• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. I do not need that information. Lastly, I want to mention something about pension. The Pensions Department is not doing its job very well. Many people retire and go home and because they were used to receiving some money, they die even before they receive their pension. So, this is wrong. Remember the retired teachers who since 1997 have been claiming their pension. The court has ruled and nothing has been done. So, I want to say if all these are done, then I am opposed to them. If it is a home where you take the aged ... view

• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I also want to support this new schedule as given by the Leader of the Majority Party, noting that this is an improvement from what was there in the previous schedule where it was a total of Kshs198 billion. Knowing very well that our counties are still very young, much of this will go into setting up structures, employment and all that. I just want to add that this amount, in the spirit of devolution should be increasing yearly. I stand to support and say that in the spirit of devolution this amount should be increasing ... view
• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: (Hon. (Ms). Ngetich): Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am hon. Cecilia Ngetich, Member of Parliament for Bomet County. Allow me to join my colleagues in congratulating you and the Deputy Speaker for having been elected to office, and also congratulate all the hon. Members for making it to the Eleventh Parliament. I also wish to take this opportunity to thank the people of Bomet County for overwhelmingly voting for me. This morning, I heard an hon.

• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: To comment on the Presidential Address, I want to say that personally I am impressed. I am happy about the Address. It is very holistic in the manner it has tackled issues that affect this nation. First and foremost is the issue of education; he talked of empowerment and education is the greatest empowerment that we can talk about. So the issue as to whether we need laptops or facilities in schools to improve the learning standards, we must have the education enhanced. The laptop issue is quite welcome. Most of the schools in the rural areas have never known ... view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, on the issue of security, we know very well that for us to live in harmony and peace, we must have security. I come from Bungoma County and I want to applaud the Presidential Address on security and peaceful existence. This must go hand in hand with issues on the ground. In Bungoma County the level of insecurity is high; people are murdered left, right and centre, homes are attacked; there is a lot of insecurity. One key thing that I have observed in Bungoma County is that the security forces in place are inadequate. They do not have ... view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: I was happy about the industrialization of this country. Where I come from in Bungoma County, we have Chwele, which is the third largest food market in Africa. As the third largest food market in Africa it is just prudent and wise that we develop and industrialize the county so that, indeed, it augments food security efforts in our country. So, industrialization in that particular part of the country is key. Bungoma County also has Mt. Elgon and other large constituencies. Mt. Elgon is key in tourism development and also in food security. This is because most of the food ... view
