• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, to a good extent. Hon. Makau is highly affected by this particular matter on this Bill and I am sure he will articulate all the facts I may have got wrong because he is resident in his constituency. A lot of things he said are true. If we really want this board to come on board, then we should amend this Bill during the Committee of the whole House stage in order to ensure that it takes care of all these things. We have a lot of organisations like the Kenya Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Council (KENTTEC) which deals ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: control and the Kenya Veterinary Vaccines Production Institute (KEVEVAPI) which deals with vaccines. Unless animals are taken care of, they would not be of marketable quality. This is why Hon. Abdinoor Mohammed Ali has come up with this to loop in all these missing areas, so that we can market our livestock products in this country. Our meat is not going anywhere. It is neither bought by our own Defence Forces nor sold internationally to European and Arabian countries. This is because of lack of proper strategies and proper management of finances within. Therefore, when we have a board like ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The reason you see all this heat is because this law is now going to tie up the loose ends. We want our pastoral communities to make profit from their animals. We want to have a proper method of dealing with a situation such as the one facing us now of famine. We know animals are dying in large numbers. We want to see these animals rescued in good time and farmers paid in good time. The insurance should be implemented across board for all the pastoralists, so that if their animals die, they are ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. The appointment of the Chairperson of CRA goes a long way in helping the country realise devolution. Since devolution came into force through the new Constitution, many things have not gone on well, such as the verification of revenues which have been collected in the counties. There are targets and with the current governors, only two from the current reports have met the targets that are set for revenue collection. Therefore, the approval of the Chairperson of CRA is very important. She can set ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there has been debate on basic education and compulsory education. This amendment is meant to synchronize the two so that basic education is compulsory, so that Kenyan children can get basic education from primary school through to secondary school. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support and agree with the deputy chairman. 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. The deletion of “in consultation with the Council of Governors” is quite right in the sense that we must make sure that TSC is independent. If you keep having consultation with CoG then it will waste time. So this is a proper amendment and I support it. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This has been the cause of most of the confusion when it comes to CEC member in charge of education. It has been substituted with the words “relevant stakeholders including the national and county quality assurance bodies”. These are national Government officers. In this case, we are dealing with special schools and the issue of the KICD. I agree with the Vice-Chair so that we do not end up with a situation where different bodies develop curricular for different counties. In this particular regard, this is the institution which should do curriculum development in ... view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not think there is any contradiction. It is quite clear and even the fines imposed are quite punitive. There is no law without exceptions. What we have done is to create an exception which is necessary and this is well checked. So, I do not think there is anything wrong. I support the Vice-Chairman and we should pass it as it is. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The new amendment fits the bill. We have just managed to clean it up. It is now much better for Kenyans. There is no ambiguity or loopholes, say, where managers of schools could take advantage and levy unnecessary fees. It is clear it is an offence. It now conforms to the Constitution. I support. view
