• 26 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: right across to Uganda and the first stop was on the Ugandan side not even on the Kenyan side. That is on Isebania. This is not to pre-empt what is going to come from the Report because this is clearly stated in our Report from Isebania. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak. I rise to support the Report. I also appreciate the Committee for a job-well-done. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: As my colleagues have said this afternoon, the impact of this Fund is one of the most visible in almost all the constituencies in Kenya. The development that you see when you walk around has been funded by the NG-CDF. You keep on wondering what the other funds are doing. When it comes to education, I look at all primary schools in my constituency and regrettably, I see nothing in terms of Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE), which has since been devolved. No classrooms have been funded by county governments. In the long run, we may have to reconsider ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: On the challenges that have been raised in the Report on the Kisumu County constituencies, I believe they are similar across the board, including my constituency. The issue of oversight, as has been mentioned, is critical. We need to look at it.

I believe that the 35 per cent allocation of the national budget should be increased to 40 per cent because the number of needy students has been increasingly going up, particularly now that there is fairness in the sharing of these funds. Everybody wants to get a share of the money. The money goes directly to schools in the form of cheques that are accompanied by lists of the beneficiaries. Can you even tell who is given the money from the other funds? ... view

• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education: - a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that students who were admitted by Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) to TVET, TTI and national polytechnics for the August 2018 intake in the country received letters of admission but no capitation was released to the colleges to date? b) Is the Cabinet Secretary further aware that most of these students have been sent home by the said institutions or have not reported due to lack of school fees? c) What measures ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand today to add my voice in support of the Bill. There has been word going around the country of late with a lot of half-truths and I am happy that as of yesterday, a lot of this had been clarified. First and foremost, let me say that this issue of the two-thirds gender rule is not about women. It is about inclusivity, fairness, equity and also leaving no one behind. The people of Kenya spoke many years back and they said that they needed to have at least not more ... view
