• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What does the hon. Member mean when he says “wheelbarrow”? Do we look like wheelbarrows? When you look at us, do we look like wheelbarrows? view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion. It is important for the Ethiopian Government to stop the construction of the Gibe 3 Hydro Power Dam until an independent and comprehensive environmental and social impact assessment is done. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The Ethiopian Government has said that it has a good relationship with us. We cannot have a good relationship when they want to finish and destroy our people. A relationship has to work between two people and not one way. Their people have been crossing over to Kenya, killing our people and nothing has been done about it. Are they better human beings than us? It is high time that the Kenya Government also protected the Kenyan people. If they construct that dam, what will happen to the environment there? What will happen to the 500,000 people who are already ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are here not to discuss personalities of people, whether they are criminals or not. Mr. Kirui has been taken to court but he has not yet been convicted as a criminal. By the way, I support the Motion but you do not do that. These people have families, wives and children we have to respect! view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion. Mine is very short and clear. These people were not brought here because of their ethnic groups or where they come from. Mr. Willy Mutunga, Ms. Baraza and Tobiko have been interviewed and vetted. They are the best of the best in Kenya. We should all appreciate that and support the three nominees. So, mine is very short and I support the Motion. They are the best of the best in this country. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion. In supporting the Motion, I want us to look at the levels of communication in our mother tongue. I support the Motion by looking at Government institutions and institutions of learning. If you look at the Motion and relate it to the new Constitution, you will see that if Articles 53 and 55 are implemented properly, then some of the problems we have on tribal issues will end. Education is compulsory for everyone. Our schools teach English and Kiswahili. Our children are taught to speak in English and Kiswahili, ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could you, please, ask them to consult quietly? They are distracting me! view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I go back to the offices, again, if an officer is transferred to an office, where there is, maybe, a Kamba, Kikuyu or any other Director, they feel uncomfortable if that person does not come from their tribe. If they find people of other tribes there, they start, maybe, keeping to themselves. In the Government offices, if we can mix the tribes, some of those problems will end. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Apart from the law, it is also from a management point of view. How are we managing our staff? The bottom line is that we should be able to mix them. We should not just have one tribe working in one office. To finish on that, I find it a bit rude when I go to your office, you do not know where I come and you start talking to me in your mother tongue. That is very rude. As Kenyans, we know the languages that we should use in this country - Kiswahili and English. We should practice those ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion on the line that we allow Kiswahili and English in Government offices and learning institutions. In constituencies, sub-locations and locations, it would be a bit difficult because not all our people are learned. But as we go along and after we have implemented the new Constitution, some of these problems will come to an end. So, if we love our country, I think we should unite with one language. We are not telling anyone to throw away their language. I am a Mkamba woman and I am very proud of being ... view
