• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Indeed, I had strongly protested. As advised by my leader, let me proceed with supporting the amendment. That is okay. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I strongly support this amendment. Indeed, as it is, it was dangerous. The Director-General is responsible for the management of these statistics. He is responsible for the collection of data. He is the person in charge of all the activities, including administration of funds. In the event any mistake is committed in the process of collecting data, it is the Director-General who has made the mistake. That way, he should not be the one to cancel ... view
• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I join my colleagues in supporting the Statistics (Amendment) Bill. Contrary to what was happening in the past, we have now gone paperless. The census will be conducted using tablets. That way, we will have verified figures coming from the grassroots levels. Once the census has been conducted, it will not be fair to allow any party, regardless of their position, to interfere with the already collected figures from the ground. Indeed, this is the right time we are deliberating this issue because in the next one month, we will be in our constituencies to be counted ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill, which I think is long overdue. No single entity on its own can provide interventions to drought victims, be it the Government or other non-state actors. Indeed, the National Drought Management Authority is well placed to carry out the necessary resource mobilisation to save lives and livelihoods of the pastoral population. view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: As we speak, drought is biting very hard. As mentioned by a Member, more than 14 counties are facing very severe drought. Indeed, in my constituency, livestock has started trekking for long distances and livestock mortality has already started. As we speak today, the neighbouring constituency and mine are holding a sub-county security committee meeting because of conflicts over resources. Indeed, if this Bill was put in place earlier, no doubt NDMA would have started the necessary resource mobilisation. As we speak now, I know they are already handling coordination at county level through a group called the “county steering ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: dropout rates in schools will start. So, there is need for all ministries to come together at county level under the NDMA, so that a timely intervention can be provided to ensure that lives are not lost. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support. view

• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I also rise to support the amendment. There are TVETs that were started a long time ago to which the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) contributed Kshs10 million. However, the manner in which the Ministry is supervising and monitoring TVETs is quite wanting. We want them to go a notch higher and ensure that proper implementation of TVETs is done. I strongly believe that funds have been allocated to stalled projects. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research should move fast and ensure that those projects are completed. view
