Gloria Magoma Orwoba

Sen. Orwoba I was going to make it precise, but on this issue, it is because Cabinet Secretaries keep come here, but it has not been addressed. I do not even need an answer. I needed the Cabinet Secretary to take note on this and even leave with me here...

Sen. Orwoba

Sen. Orwoba Sen. Oketch Gicheru, if I can guide you. That is a substantive Question and does not sound strong enough to come in as a supplementary to original Question that the Cabinet Secretary was asked. I guide that you pose it as a substantive question through the secretariat. The...

Sen. Orwoba I do not recall having said “minute”. However, let me say this for clarity. I have the privilege of having gone to St. George’s Secondary School. So, my English is very good. I said we should not limit our arguments to simplistic thoughts, simplifying very complex matters. It...

Sen. Orwoba Let me conclude on what I want to say. This Government was voted in by a majority of Kenyans because of the fact that we support equity. Our policies and all things that are in the Kenya Kwanza plan are based on equity. We actually won the election...

Sen. Orwoba Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you protected me from all these points of order, my thoughts would not have been lost. This issue of kazi ni kazi is a basis of the policies of Kenya Kwanza. I am magnifying that whether you are an intern, a doctor, a...

Sen. Orwoba Who knows? Pregnancy is a very interesting act of nature and sometimes we might not know when we are pregnant because it is in God's control. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we are pushing this Bill, I was wondering who is going to play oversight. Allow me a few...

Sen. Orwoba Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to a very important Bill. A Bill that is going to touch on the lives of women; that has never been legislated on. We have never really legislated on any matters that touch on...
