• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Even as I make my contribution on the State Department for Gender, you might need to guide the House in terms of procedure because the amendment has been rejected for the above Vote, but the main Vote has been accepted. If we had rejected the main Vote, we would have dissolved that department. That needs to be clarified. In terms of gender… view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as a Member of the BAC, it is better we provide some information to the Members. What has just happened to the above Vote is that the amendment has been rejected. If they had rejected the second, they would have deleted that Department. So, the second approval is in order because it means whatever money was there remains, but this amendment has been rejected. That is basically the issue.

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Let me say something about gender. Gender issues are becoming very important in this country. I support the allocation to this department. When you look at the population figures in this country, it is obvious that we have more women than men. Generally, while gender does not mean sex, women have been disadvantaged over time. Anytime we push for more money to this department, we provide opportunity for our women and daughters to move to the next level. I plead with the Members to support this allocation to this department. By doing so, we will be promoting this country. With ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to support allocation to this Ministry. As I do that, when we were listening to the Budget, we realised that there is something called Ushanga Initiative which seems to be the new kid on the block. This being a very good initiative, I wish the Chairman were here to provide more information to Members. I appeal that as it is implemented, fair consideration is made to all parts of the country to benefit from it. Members can consult the Chair of the Committee to get more details. What Hon. Wanyonyi was ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Let Hon. Lemein explain to us the Ushanga Initiative which is of interest to us. I appeal to him to make sure that the Department …. view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have a lot of respect for my Chairman because I am a Member of that Committee. But I get very worried when I hear the Chair of the BAC, knowing very well that the Constitution and the Standing Orders of this House give this House the mandate to make budgets, change budgets and do whatever they want to do with the Budget saying that we have allocated money and it is an exercise in futility. I get very worried, as a Member of the BAC. So, I would want my Chair to allow ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Even as I support allocation of resources to this department or the Judiciary, on the issue of the courts, we need to supplement that with mobile courts. Let the Judiciary also think about use of mobile courts so that where there are no courts, we can move there and people have access to justice. Thank you. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Even as I support allocation of money to this department, you will realise that Kshs2.9 billion is a lot of money. I got concerned when, during lunch hour, as I was watching news I saw the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) confirming to Kenyans that this department is falling short of expectations in terms of investigations. As we move forward, even as we approve these resources, it is important that this department does their work properly otherwise, they are going to be a very likely candidate for dissolution by this House. Thank you. view
