• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Give me one more minute. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to urge the House that we need to ensure that we accommodate the 47 women from the counties to participate in the distribution of that Fund. I do not think it is enough to call them champions of that Fund. I also do not think it is enough to just tell them to bring two members appointed by them to this Committee. We need to engage them in a more serious way, so that they can have something to do back in the counties where they were elected. If we do that, ... view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: representation of women in this House, but also real output by Members elected from the counties. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, allow me to kindly ask you to give the women Members of Parliament a chance to consult closely at the back there because there is a risk of us losing the gains we have made if we continue to argue on this Floor. I strongly feel there is need to consult and agree on a way forward as women. Allow me to say this. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Please allow me and hear me out. It is very important that we lock in the gains for the women County Members of Parliament in these regulations but it is also very risky when we do not seem to be agreeing on how to go about it. So, I would prefer that we are allowed to consult briefly, agree on a clear way forward and have a common position because I am afraid that at this rate we will end up losing all the gains. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I rise on a very critical concern. We are creating a committee for youth and women. I am shocked. I think I was in my own world that even there is a consideration to put old men in those committees. In my view, those committees must purely be constituted by the youth and women. I see no reason why we are even contemplating a situation where we bring a man above 35 years in that committee. This is not right. It is not right! view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. The hon. Member is misleading this House. When he talks about threshold, is he saying that there are commissions which are more important than others and more important to the point that they cannot even come before a parliamentary committee? Is that what the hon. Member is telling us here today? Stop misleading this House. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to request for a Statement. My request had been approved by you and I had been told that I would be given a chance to raise it this afternoon. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank Hon. Speaker Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No 44(2)(c) I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology, regarding the numerous Form Four leavers in the country who have been denied their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education due to outstanding school fees. As a result, these students are unable to get admissions into institutions of higher learning, tertiary institutions or being recruited into the disciplined forces and many other job opportunities. The Government has on several occasions ordered the heads of schools to release these certificates stating that failure to ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Speaker, I have heard the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology but I want to say that circulars have been issued very many times before. I remember at one point it was actually the former President, hon. Kibaki, who actually issued that circular. It was not honoured and I believe they are going to take us through the same circle of excuses. I would like this matter handled more seriously by the Committee to the point of ensuring that if there is no policy they ensure that a policy is put in place. ... view
