  • 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: embarrassment to this House. That is why we do not need to discuss this matter. It does not deserve any merit for us to discuss it. view
  • 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Wamalwa, this is not where you come from. You are behaving as if you are in a public rally. Why are they raising their hands as if we are in a nursery school where children say “teacher”? I am addressing the Speaker. They should not raise their hands as if we are in a nursery school or kindergarten. view
  • 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I will assist him. view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As you have rightly put it, this is a good Motion. I thank Hon. Didmus Barasa for bringing it to the attention of the House. Those who suffer most are PWDs. This House should be aware that if a PWD is on a wheelchair during rush hours and when it is raining, the matatus are in a rush. They see the snail speed of a PWD on a wheelchair entering a matatu as a deterrent to rush and make more profit. People living with disability can stand on those bus stops for hours being rained ... view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, one of the indicators of performance in all ministries, departments and agencies is disability mainstreaming. This country has made many strides in realising the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. What is pulling us down is the chaotic matatu industry. We need to regulate it, especially in line with the Persons with Disabilities Act of 2003. If the rest of the persons with disability are suffering the most, it is also pathetic that we have given authority to a collection of people, a gang, to regulate the industry – to know which prices ... view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know my good friend, Hon. Babu Owino, is agitated. He has been a student leader and he is very vocal. He was here earlier, but he is out of order by cross-exchanging words with Hon. Waluke. Hon. Members should learn to go through the Temporary Deputy Speaker who is in control. view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I support these nominees especially because they meet the two-thirds gender balance rule. Looking at their names, the appointing authority tried as much as possible to ensure regional balance. I have some reservations. Many people with disabilities who acquired their disability during old age were mostly courtesy of road accidents and violence. Majority of them who acquire disabilities through violence are in the police service. It would have been imperative for the appointing authority to make sure that in this particular commission, there is somebody with ... view
  • 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: officers who have acquired disability can still be of assistance in recording OBs in office work. The Police Service requires office work. This can only be streamlined if we have a commissioner with disabilities. The reason why I support this list against those odds is because of the nominees themselves. The nominees are not only qualified but there are two female nominees amongst the six nominees which gives us two-thirds gender threshold which we want. There is a nominee called John ole Moyaki. The Maasai people say that if things get worse, you go back to your father’s house. That ... view
