• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is quite disturbing to note that most students, especially from Nyandarua County, where I come from, go to school hungry. I want to correct the Mover of this Motion that it is not only schools in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) that need to be provided with food, but there are schools elsewhere with very poor students who go to school with no food at all. We have very dry areas in Nyandarua where parents of these students are very poor. I support the parents and their children most of the time. I know if we start this programme, ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I just want to say in this House that we need a docket that can take care of this programme. I do not think there is any other docket that can take care of this programme than the woman representative one. Even as we think of channelling this money to any other docket, I suggest that this money be channelled through the woman representative docket. This is where you find motherly love and care. We will follow it up with all the schools and headmasters as mothers. The Government should fund this programme progressively instead of allocating money for one ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As we start this school feeding programme, we should encourage our schools to start farming programmes, so that the feeding programme cannot be temporary. It should continue to the end. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is good to give these children food during lunch time. However, I want to suggest that we introduce a take-home potion because when these children go home, they sometimes have nothing to eat. Some of them sleep hungry. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: So, there is no point of feeding them during lunch time and when they go home, they have no food. The ‘take home’ portion should also be considered. I am putting this across to the Mover of the Motion so that he can include it. The issue of irrigation should be emphasised. When we do irrigation in schools--- view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the Vote. There is a reduction of money for industrialisation from Kshs10 billion to Kshs6 billion and yet, this is one of the pillars of the Big Four Agenda. Why do we have to reduce the money from Kshs10 billion to Kshs6 billion and yet, we want to achieve the Big Four Agenda? We need to add value to the food crops we grow and start industries everywhere in the country. Our youth are unemployed and so, we need to create employment for them through creation of industries. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I do not know how the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee got to reduce the amount from Kshs10 billion to Kshs6 billion. This is very sad. In Nyandarua, we lose potatoes and carrots. We need to start industries. It is sad when we reduce monies for industrialisation. I do not know what to say. view
• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to the President’s Address. Of importance, I want to commend the President for the handshake that has stabilised this nation. I want to congratulate our President for putting this country first and embracing our brother Hon. Raila Odinga. The handshake has healed what has ailed this nation for a long time, namely, the enmity and tribalism. Today, I can visit Kisumu and any other part of this country without fear of intimidation. Before this happened, these two leaders had pounded hard on the direction the country was ... view
