25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, the hon. Member for Kiminini, the hon. Chris Wamalwa Wakhungu sought a Statement from the Leader of Majority Party on the Uwezo Fund. He asked three critical questions and the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning responded as follows:- From the outset, His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya, none other than Uhuru Kenyatta, made a pledge of Kshs6 billion originally set aside by the Government for use in the event of an election runoff.

Okay. Hon. Deputy Speaker, from the outset, I want to say that the county women hon. Members represent our wives, sisters, daughters and our mothers. They also represent our counties. They are colleagues in this House, unlike others who are in other Houses. So, they sit with us every day in committees and in the House. So, I think we must accommodate them and we must share with them and we must move together so that they are re-elected to this House, the way we want to be re-elected back to Parliament.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, hon. Chris Wamalwa of course raised the issue of capacity and I think hon. Nyikal said it is a new thing. Let us start it with more training and capacity. On the issue of the 50 to 50 between the county and the constituency, it is about the selection of the committee and what that committee will basically do is select vibrant youth groups and more enterprising women groups. It is not about a committee that will share money.

Hon. Mbadi, yes, this is Kshs6 billion and it is in the 2013/2014 Budget. Appropriation has been done and thank you for your good advice. Hon. Kajwang might be good in court but I know some of us are also good in accounts and we read the Budget. So, money has been appropriated. It is there and it is not in private banks. It is with the National Treasury and I am sure the question of capacity has been done.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, then there was the question by hon. Kimaru and I will urge him that please let us stand with our women Members of Parliament because all of us want to serve the people and I think we do not want our county women Members of Parliament to lose elections. Kenyan politics is more resource based. The county governors have the resources. The Members of Parliament have resource based devolved funds. Let us give our sisters that resource so that they make an impact on the ground.

25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, most of it was more of comments and I think it is a debate for another day. I agree with hon. Jakoyo that I advise the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning to bring a policy document so that we debate it and come up with suggestions on the way forward. Hon. Gladys, was more on the spirit and unity of our House.

Hon. KK, please, I am sure back at home you have daughters and mothers. You have a mother and a sister and you have ladies who campaigned for you; women who stood with you and who brought you to this House. I want you to listen to them and make sure that you stand for their interests.
