• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: want to see action. In some cases, it is like a Bill is passed and signed into law and then people sit back in the office, wait until the following year and the money is returned to the Treasury. So, please, follow it up. You are doing a good job. I was not there last time, but I have listened to the Members of Parliament who were there in the Tenth Parliament. I think you are doing a good job. I congratulate you. Thank you. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Allow me to thank the Mover for giving me the two minutes. I want to register my thanks to the President. While I believe you do not need to belabor the point on the Speech because it was well articulated, the issues that the President spoke about is what the Jubilee Government has done, although in this country the leader of the Opposition has a duty to always look north while the Government looks south. So, he can, of course, say there is nothing the Government has done. I want talk about the EACC and encourage ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to have a contrary opinion by leaving the issue to the court to subject the victim, be it in camera or otherwise. I feel we should expressively state in the law that the judgement should be made while only the concerned parties are present. I do not see why we should let the court to decide, as it is traditional. Not all judges may be reading from the same page. Today, a judge can be in a good mood and decide to do it in camera. So, should we not put it in black ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am most excited because the day this Bill started its journey I was in Ol Kalou Constituency rescuing a girl who had been subjected to gender-based violence. She had been raped and had real problems. I am happy because the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee has given justice to Kenyan people today. I am also happy because of the women caucus at that corner. They have walked through this journey with us. In fact, they have brought us together, done a lot of research and they have been encouraging us. Finally, I wish ... view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, this New Clause 2A intends to ask institutions like Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) to have a desk with an interpreter so that if a deaf person visited them, they can be assisted. In police stations, they can put a desk aside so that in case a deaf person is arrested, an interpreter is availed. Time and again, those people have suffered because of not being able to communicate well. Under Section 21A, that institutional body shall disseminate to the public information regarding the availability of sign language interpreters for the deaf and facilities for the blind person within ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. As I appreciate the Members who are concerned of the cost, it is clear that when issues of persons with disabilities are brought, we always think of the cost. I was interpreting sign language when I worked in one bank in Kenya. I learnt the language at work. It is not necessarily that it is too much cost. If they can employ the other staff, they can also employ a sign language interpreter. For instance, the PCEA Church at Milimani has a sign language interpreter during the service. So, even the churches are going in that ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Just as a point of information to my good colleague, several universities and churches are nowadays teaching sign language, particularly the University of Nairobi (UoN). There are several graduates who have qualified. view
