• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank the Committee Chairman for responding to the request, although it has taken them nine months to do so. A baby would have been walking by now. Be that as it may, I would like him to clarify a few issues regarding his reference to database. They say that there are some fake allotment letters. After the completion of the verification of allotment letters exercise that started more than six months ago, which will hopefully be completed within the next three months, do we still have to wait for 10 years before we get ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think the Chairman forgot one thing when he was doing the tours. My constituency borders his. We do not want to have clashes there as is happening in Wajir and Mandera. It is the same case between North Imenti and Tharaka and also South Imenti and Tharaka. I think the Chairman has not done a report on the same because he is party to these disputes. I request, through your guidance, that we be given a way out of this, because we want to avoid bloodshed in the Meru/Tharaka region. I believe the Committee could leave the ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate the Mover of this Bill, my sister hon. (Ms.) Wanjiku Muhia. This is a very timely Bill for persons living with disability in this country. What she has proposed in this amendment Bill will go a long away in helping our people living with disabilities get the services they require. They have been forgotten for a very long time. We have buildings, for example Parliament, whose certain areas are not accessible to disabled people in our society. With this Bill, it should be mandatory that every public place is accessible ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, with this Bill we will have more information accessed by disabled people like what has been happening in the mainstream television channels. I think the Kenya Television Network (KTN) should be commended for having started a programme for the disabled. The other channels should be doing the same with the passing of this Bill. view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with regard to buildings, many of them do not have a provision for disabled persons to go upstairs. They do not have lifts and there is need for ramps; it should be a policy. Every new building should have provision for disabled persons to access every part of it. There should even be washrooms for the disabled. Facilities for them should be in every building. They have a problem when they need to go and answer calls of nature, as they cannot go to the washrooms. I think we need to make it mandatory for existing buildings ... view
