• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important matter. There have been many cases in the country where heroes have lost their lives for others. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: In the case of Mr. Kipchoge, I was one time at the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage as the Secretary. So, I know that the people who win these medals or races bring a lot of fame to our country. Mr. Kipchoge’s marathon record will boost our tourism. This is a person’s single effort which will make Kenya earn a lot of money. The tax exemptions will serve to honour such a hero other than other honours that the country will give him or other persons. Sports bring unity. All Kenyans watched as this gentleman won. We were all ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On the matter of Likoni Channel, I went to support Hon. Mishi Mboko. The lady and the child who perished come from Makueni. She was married in Makueni although she comes from Taita Taveta. I went there and worked with Hon. Mishi Mboko, and we were briefed. The recovery exercise was very well-coordinated by the Kenya Navy. They had one centre. We met the Chairman of the Kenya Ferry Services, Hon. Mwanzo. You could almost pick that they were almost giving up but Mr. John Wambua remained very hopeful that somebody would help even when the person from Sweden did ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We learnt that people who dive into the sea to save others volunteer. In fact, there is no honorarium for them. The dangers they face are so glaring. While trying to retrieve bodies, divers can easily lose their live. They make a major sacrifice. When the equipment was brought, locals were very key. The experts came with the equipment and did the spotting, but the locals did the job as it was said in this House when we made reference to this matter. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Besides making reference to this particular incident and many others, we remember the case of Dusit D2 Hotel, where we had some heroes although lives were lost and others lost their lives in the line of duty. We must come up with a method of honouring the true heroes of this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: country – people who die for others and the nation. These are people who make sacrifices for others to an extent of risking their lives. That is where the rubber meets the road, and this is where we need to honour the heroes. We should have heroes centres or a museum where their stories can be written. They should be documented so that our children can learn about the heroes we have in the country. Many Kipchoges will be born and those who will live 100 years from today can read those stories and have films to watch. I believe ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In Makueni Constituency, I have just gone through a difficult time with compensation of people affected by the Thwake Dam. I agree with Hon. Wandayi that we have a gap within the law. The Constitution is clear and we have several other laws which apply. The National Treasury makes a request to the NLC. Between the ministry and the NLC, there are a lot of challenges. At times, once the people have been compensated, the ministry issues guidelines as to how they should move. I believe that is not in any of the regulations or part ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Early childhood education is very important. It is the basis of a child’s education. This is where you encourage a child to pursue education, which is the equaliser of both the rich and the poor. When you have a strong base, it projects a child to greater heights whenever education is needed. Currently, county governments have been handling the matter. They have hired ECD teachers and there has been a lot of disorder in the counties. In a lot of situations, many ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: What I am trying to say is that when county governments do the infrastructure, they spend about Kshs2 million per classroom, but when the NG-CDF does that sort of infrastructure, they spend exactly half of that amount and you have a better classroom for the children. The point I am trying to drive home is that we need to harmonise education generally. Although there has been an administrative action of taking these functions to county governments and making them shared, education should be fully managed by the national Government, from early childhood education. Their teachers should be recruited by the ... view
