• 22 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Yes, they are related. First, this is a matter of great concern. This issue of sexual harassment is currently a global concern. Those cases were detailed on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary Panorama . It has become a major concern for the two British corporations involved in this matter. view
• 22 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: In addition to that, Hon. Speaker, in a Statement, I did state that there is lack of sufficient response to Questions and Statements by the various ministries that we have highlighted here. It is a topic of serious worry. Cabinet Secretaries seem to ignore this House. For example, from October, I have asked not less than five Statements and I have not received a single answer to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: them. Some are now outdated. They were urgent then. I had inquired for your guidance on how we could solve this challenge. I notice in the House that many of the Questions or Statements are not answered to the satisfaction of the Members of Parliament yet, there is no possibility to interrogate and engage the Cabinet Secretary directly or in committee sessions. The point is: Why would we ask Questions if the other side is not taking them with the seriousness that is required? Therefore, I am asking for your guidance on that. view

• 14 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank Hon. Machua from Kiambu for bringing this particular Motion to Parliament. First of all, I want to pass my condolences to the family of Grace Onyango, a remarkable trailblazer who had scored so many firsts in her political activities. Having grown up and gone to school in South Nyanza, I am proud of her achievements in Kisumu: first as a Mayor and later as a Member of Parliament. In fact, if you look at her record, you will see that she was a woman of high achievement. ... view
• 7 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Petition by our sister on extra-judicial killings and disappearances. I also want to echo the feelings expressed by other Members of Parliament. I speak as a Member of Parliament whose constituency has been seriously affected by this problem. I have had many cases of disappearances of people in my constituency. I remember Mr. Abdul Karuri and Dr. Waititu who suddenly disappeared from Majengo. I remember the killing of Mr. Bashir Mohamed a businessman who had a strong association with my constituency and many others. To be honest, this ... view
• 7 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: that is not the case. It is widespread. As it has been mentioned here, many communities – not only my own in Eastleigh and Majengo – have suffered by losing people through those disappearances that are carried out by known Government agents. A number of times, I have raised this issue in Parliament, and the Ministry of Interior and National Administration has come to lie to this House saying that they have no idea where those people have gone to, and they do not know who has taken them. The questions I ask every time is: Is it not your ... view
• 23 Feb 2023 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika kwa kunipatia fursa hii. Nachukua nafasi hii kusema kwamba leo ni siku ya furaha na shangwe kwa sababu naona akina mama wetu wamekuwa na mwamko. Wamejitokeza leo kuzatiti na kushikilia kwa nguvu utamaduni wetu wa Kiafrika. Unajua taifa lolote lisilo na utamaduni sio taifa huru. Tumekua na kasumba ya kikoloni ambapo tumeambiwa kuwa mavazi ya kizungu, ndio bora na yenye ustaarabu. Lakini sio hivyo kwa maana Bara la Afrika limekuwa na ustaarabu wa kudumu na wa muda mrefu kwa karne nyingi sana. Ninaona kuwa Bunge hili na akina mama wameonyesha mfano mzuri. Hili ni jambo ... view
• 23 Feb 2023 in National Assembly: Hizi mipaka ziliwekwa na wakoloni miaka michache iliyopita. Kuna watu wanaishi hapa Kenya ambao walizaliwa kabla ukoloni hujafika katika sehemu nyingi za Kenya. Kwa hivyo, sisi ni Waafrika Mashariki na wenzetu wote wa eneo hili pia wanabadili. Ukienda Tanzania, utaona mavazi ya kupendeza ya akina mama na wanaume. Kwa hivyo, ninawatakia kila la heri. Muendelee vivyo hivyo. Mvae haya mavazi mazuri na mtandaze utamaduni na ustaarabu huo kote Kenya. Zaidi pia, tujikomboe kiakili na tuwe na nchi inayoheshimika. Asante sana, Mhe Naibu wa Spika. view
