• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, every time the said militia executes those heinous attacks, they disappear into the expansive Laikipia Nature Conservancy. It is evident that the frequency of those attacks has been aggravated by the Government's decision to disarm all local National Police Reservists who have been very instrumental in providing security in the affected areas. Numerous efforts to resolve this matter have been futile as exemplified by the fact that the Government has deployed Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) of the National Police Service in the area, but the attacks have persisted and intensified. It is against this background that I seek ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Members, as we contribute to this Bill, one wise man once said that sometimes for you to be heard, you do not have to raise your voice all the time, at times you improve the argument. For the women of this nation, the special interest groups, the persons with disabilities and ethnic minorities, through this Bill, we are improving our argument. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: For the women of this country, we know how many times we have attempted to bring Bills to this House to give effect to Article 100 of the Constitution and you know what has happened. We have gone to the length of even sweet talking our colleagues here and taking them for dinner. We have also seen party leaders finding their way to the galleries. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for protecting me but it is a fact. You have seen party leaders finding their way to the galleries to come and laugh at the women in the name of supporting them while we knew they never even at one point called for parliamentary caucuses to lobby for support of our Bill. I plead with the Members of this House that there is a time when we have to use our positions. I want to take cognisance of the women who came to this House before us, who did a great job in Naivasha to have ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is the Leader of the Majority Party in order to mislead this House that he is giving me directions to go to church and repent? I also want to remind him, because he seems to suffer from some selective amnesia, that His Excellency the President of this nation was actually nominated by His Excellency the second President of this nation. I do not know why he is only mentioning the women. Plus, he cannot purport to say that the women in this House have been made by nominations. We worked for those parties to get nominations. I do ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is still in regard to the Question that Hon. (Bishop) Mwangaza asked. My good friend, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Majority Party, Hon. Mbadi, will agree with me that… view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I mean the Leader of the Minority Party. Sorry. May I continue, Hon. Speaker? view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The Budget and Appropriations Committee appropriates a lot of monies to the Ministry of Education. So, I encourage Hon. Mwangaza to raise such issues because Members will agree with me that the money we allocate to the NG-CDF is never enough for us to develop all the infrastructure in our constituencies. The Member is in order to ask such a Question to the Cabinet Secretary. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to contribute to this Representation of Special Interest Groups Laws (Amendment) Bill of 2019 under the very able leadership of my Chairman who actually gave a lot of his time and brain. As a person and as a Member of the Special Interest Groups, being a woman and getting elected in some of the very patriarchal society was not a mean achievement. You realise that the biggest impediment and road block to election of women in this country is the political parties. If there is real wakora network, it is the ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. What I actually mean is politics is about connections. Some of us are young mothers, women and wives. Sometimes the call of duty demands that I leave Parliament and go straight to my House to cook for my family and take care of my baby. But it is an open secret that men will be meeting at Serena Hotel and Intercontinental Hotel and before you know it, somebody is walking with a direct ticket in their pockets. view
