metres. Hon. Speaker, this ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will not apologise for the emotional delivery of Hon. (Dr.) Makali’s speech. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I am a Member of that Committee and represents the feeling of all Members of that Committee. Hon. Speaker, I sympathise with Members when they come and almost shed tears about insecurity matters in their constituencies. Without security, nothing can move. Many times, the Committee has had to call of its meeting the very last minute, for instance, five or two minutes to, because of no reason. When Members complain about shoddy answers, it is because there has been no interaction and no time given to respond to the Questions and requests from the Members. We know and we always ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, can you just give me an opportunity to say this? Most of the work in Parliament is done within committees. We all know that. Committees are made useless when they sit and come up with decisions based on valid rationales, and yet even when it comes to decisions on the budget, those rationales are not taken into account. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: You have heard my colleague talk about the correctional services. It was sad for the Committee to sit and watch a grown officer weep because of the effect of no money being set aside for promotions of officers in correctional services. When the Committee unanimously agreed and decided that the Ksh1 billion should be left within correctional services, you have heard my colleague say that just a phone call changed all that. My question is what then is the work of the Committees in the budget-making process? That means we spend our time and taxpayers’ money and whatever we come ... view
