  • 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to speak to this historic moment of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I rise to support. I also want to commend all those Members who have risen in support of this Amendment Bill as proposed by the popular initiative.

  • 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: example of Ruiru, Kasarani and Mwea constituencies. They are large and yet they get the same NG-CDF money as the constituencies with fewer people.

The proposed amendment to Article 203 also seeks to increase the percentage ... view
  • 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to continue without interruption because my minutes are lapsing. When we talk of the national Government disbursing 35 per cent instead of 15 per cent, we are only taking money to where Wanjiku is. When this money is taken to the counties, it will increase development activities and improve service delivery, especially with regard to the devolved functions, like agriculture, which touches on the lives of our people. Out of the 35 per cent, there is the five per cent for the Ward Development Fund. Each ward will get Kshs20 million. This adds to the ... view

  • 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Members for supporting this Motion and for coming up with recommendations that are meant to make issuance of those documents simpler. There are so many ideas that have been raised on how we can improve on this so that our people in our constituencies access those services. Among those ideas, it compels me to move with speed to introduce an amendment to the Civil Registration Act to make this more effective. This will make our guardians and parents to stop making trips, back and forth, looking for relevant documents. In ... view

  • 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that the Constitution and the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011 provide that every citizen is entitled to any document of registration or identification issued by the State to citizens including a birth certificate; further aware that Article 53(2) of the Constitution of Kenya provides that a child’s best interests are of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child; cognizant of the fact that issuance of birth certificates during civil registration associated with children is a challenge across the country due to among other issues, ... view
  • 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: information required for issuance of birth certificates to all children and puts in place administrative mechanisms to ensure that every child is automatically issued with a birth certificate before he attains the age of three years.

It is the ministry’s policy that all children in schools, both secondary and primary, should be registered using birth certificates. view
  • 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Civil registration is an act of registering births and deaths in a country to capture data of population trends. This assists the Government in planning to render services to its people. Therefore, the registration centres are where people go to register for birth certificates. So, birth registration is registering a child’s birth. This is the first right that any child gets after birth. view
  • 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Birth registration not only guarantees a child’s right to a name and nationality, but it also fulfils a wide range of other rights and requirements like access to other identification documents such as the National Identity (ID) Card. The Ministry of Education has made it mandatory for children to be registered in schools using birth certificates so that, that information is captured. That is why we have the NEMIS system in use. view
