He has worked tirelessly to ensure that this Report is brought before this House. Before we give recommendations on the adoption of this Report, let me give you a background of the tourism sector, especially with regard to Utalii College which I have known since my childhood days.

• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I support 100 per cent the issue of legislation on elections, as mentioned by Hon. Cheptumo.

• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I was interrupted, I was discussing social-economic challenges caused by poverty, diseases, HIV and AIDS, violence, sexual abuse, neglect, trafficking, child labour and harmful cultural and religious practices such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). As I discuss this, let me mention that a young girl was killed in my constituency last night after being raped. So, this Sessional Paper is very important for us. The main objective of the policy is to provide for a specific framework for addressing issues related to children’s rights and welfare and provide a regulatory framework to coordinate various legislations ... view
