• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. It makes sure that there is no ambiguity. This gives the Bill the necessary predictability of the law. view

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Motion. When you read the history of older Parliaments like the Westminster, the British Parliament, there is a lot you can read and understand. You will get to know how Motions were developed and how they used to do things. We have learnt from their records their history, and many Parliaments have established from that. The history of any institution goes a long way in giving anybody coming to learn about that institution information on activities, events and everything when properly documented. These are ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: events and activities including at the Committee stage where people do not know how it functions is important. People think that Parliament only functions at the plenary but, it is at the Committees where all laws are refined and done. Most work is done at the Committee. When new Members in the near future come, they can go to the library, dig in the books, look at the records and read about proceedings of the Parliament and all that. I support this Motion and believe it will go a long way to document the activities of this House. Thank you ... view
• 16 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance also to speak to this. From the onset, I want to oppose this amendment. If the founding of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 addressed all human rights issues, we should never have come up with other human rights agencies. We have human rights dealing with people with disabilities (PWDs), women, and children, because the other one was inadequate and was not addressing all those issues. It is a misplaced priority to say that we merge these two commissions into one and that they will address the ... view
• 16 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: assigned to them through legislation. This is a defeatist approach which I believe should not go through. Let us maintain the two commissions. The National Gender and Equality Commission has done very well, especially on the issues dealing with disabilities. They have addressed issues of disabilities much more than the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. So, I believe this will be done very well if we maintain these commissions separately. I hold the view that we must rethink and we should not write off the benefits and the gains these two groups have made. I have listened to the ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Water is life. If we do not take care of our water catchment towers, very soon this country is going to run into trouble. Most of our water towers have been destroyed by human degradation. People have wantonly destroyed forests. Not long ago, we had rivers bursting with clean water. You could drink that water without treatment. You could just go to the river and drink the water. This has been completely destroyed. Some rivers have dried up. For example, when you look at the Mara and Mau areas, you do not see any ... view
