• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: woman. The prime minister’s position should be reserved for a person with disability. The first post of deputy prime minister should be reserved for the youth and the second position of deputy prime minister should be reserved for the marginalised communities. Members are aware who is qualified to be the prime minister and who is not qualified because that position will be reserved for a person with disability. Thank you, I support the Bill. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Members for their overwhelming support of this Bill. I want to assure the Members that I took note of their concerns. During the Committee of the whole House stage, I will enrich the Bill with your concerns. I beg to reply. I would like to start with Hon. Sankok’s concerns. Actually, I support the fact that the youth should be given a position of the deputy prime minister. However, I cannot be drawn to his discussion that reserving a position of deputy prime minister for PWDs is something the BBI ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: respect that the NYC should be given the mandate to grant accreditation to youth organisations, so that we can monitor what is happening in the youth space. This shall ensure that organisations violating or exposing our youth to harmful practices are put in check, as well as workers not operating as per Article 55 of the Constitution. The NYC should also provide non-executive membership in the Council for the youth-serving organisations, so that they can provide mentorship and other assistance to the youth. There is also the mandate of the Youth Advisory Board, which conflicts with the role of the ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Principles and Guidelines for governance of organisations. The large number of members of the board should be reduced - that is where politics begin - from the previous board membership of 24 to a sizeable number as prescribed by the Mwongozo Guidelines. The House strongly recommended that election of members of the Council should be done as soon as possible. We all know the agenda of the youth in universities was reversed. Previously, they were allowed to conduct elections and later, we allowed them to conduct a process that is more of nomination. It is a funny process that I ... view

• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.17 of 2019), that has been brought by Hon. Andrew Mwadime. We appreciate Hon. Andrew Mwadime for bringing to light this issue of national importance. Public Service is not a private institution. It is an opportunity to serve the public. When you talk about the public, we are talking about all regions of this country, ethnic balancing and bringing on board affirmative action groups so that all of them can feel that they are ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Josephta Mukobe, who also represents us at that level of Government management. We are not yet there. We need more. We need representation in Cabinet Secretary and Chief Administrative Secretary positions. We also need full implementation of the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003 and Sessional Paper No.14 which, Hon. Nyikal, when he was the PS in charge of special programmes or labour, tried as much as possible to implement. Many of our achievements as PWDs were courtesy of Hon. Nyikal while he was a PS in the relevant ministry. Let us give credit where it is due. Kenya ratified ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am out of order because I was carried away. With the Motion attached to employment of PWDs and the prospect of having qualified to be the future prime minister, I can get carried away by emotions. I support this Bill 100 per cent. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. Hon. Gladwell said that I had commended you positively. It is the truth. I only stated facts. If somebody is beautiful, she is and we appreciate it. view
