• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As we know, public participation is a very critical component. It is a constitutional requirement that before you undertake any serious project, the public has to be involved. In this case, the project was conceptualised by the Ministry and thrown in the way of the NG-CDF Board. The Board passed the same to constituency committees. At that stage, they were told to allocate an amount of money for that function. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We are aware that a number of projects in this country, because of lack of public participation, have been lying idle or incomplete and of no use to members of the public they were initially meant to benefit. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As a Committee, we felt very strongly that it is not proper to misuse public resources where the public is not involved in terms of identifying the project and participating in the execution of the same project through oversight. So, as a Committee, we resolved that it is better we make it optional. In some areas like Limuru where the piloting was done, we resolved that Members that feel they should proceed with it, can proceed because areas differ. This is a project that requires further consultation so that when we start implementing it in the 290 constituencies, it is ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is also important for the NG-CDF Board to consider, as we adopt this Report today, that the money that was allocated for the hubs should go to other needy projects where members of the public have participated and identified the projects. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to second. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by Hon. Faith about the waiver of fees. As I support this Motion, I am looking back at the students who are in school. Most students complete school, but with arrears in terms of school fees. They go to college still with the burden of unpaid fees. In fact, they get admission to colleges by using result slips and not the actual certificates. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The real problem comes when they are through with school and they want to start their own businesses or do something that can enable them get something of their own. At this point, these youth are subjected to a number of things. They get to borrowing. They go to M-Pesa. Like The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: now we are aware there is M-Shwari and stuff like that, where youth and other people, even ourselves, borrow from. Once they borrow, most of them are not able to pay up, especially on time. They get listed with CRBs. At the time they apply for any job, they cannot be cleared. That is not my point. My point is: CRB certificate should be one of the waivers these youth need to be given. On another note, when these want to get HELB clearance certificate it is not possible, because they have virtually worked nowhere for them to be able ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to speak. I also wish to add my voice to the sentiments of the previous speakers who have supported this Bill. In that wake, I support this Bill. I support the Bill because we are doing away with quacks that everybody has talked about here. This country needs better planning and better roads. Using this august House, I believe this is the time this Bill is best suited and can go down to in helping the people of this country. Secondly, I wish, on behalf of the people of Bungoma, to ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this chance. I stand here, first, as the County Woman Representative for Bungoma. I would like, first of all, to send my message of condolence to the bereaved families for losing their loved ones at this point in time. These were innocent people who have just been killed out of unknown thuggery that is ongoing and still a mystery to the people of Bungoma. Two days ago, we lost 11 lives in a place called Masaek in Chepkurkur. Among the lost lives, we had three children who belonged to one woman. The same ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: have been the killer. That not stopping there, again, two weeks ago, we buried two people from a village called Kimwanga where the killings were done at about 11.00 O’clock in the night when one family was attacked. As the other two went to rescue the family, they were slashed and killed. We even visited the scene with the Senator, Hon. Moses Masika Wetang’ula. What came out clearly from the residents is the people who were attacking those people were dressed in police uniform, and when the residents tried to approach them for help, that is when they were slashed ... view
