• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support this Bill. I want to be brief in the interest of time and many colleagues also want to contribute. Ranking leads to competition. We know that any competition enables one to make a lot of efforts to achieve or strive to attain a target. It is a motivating factor and it is a source of accountability for the individual student and the teachers as they work. We give them resources from the national Government through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) and the ... view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that breastfeeding in society is a nurturing activity as well as a basic human need; noting that breast milk contains essential nutrients and contains growth factors that enhance maturation of infants’ organ systems; further aware that women require safe conditions to encourage, protect and support the practice of breastfeeding; cognisant of the fact that an environment where basic, physical, emotional and psychological needs of mothers and infants are fulfilled through the practice of comfortably breastfeeding will enable them realise their full potential; concerned that public places such as schools, transportation terminals and shopping malls do not have secluded ... view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Motion that we decentralise registration and issuance of identity cards to the counties and sub-counties. In most of our counties, especially in rural areas, we have many problems with registration and issuance of identity cards. It is a common phenomenon to find mothers of four or five children, at the age of over 30 years, who do not have identity cards. It is also normal to find youths in universities who do not have identity cards. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The biggest problem we have, apart from decentralisation to these levels is that the Department of Registration of Persons does not get any funding. They do not have motor vehicles. So, even the forms that are collected from the sub-counties are brought to Nairobi in buses. That is very risky and most of the times the forms get lost. It takes months or years for people to receive back their forms because most of the time they get lost. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: At times there are technical problems with fingerprints and taking them back to the constituency or sub-county takes ages. It is important for us to have decentralised services. After all, there is always a backlog in Nairobi. What happens here is only the processing. The vetting and verification is done at the sub-county level. That is where security committees are located. It is prudent for us to make sure that this service is decentralised. It is a basic right and it is a right of every Kenyan to get an ID. It is only after you get an ID that ... view
