• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this time. This is a very important Motion knowing that we are faced with a lot of challenges in this country. Particularly, climate change is a disaster that is stressing the world. With a population of 40 million and estimated one million every year, we have a responsibility as a country to grow more than 100 million trees each year. If we compare with the 10 per cent forest coverage, then we have a responsibility as a nation to grow more than seven billion trees. With that estimate, I come from ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to second his Motion because we are trying to address issues in the future; we must holistically look at things when they are brought to this House. It means all bodies that work on roads must be included so that other bodies do not think that is their responsibility. Planning for the future, we must holistically address all issues when they come to this Floor of the House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I am seconding the amendment by saying that all bodies that are implementing work on roads on behalf of the Government should be included so that one does not run away from their responsibilities. Thank you. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, Sir. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. From the outset, I would like to support the Motion. Before I do that, I would like to take this chance to congratulate the President of this nation on his swearing in ceremony. As a House, we need to insist on peaceful coexistence among the people of this nation and we have a responsibility to talk on behalf of every Kenyan so that the country can move forward. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Traffic jam is a very serious problem in this country. It has led to wastage of a lot of resources and time. I commend the Mover for bringing this Motion because it is very important. However, I believe we have traffic rules and regulations in place. We need to do further research into the existing rules and policies to identify the gaps which should be brought to this House so that we can amend the existing laws. We should not bring Motions for debate in this House before looking at what we already have in order to strengthen what we ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: In my own opinion, discipline is the most important thing when dealing with traffic in this county. There is lack of discipline among road users. We waste a lot of time because of this. We need to improve our road technology, so that we can identify drivers who defy rules for them to be charged accordingly. The roads in Nairobi can be properly used if there is discipline. We should always be mindful of other road users. I remember one day I asked my driver why he wanted to move before the other person and he told me that we ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: The other thing is that this House has a lot of respect and decorum. When we are contributing to Motions and debates which the whole world is watching, we must carry ourselves with respect and decorum. A colleague was talking about Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and saying that the police pave way for them as they go for tea with their girlfriends. It is not right for you to use women as objects in this House. We condemn it in the highest terms possible. We will not allow that. We know CSs are very important people in this country and they ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to take this chance to support the Motion of Adjournment. I did not get a chance to contribute to the Supplementary Estimates. I know they are crucial and very important estimates that we have just approved as a House. The major increments have gone to day school education. Day secondary school education is something that was in the Government manifesto. We promised Kenyans that we will have free secondary school education. I am very happy to be part of the people who this evening has approved ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: personnel. We must be humble. These are the people who are protecting our country. They are the same people who stand in during difficult times. If you look at the houses they live in, it is a problem. The National Treasury must bring estimates and budgets that will give decent housing to our security personnel. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because of time, I am a worried woman of this country. When you see women coming out of their houses to throw stones, then it is not a good sign. This is our country. Women and politicians of this nation must ... view
