• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I respect the Member for Karachuonyo very much. He is one of the active Members. In terms of relevance, he is talking about the NG-CDF yet we are talking about the NCA in reference to access to Government procurement opportunities by the youth, women and persons living with disabilities. I raise my point of order in terms of relevance. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to interrogate this very important Bill. Children are our future. There is no country without children. This Bill has attracted a lot of interest. I do not know where the interest it attracts emanates from. This Bill was moved in the House before a report of the Committee was tabled. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and even before we finished public participation, the Report was already tabled in the House. It was the first time the Leader of the Majority Party came ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: old? We have gone to children homes, especially private ones and we know that the highest number of abandoned children in any country are children with disabilities. It is children who are HIV positive. Go to private children homes and you will find no child with disability. Why? Because they are not sellable and they fetch no money. They are not good breeds for sale. You will not find children with HIV/AIDS yet we know they are the ones who are abandoned. What is the purpose of children homes? They are supposed to assist the most vulnerable children. I think ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Otiende Amollo did not listen to me carefully. I said that before we tabled our report as a Committee, the Bill was moved. Normally, a report is tabled first and then the Bill is moved after Members have gone through the report. Again, I said that the… view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was only trying to build a point. Why all this interest and haste? People are raising points of order because of conflict of interest. I have painfully heard that Hon. Otiende Amollo seconded the Bill. We support this Bill. What I am saying is that, as a House, we should make sure that there is nothing like international adoption. The Child Welfare Society of Kenya, against what Hon. Milly Odhiambo has said, is an important stakeholder. As a Committee, we visited the Child Welfare Society, and the Mama Ngina Children’s Home. That is ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: make sure that as we support this Bill… For us, we have ruled out the issue of foreign adoption forever as other countries like Rwanda. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We were dealing with the issue of the MP, Dawood whose delegation box was not working. That 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
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: could not be your mistake because there was no way you could know that it was not working. I wish he was here. Normally I call him MMN. I will tell you the meaning when we are alone. I rise to support this important Bill. It has come at the right time. Cancer is a disease that not only eat our flesh, blood and bones but also, our resources at a rate that we can only equate with the appetite of broiler chicken. I would like to congratulate Hon. Mwambu Mabonga from Bumula for bringing this important Bill to this ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are countries like Rwanda that have done away with private children homes. We should make sure that all our abandoned children are reintegrated into families so that we do not lose our culture. We need enough human resource. As I said, we have enough parents here to adopt our own children. Let us not allow our children to be trafficked abroad. People are now looking for organs from pigs. If you can remember, a pig’s heart was used. They will traffic our children for organ harvesting. The Bill as proposed by our Committee will not ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: The statement that I made was not with bad intention. It is only that he seconded while the report was not ready. You hear that he was even hijacked just to second because there was a hurry because of the conflict of interest. However, if I did something wrong to Hon. Otiende Amollo… view
