• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Sankok, I also want to make it very clear to you that you have no mandate to rule me out of order. It is only the Speaker who has that mandate. Many a time, we have been blaming state agencies and the Government for failure to implement reports that are tabled and approved by this House. But how can we implement such a report that seeks to exonerate and give a contrary view that there is no Kenyan who is suffering in Saudi Arabia? Part of the Committee’s recommendations state that the Government ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you should give me more time. I was asking the Member for Baringo to come and sit next to me if Hon. Sankok is harassing her. This topic is very important and sensitive to this country. The reason the Committee was tasked by this House to investigate this matter is because of its grave national importance. Even as I oppose the Report, I want you to give direction that either the Committee relooks into this matter or you appoint an ad hoc committee which understands the importance of the matter. At times, when you hear that ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: died in Saudi Arabia. I want to tell this Committee that the level of education of the people who seek employment in Saudi Arabia does not matter. They must be protected. We need an explanation for any suffering that is inflicted on Kenyans. This Report falls short of their mandate. I was even wondering how the Members approved its tabling before this House because it is contrary to the mandate they were told to investigate. Recommendation No.5.2 says that we should spend more money to carry out campaigns because whatever we have been seeing on television and on the social ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to thank Hon. Ndindi Nyoro for coming up with it because the intention is very good. This country is losing a lot of money in the form of corruption. We should ask ourselves one question. The amount of money which this country is losing is always increasing despite the efforts by Government agencies to fight corruption. Instead of corruption going down, it is increasing every day. Is it that the penalties are very low? I do not think so. They say that ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you should add me some minutes. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There must be two reports that come after corruption related cases are reported. We have one report to clearly show who is to blame and who is taken to court. We must have another report, which I 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
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: want to call a root cause analysis report that will identify the areas where the pilferage took place, and the loopholes in the system that these people are using to siphon money. That way, you will be in a position to come up with corrective action. We want to see a scenario where this House is engaged in reviewing policies and procedures that emanate from investigation reports in order to block the loopholes that people are using to siphon money. As I said when I was beginning my contribution to this Bill, we must look into our Integrated Financial Management ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Bill. My only worry is that so many laws are passed by this House as a lot of work is in the implementation stage. More specifically, we should be monitoring compliance to these particular laws. How I wish going forward, as a House, we can even demand that the agencies that are supposed to implement or monitor implementation of laws have a particular checklist that contains a matrix that can be measured. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: These laws are passed for the sole purpose of improving the ECDE in this country. Without proper monitoring to ensure that ECDE centres comply with the requirements of this law, we would be passing these laws in futility. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy that this law is also concerned with the safety of the children of this country – the ECDE pupils. Today we have mushrooming child care centres that have not even been approved by the Government. These kinds of centres breed diseases for our children but they do not comply with the regulations. I am happy that this Bill seeks to cure that problem. Education is a very important function. Early childhood development education is crucial because it sets the foundation for the career path for the children of this country. It must be a shared responsibility between ... view
