• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Today is 16th February 2021, and Valentine’s Day ended, but you are still in red. So, I am going to take him up on that offer. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion before us. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and, indeed, the Committee has done a lot of work to come up with this Report. The most important thing that I get out of this Report is the human-wildlife conflict. We know that thousands of Kenyans have suffered because of human-wildlife conflict. In the Committee, we get cries from people who have suffered and have never been compensated. There are people who feel that the Government prefers to ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for some reason, Hon. Millie has fallen in love with me. Especially after Valentine! But I will eventually direct her to the former Speaker who is wearing red because we know Kenya stands for one woman one man and never two men. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Hon. Member confused me because she was speaking in English and she suddenly switched to Kiswahili and said ‘maneno ni mzuri.’ view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I kindly request the Hon. Member to explain what ‘ maneno ni mzuri’ is. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. You just made me laugh, but I will fight to contain myself. It is probably because I am moving towards that word that you just mentioned. Actions speak louder than words and louder than beliefs. In these raging moments when we are all talking about gender parity and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) going to address that issue, I want to congratulate the President for having been keen in his appointment. Five out of a membership of fourteen is definitely in the threshold of one-third. For me, as a proponent of the BBI, ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: difference in who is going to be elected as a President in America today is going to be determined by the youth who enrolled en masse to vote. Those young people are not looking at themselves as just a number in terms of age. Those young people are looking at these two men who are over 70 years of age and looking at qualities that they could have to unite their country. What we are discussing today is about the image of a country. It is just not enough to give somebody an opportunity to work because of their age. ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak my heart about people who seem to be forgotten and yet, they are expected to ensure that Kenyans remain alive, especially in this difficult time of Covid-19. I am a Member of this Committee. I applaud the Committee for having taken the initiative and for having been proactive to go around the police stations just to see that those people, who we call the police and who we are expecting to save Kenyan’s lives, what about them... We are talking about front-liners in this fight against Covid-19. ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: the police at risk. This calls for the recommendations of the Committee that the police must be better equipped against Covid-19 so that they are able to serve while ensuring that their lives are not at risk. I am sounding a bit emotional because when you watch those policemen hanging around and beyond 11 O’clock waiting to trap people who have been out drinking at odd hours, nobody cares. We only care that they do their duty. We must ensure that this category in our society is equipped. I know that the Committee members have taken it upon themselves that ... view
