• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. First, I congratulate the Mover, hon. Zuleikha. Our youth are idle in our counties because of poverty and some of them have gone into crime. Some of them are even taking drugs. Our youths have become stubborn because they have no money. They have no funds to initiate projects. If we support this Motion and if the Government is for the youth as the Jubilee Government has been saying, they will be able to raise their families. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Some youths fear to even marry because they have no money to raise families. Therefore, we need to empower the youth through creating jobs for them. Through the Fund, they can get skills which will enable them to get jobs. This will build capacity in the youth and this will improve their standard of living. The Government has not put funds in TIVET which has been training the youth. We should make sure that the National Council for the Youth is given some funds, so that it can empower the youth. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The youths are being trained at the National Youth Service and the youth polytechnics, but those youths do not have funds to start projects. So, let us give the youth the capital to initiate projects, so that they can sustain themselves. We should stop saying that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow. We should empower them right now. This is the time for the youth to be empowered. We train many youths at the National Youth Service and the Government should set up something for them to do. When they come out, they are trained but they have no ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. First of all, I wish to thank the French Government for giving us the grant--- view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion. Many people have died of cancer. In fact, I have two ladies who are cancer patients. One has developed depression because she went to hospital and was told that she had breast cancer. Later, she was told that she did not have cancer. After giving birth, she found out that she had breast cancer. Right now, she is depressed. I urge the Government to deploy experts to deal with cancer. We are told that prevention is better than cure. I would advise the Government to check the chemicals that are used on our ... view
• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion, but I do not think getting the insurance alone will help the animals or the people in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). People would just relax and wait for that insurance. view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: My name is Dorcas Kedogo, the Vihiga County Women Representative. I was just saying that some measures have been put in place. Let the people of ASAL look for a way of getting fodder; get a factory or a store where they can stock food for the animals. Let them make a dam somewhere where the animals can get enough water. So, unless we put measures in place, we will be cheating ourselves by just saying: “Let us have the insurance.” So, I would urge the Government to put measures in place before giving the insurance. Otherwise, I support the ... view

• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: My name is Dorcas Kedogo from Vihiga County. Just to add on to that, as our colleagues have said, it should not be even in constituencies. I would prefer that free medication be available in every dispensary, because these are easily reachable. Also, I would just talk about the order of payments. This is because even those who are receiving the little money--- Sometimes it becomes difficulty to be given everything. Some even do not get and those who get may get 10 per cent of what should be given to them. I should also go on record that a ... view
