• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Finance Bill. This Bill is long overdue and it is high time this House fast- tracked its implementation so that at least the measures which are already spelt here can be put into place, especially at this hour and time when our country is reeling from the problem of increased prices and drought which has been there for quite a while. We are glad God heard our prayers and we received some rain which is still there. The measures proposed in this Bill, in my opinion, are ... view
• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: country. At the same time, being an agricultural country we have to depend on food produced from our farms and production has been poor. Another issue which has led to food shortage and increased prices is the poor storage of our foodstuffs. Most farmers, once they harvest their produce, either hang it on trees, or store it in poor granaries where rodents and other pests attack the produce or it is affected by diseases like aflatoxin. It is high time the Government invested in big silos which are well designed where farmers can put their produce for better protection. Most ... view
• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: We also need to establish large maize farms because it is the staple food in this country. You find there are no big maize farms yet the population consuming maize is high. We end up importing maize from our neighbour, Tanzania which has a bigger population than us but because they have bigger farms and produce a lot of maize, they have some to spare and sell to us. We need irrigation in those farms. There was a noble proposal by the Government. One of the flagship projects of the current Jubilee Government was to irrigate 1 million acres of ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Let me congratulate my colleague, Hon. Grace Kiptui, for bringing this Bill which touches on the essence of life and the foundation of the human race. We, in a developing country, need to lay strong foundations for our children so that we can, at least, assure ourselves that we will have good future leaders, parents and people who will see this country move forward. Basic education should be made compulsory and patronised by everybody. Those who refuse to take their children to school or ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: In as much as we have the laws, they are haphazardly implemented and sometimes they are not taken seriously. That is why, at the end of the day, we get so many school dropouts especially at the lower levels because of some basic needs which children may require. The girl- child should have sanitary pads, equal opportunities, prevention of communicable diseases and immunisation. Many children are denied these things because some parents are ignorant and others take it lightly. The Government systems and officers, who need to implement them, do not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: take them seriously until you get to the extent where you get some religious cultures or beliefs that do not take children to hospital and decide to pray for them. All these things destroy children’s foundation. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We also have another problem here in Kenya where education has been segmented and the nursery level is left to the counties in terms of infrastructure and employment of teachers. Then we have primary, secondary, tertiary and universities under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. I have a personal experience. If you go to some schools, you find that the nursery school teacher is the head of the classroom or the two nursery school classes and the head teacher of the primary is for Standard One to Standard Eight. These conflicting or clashing interests of operations make learning of ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: County governments have been charged with putting up classrooms for nursery schools while the NG-CDF does the other things. You find that county governments have done very little in putting up classrooms and the most vulnerable nursery school children are in the worst classes in schools. The upper classes pupils are in the best classes. It should be the opposite. The small child is left vulnerable to pneumonia and other dirt-related diseases. Learning becomes very difficult because of the poor infrastructure and the general poor learning conditions. There is also the issue of the teachers who teach these children. The ... view
