• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I am particularly interested in the formation of the board. This Bill basically seeks to establish a board at both the constituency level and national level, which is a plus. When you talk about marginalised communities and persons, we see a situation where we have persons with disabilities and women in the board. Therefore, they will identify their problems and prioritise them. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I also support this Bill because it will sort out and cure what has been happening to most of our constituencies. About 90 per cent of Members of Parliament here have constituencies that are considered marginalised. I am happy because this is a Fund that will support our operations at the county level. view

This Bill has the best interests of our children and teachers. It seeks to protect our pupils and students who leave the confines and comfort of their homes to go to schools.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I schooled in boarding school as I grew up. Many times, we did not see the interventions that we are talking about. When I went out of the country to do my Master’s Degree in Columbia University in the United States of America (USA), I can remember in my first year at the university there was fire in the apartment that I was staying and we could not tell.

There are very specific occurrences that seem to increasingly happen in our learning institutions and which, because of the current curriculum and the content which has not included disaster risk reduction, have affected, to a large extent, schools. I support the Bill because I see that it is going to be a basis for working towards being better prepared, not just from the point of view of the authorities in schools - the staff and the teachers - but most importantly that it will ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The spirit of the amendment needs to incorporate the fact that we have different systems of determining age.
