• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to support this clause. We have a single education system in Kenya and once we allow the 47 counties to come up with their regulations and policies, then I think we will have chaos in this country. I support that the CS should be at the centre of formulating policies and regulations. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think this is a very important part of this Bill and it gives it value. ECD is the formative years of the child and develops that child into the future. What we had allowed is for everybody to open their schools and run them the way they want.

Clearly, when they say that, that relates to the Children Act, then I will agree with this. This law is purposely meant for early childhood education. They have attempted to say, when you are talking about early childhood, what is the age bracket that you can generally find at that level of education. When we have people older than this entering ECDE or even primary school, then those are ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I agree with you, Hon. Speaker, that this operationalises the Bill of Rights. It gives effect to the important things that, maybe for many years, our society has taken for granted. There is nothing to guide even judges in courts in terms of how to pass sentences. The acts of torture that are degrading, inhumane, cruel or forms of punishment that cannot be humanely done is what this Bill attempts to identify. This country is not alone in this matter.
