• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to speak as a former Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Tourism. I would like to strongly support this particular amendment and just say that it is one thing to challenge the number of tourists who come to kenya and another thing to increase the numbers. Our biggest competitors in Africa are South Africa and Botswana who spend almost 10 times our budgets in promotion and marketing activities out there. Therefore, as much as we think this is a lot of money, this is a drop in the ocean if we really want to ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to support this particular Vote. For a long time, we have been treating gender issues as issues of the lips. We now want to see action in terms of real money being put in that department. On matters of gender, Kshs4 billion is just a drop in the ocean. Matters gender affect both men and women. There is a real issue, and I am sure the Secretary General of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) will agree with me that the boy-child is endangered. I know that the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender is going ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I must appreciate the fact that we see the need to continue increasing the amount of money that is going to women in the 47 counties. Out of experience, I want to say that a county is not a small affair. A county is a heavy burden on the women Members from the counties. I want to urge that this becomes the first step towards the right direction, so that going forward, in the next coming budget, we can enhance this amount of money to even better amount. Not just Kshs300 million, we need ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I hear what Hon. Wamalwa is saying but I want to challenge the men in this House. The silence of Hon. Members from the male gender in this House is what causes the problem we have with the boy-child. The reason why the girl-child is empowered and will continue to be that way is because women make enough noise. You are quiet and you never mention it. It is true. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am not afraid to repeat that. We want to see more activism for the boy- child from Hon. Wamalwa, so that people can remember that there is a boy-child who needs to be empowered. As long as you remain silent and behave as if mlifika, you are in trouble. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to seek your indulgence in view of the fact that we expected this thing to move till closure of business. We would, therefore, like to postpone this matter until the next allotted day. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not rising to move. I am actually calling that we withdraw this Bill until another date. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, we would want to defer this item until another allotted day. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to also contribute to this important Motion that seeks to pass the Budget for the Financial Year 2018/2019. May I begin by first congratulating the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the entire membership of that Committee for a job well done. I also want to go further and thank the Departmental Committees also for a great job that they have done over the past several weeks while we were on recess. I must say that having sat here and listened to every Chair of committee as ... view
