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.

  • 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The Member we are replacing is from the CORD coalition. We are proposing these changes because the 47 Members of Parliament are not represented in this list. We are proposing this amendment so that we consider the representation of the 47 women Members in the PAP so that the voice and visibility is included. The other issue is that we are replacing Senator Janet Ong’era with a Member of Wiper because we felt that Wiper was not represented in this list. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the amendment. Thank you. view

  • 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to fully support this Bill. I really consider this Bill highly. I am a member of this Committee and I have interacted with the discussions and deliberations on this Bill. I consider this Matrimonial Property Bill, 2013 very progressive in terms of mitigating and strengthening the distribution of matrimonial property and other assets. This Bill recognizes the contribution of both spouses and particularly women’s traditional areas like home management, child care, farm work including protecting the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

  • 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: assets of the family. Historically these were areas that never received any recognition. I am happy today that the efforts of women who have contributed greatly to the property and assets of their families are now recognized. Historically in Kenya over 50 per cent of women, in fact, over 70 per cent are not working, but they are building in the resources of their men. They have been suffering and most times they have been disinherited some of them ending up in serious circumstances. This Bill will protect this kind of scenario. That is why I consider it progressive. This ... view
  • 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I appreciate the efforts of hon. Letimalo in bringing this Motion. I am really sad because we have had frequent adjournments over this issue. The first week we came here, we adjourned because of insecurity. Week after week we have been doing the same thing; it has become music in this House. I am saddened that people are dying every day. One can say that life has become meaningless in this country. Today it is Baragoi and tomorrow it is Wajir. Today Wajir is hosting over 28,000 IDPs. They cannot go ... view
  • 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. The other common trend of this adjournment is that the Government security agencies are ineffective. There are no arrests or recovery of livestock. There is nobody who is taking responsibility. We are not a failed state. We are a stable and rich country. We are highly respected by our neighbouring States. What could be the problem? Is it that the people in the north are not Kenyans? We need to reflect on this matter. This House is not a centre for lamenting only. This House must act upon these concerns. We are not trying to learn how to ... view

  • 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to inquire from the Leader of Majority Party. Yesterday, when the Auditor-General presented his report, there was a section of the report indicating that Kshs33 billion was un-accounted for. view
  • 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, it is leading to that. The Auditor-General in his record, stated that Kshs33 billion could not be accounted for and we are just getting a grant of Kshs16 billion. It does not make sense! Can the Leader of Majority Party inform us how we will recover the internally un-accounted for money totaling to Kshs33 billion, instead The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
