• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the Chair of the CDF Committee for donating a minute to me. I would also like to thank the Committee for a job well done. The CDF is the only fund whose impact is felt in constituencies across the country. It is properly structured and has proper monitoring systems. It is a good move that the Bill allows the chairs of the committees to be in charge of the fund managers, and check on wastage in the CDF. The CDF is felt deeply in the villages because it works. I would ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, let me thank Hon. Nyokabi for bringing up this Bill. After a long struggle as she put it when moving the Motion that this Bill has been trying to get to the Floor of this House through former Members of this august House and it has been an uphill task. At last, it is here with us. I congratulate her for having made that effort. It is up to us Members of this 11th Parliament to join hands and see that ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: At the outset, lack of disseminated information and not being open in what we, as a country or government departments are doing, is what is leading to the escalating corruption in this country. If something is done under secrecy, whatever damage is done there, nobody will ever know. If it is known, it can be quantified or arrested early. If somebody has got an ailment and has not disclosed it to a doctor, that ailment will keep on destroying that body until it will be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: too late. That body will be destroyed or somebody might die. If it is discovered early through information, it can be solved. Presently, you can see what is happening with our ministries. Every day, our courts are parading Government officers left, right and center including officers of this august House who are working for the Parliamentary Service Commission. The other day, they were in court and have been doing those things under the noses of everybody. But because everything has been surrounded by secrecy, nobody could tell what was happening until when it burst is when we get to hear ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: We have the Kenya Gazette, an important Government document where important matters are advertised or published. If you ask Kenyans what is a Kenyan Gazette and how it looks like, I do not think 1 per cent might be aware. Our learned lawyers in the Judiciary might know because that is where you will get them. This is where matters like succession issues are put. That is where, for example, somebody wants to defraud other siblings of their property. They go and publish something in the Kenya Gazette where you secretly collude with the people who publish that document. It ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) has issues. The Chair of the CDF Committee is here. We also have the secretariat. They always ask us to give them proposals. After giving them proposals, it is said that we will get Kshs100 million. The information has been put in black and white and published by the print media. In the following day, the people know that their constituencies got some money. They do not know that Hon. Lessonet will sit on that money for nine months. People in our constituencies do not know them - they know us. The CDF Committee does ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill. From the outset, I thank the Committee for what they have brought to the Floor of this House. We need to support the Bill because education is the backbone of any developing country or community. In Kenya, education has not been taken seriously as it should. We are losing a lot of manpower especially by neglecting bright and needy students to the extent that they drop out of school because of the structures and the systems which we have in our education sector. ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: We are losing many bright children in the villages because of lack of counselling, school fees and follow-up. Parents should be liable for the failure to see that their children are in school. I support that clause in totality. There are parents who wish their children are not admitted to public schools, so that they are not burdened by the demands and requirements which go with education. Parents should be cautioned so that they understand that if they do not provide for their children, the law will take effect. Once they hear they are going to be fined Kshs500,000 or ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the establishment of boards at the sub-county and county level. They will be responsible for keeping a database of all the bright children in that particular county. It is becoming a norm that children from rich families are the ones who continue with education despite them being bright or not. However, most bright students from poor families end up not finishing their education. That is why the transition rate in most of our schools especially in the rural areas is very high. A Standard One class starts with 100 children and ends up with about ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: they dropped out of school. On top of that, it should be found out whether they were bright students who could have been assisted to become part of the workforce in this country. view
