• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In replying, I want to say that the IPU in its nature is the parliament of parliaments of the world. Just like the Seconder said, it is important that whenever Kenya sends delegations to such fora, then it must send very strong delegations. I am happy that the delegation I led managed to get one of our own to get elected as the vice- president of the women caucus. I am very proud of Hon. Kihika for achieving that position of the world. The issue of the vote on the matter of Jerusalem has been touched by many of the ... view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The matter of refuges has been touched by Members who spoke. It was a major agenda of this IPU Conference. We appreciate that we have refugee issues in this country. It is important also, just as it was discussed in the IPU Assembly, to begin looking at the rights of refugees in a more detailed manner considering their human rights.

Recommendation 22 says: “The EACC should investigate the immediate former KFS Board chairperson for possible conflict of interest and abuse of office contrary to Section 101 of the Penal Code and Public Officer Ethics Act, 2003, and if found culpable should be barred from holding any public office.” This is where my problem is: First of all, Mr. Kinyua is not immediate former ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: then would it be a crime? And the appointing authority, His Excellency the President, has once again, with confidence and having known that that business was there… It was there before the appointment. Why would the committee want to condemn this gentleman? I wanted to persuade Members that it would be really unfair for us inasmuch as I appreciate our job, to condemn this gentleman yet he had declared that interest at the outset. He said the same when he appeared before the committee. So I wanted to persuade Members that we delete Recommendation 22. I thank you, Hon. Temporary ... view
