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.

  • 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Clause 7(h) says: “Liaise with the relevant Government Ministries, institutions and organisations in matters relating to conferring of awards to young people.” The other thing, if you look at some of these clauses, like paragraph (h) on the functions of the board, there is the issue of liaising with the relevant Government Ministries, institutions and organizations in matters relating to conferring of awards to young people. I am assuming these kinds of institutions and organizations will definitely be the ones at the lower level – at the community level – because that is one of the areas that they are ... view

  • 11 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me this opportunity. I support the Bill on the Nairobi International Financial Centre. It is a timely Bill which will help regulate our financial system at both the national and international levels, including the regional level. It is good to have standardised accepted standards, guidelines and a law that will help a country which is located in a very strategic position in Africa to have regulations that will allow actors in the financial sector, and other actors. Kenya is among the top countries in African economies. Kenya is the fifth country in ... view

  • 11 May 2017 in National Assembly: Kenya is seen as a serious competitor and a development hub for the devolved world, particularly the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), Europe and Asia. Kenya is one of the biggest economies in Africa, and it is growing. When Vision 2030 was being developed, Kenya was aimed at becoming a middle level income country. Kenya has many opportunities in terms of developing new infrastructure such as railways and transnational highways that connect Kenya with other countries in the region. Kenya is also a connectivity hub in Africa, both by air and road. One of the missing ... view

  • 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill of 2016 by Hon. Grace Kiptui. I support this amendment. It is very timely and greatly contributes to the goal of education in terms of increased enrolment, retention and completion of children in primary and secondary schools, particularly girls. This amendment will create a more reliable supply of sanitary towels to all girls in public schools. Girls in puberty have been experiencing challenges and there are enough records in different researches which have been carried out. Girls miss almost a third of the ... view
  • 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Girls who are mostly affected in terms of accessing sanitary towels are those in the rural and remote areas, which most of us represent in this House. This amendment will mitigate some of the challenges the girls experience in the rural and remote areas and in informal settlements. The rate of poverty is very high in those areas. The Government has been providing sanitary pads to schools in a less organised and uncoordinated manner. Sometimes you see the Ministry The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ... view

Of late, County Women Representatives distribute sanitary towels. The effort is there, but it is not coordinated and sometimes there might be oversupply or undersupply because there is no central agency that is coordinating a quality distribution system of sanitary towels to girls in primary and secondary schools. This amendment will help in addressing some of the concerns on lack of access to sanitary towels by girls. It will help some of the girls who are not accessing them. It is not just sanitary ... view
