• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Education:- (a) what specific measures he is taking to ensure that the free primary education programme is benefiting persons with disabilities; and, (b) when Kenya will comply with the 1994 Salamanca Resolution on integrated/inclusive basic education. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that elaborate answer, but when we talk about children and student with disabilities, we can train the teachers and provide the funds. However, there are specific facilities and provision of ramps at schools, special toilets and rooms. But I have not seen any of those facilities put up in schools. Even in our own Parliament, it is only recently when Mr. Leshore and His Excellency the President were involved in the accident that you put up a ramp outside Parliament to allow them to be wheeled in. ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the 1994 All-Inclusive Education Resolutions was that children with disabilities should be provided with facilities within their neighbourhoods; that they go to schools within their neighbourhoods and that they join their peers in regular schools. The resolution was that facilities to aid such children would be provided in regular schools. What is the Government doing to make sure this is implemented? As the Assistant Minister explained, we still have special schools in far distant areas where children have to go. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what they are doing? view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to the regulations of the All- Inclusive Education Resolutions of 1994, children with special needs should be provided with facilities within their neighbourhoods. However, as of now, we only have few schools within their neighbourhoods. What is the Government doing to ensure that children who require special attention go to ordinary regular schools within their neighbourhoods and that special facilities are provided for them in those schools? 4000 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 29, 2006 view
• 28 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on the Supplies Practitioners Management Bill brought before this House by hon. Dr. Ojiambo. I must, first of all, thank hon. Dr. Ojiambo for the work she has tirelessly done to ensure that this Bill gets to this stage so that it can benefit all those involved. The Bill aims at streamlining processes of procurement which is a very critical issue in this country. It aims at ensuring that the practising officers are properly trained and that they are licensed. We should not just get anybody ... view

• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. First of all, I want to join my colleagues in congratulating the hon. Dr. Ojiambo for the work she has done to bring together this very important Bill for enactment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, where I come from, the food that was recommended and people were encouraged to eat was ugali made from millet. Children were fed on porridge also from millet. When some little milk is added in the porridge, it is very nutritious and usually, it ... view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: You are aware that there is a lot that we need to do in terms of providing health services to our people. Nutritionists and dieticians should not only be available at the national level or at the headquarters. We need a system that will ensure that majority of Kenyans access the services of these professionals so that they can also benefit. The people in Mwingi, for instance, should be able to understand better what they should eat. They should not only eat muthokoi. They should be able to balance it with the black ugali prepared from millet flour. All Kenyans ... view
• 23 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, do you know how it is made? It is made from pure millet. Nothing extra is added to it, not even sugar. It is so enjoyable when you take it. It is sweet, satisfying and, in fact, improves your wellbeing. So, when our people take busaa, it is good for their health. They should not be arrested by policemen. I am happy that hon. Michuki is here and I hope that he is getting my points. The busaa that we drink is also healthy because of the manner in which it is prepared. Police officers should ... view
