• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, allow me to pass my happy new year greetings on behalf of myself and persons with disabilities who I represent. They have sent me to request that this year, issues disability find favour in this House. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Allow me to support the Kenya Accreditation Service Bill because it is coming at a time when, in this country, there are a lot of fake things and counterfeits flooding the Kenyan market. Fortunately enough, I had an opportunity of living in the United States of America (USA). I think Members know they have an organisation called the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) which is a strong body that does accreditation and checks all the imports, foods and products that leave that country. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: By this Bill coming at this time it is a good opportunity to ensure that, as a country, the products we export to outside countries get the credit deserved. We want to set a standard that promotes credibility of our goods. In this country, we have been told there are plastic fish being sold. We do not know whether that fish is counterfeit and yet, it finds space in this country. When you go outside the country, you are likely to find Kenyan products in American markets. You know those products belong to this country and yet, they have nothing ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: To me, this is an opportunity which this country should use to establish the national accreditation service. I am happy that this Bill is going to look at that body and propose a thorough composition of the board to be established. I want to appeal and plead that the board of that body should be made up of Kenyan men and women of integrity who will ensure credibility of products exported from this country to other countries. This will also give our country credibility. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy the Bill talks about the conduct and the whole entire course of accreditation. This is an extremely good Bill which is going to create a body that will provide credibility of the various products that we will export. It actually sets standards which will be recognized internationally. The same way we have a habit as Kenyans of appreciating products from other countries, I would love to see our products in the markets of Brooklyn, New York or New Jersey which the Americans will proudly use. I support this Bill and thank the Committee and the Leader of ... view

• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I would like to thank the Committee and say that I support the amendments. I do this in view of what has already been presented, particularly by the Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. (Dr.) Naomi Shaban. The operationalisation and implementation of devolution had a lot of challenges in terms of time. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: When we came up with devolution, the key interest was to see ways in which we would bring services and more opportunities for those who are at the grassroots level whose voices are not heard sometimes at the policy level. This Bill does a great job of looking at where loopholes 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
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: are. It also seeks to ensure that the existing State organs such as the Senate, the National Assembly and the respective county governments are able to get this done. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: As I support the Bill, I do it from the perspective that we recognise that we need to bring sanity. The Transition Authority (TA) operated within a timeframe. It was not able to separate or complete some of the most critical concerns. We were left with a lot of confusion. The Leader of the Majority Party made reference to the key concern with regard to the manner in which the assets were handled. The TA supported inheritance of assets from the national Government to the counties which was not prudent. My great concern is that the national Government had very ... view
