Fatuma Ibrahim Ali
Fatuma credits her success to her grandmother who took her to school after her parents separated. She chose to study Agriculture as she believes that only agriculture could alleviate poverty in food insecure Wajir County. Her work at UN Women exposed her to the challenges women face daily, physically and mentally. In 2003 she was appointed a commissioner to the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights (KNCHR) and spearheaded the release of a report faulting the government’s IDP’s resettlement exercise (Operation Rudi Nyumbani). Fatuma is passionate about girl child education and seeks to ensure none of the girls in Wajir lacks education due to financial constraints.

- 25 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose this deletion that if you want to totally discourage people in investing heavily in a bad practice such as gambling, drinking alcohol and cigarette smoking, you need to raise taxation so that it is not favourable for people who are likely to indulge in that. view
