• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate and commend Hon. Sabina Chege for bringing this progressive Bill. We know very well that breastfeeding, especially in the early years of any child, plays a big role in the health of a child. The first five years in the life of a child are very important, especially in terms of growth and development. If a child is not properly cared for during that time, his or her future life is bound to be affected. It is the young people we are waiting upon as future leaders. Breastfeeding prevents ... view

• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: unfortunate. This Bill should make sure that all institutions, whether public or private, have suitable places where a mother will comfortably breastfeed her child and change the soiled nappies of the child. This is to ensure that the mother is able to productively contribute to wherever she is working, whether at Parliament or in a public or private institution. She will be productive and work well. However, when you call a mother to duty barely three months after giving birth to a child, she cannot even concentrate. Her mind is not there. So, I urge Members that we should move ... view

• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: We have had mothers working in airports and cannot breastfeed their children. It is very unfortunate. The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, which is an international airport serving hundreds of countries and citizens from all parts of the world, does not have places where women can breastfeed their children. This is unfortunate. I support the Bill in the strongest terms possible and request that we fast-track it, knowing our timelines. view

• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for giving me this opportunity. I do not know whether that is in order, but I think we will not at this juncture ask that particular clause to be deleted, if it is at the mediation stage. I thought when it comes to prescription for the clinical officers, that is part of the training and it is well stipulated. It should go to the regulations. That is my take. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in terms of inspection and quality control, I think this amendment by Hon. Ichung’wah is in order. I support. view
• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: For the benefit of the doubt, I request the Chairman to expound and make it clear to us what the implications are if we remove the words “Development and Marketing.” view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support this Bill by Hon. Grace Kiptui, which proposes support for the girl-child education. This Bill proposes measures and means to ensure that girls do not drop out of school. It also provides for sanitary towels for girls in school. Most of the time, the performance of girls is affected by their being absent from school as a result of menses. They are unable to attend school regularly. They become shy during this time of the month because they cannot afford sanitary towels. This is a noble initiative. ... view
