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.

It is necessary to extend the period of the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board. We need to appreciate that the Board has done remarkable work despite the challenges.

  • 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We need to appreciate that vetting of judges and magistrates is not an easy job. We should appreciate the work that they have done. In this country judges and magistrates are still engaged in corruption and a lot of malpractices. As a country, we are dealing with corruption across board in all places and institutions. I really feel that the culture of accountability is being inculcated in the process of vetting judges and magistrates. It could be a small gain but it has nurtured an element of accountability and auditing of individual’s work and could be containing the likelihood of ... view
  • 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: That Board has left behind instruments of vetting newly recruited judges and magistrates because this is a growing country. Even the judicial officers working in the Judiciary, there are instruments that have already been developed by the Board that will be utilized as a starting point in order to build a stronger and sustainable practice of accountability.

  • 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Magistrates Vetting Board shared with us that they are developing post-vetting of judges and magistrates work so that they can hand over the new instruments and structures. This will allow continuity of vetting in the future, so that there will be no gaps. It will inculcate a culture of accountability, personal audit and personal reflection among judges and magistrates. I support the extension of time for the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board for 90 days for them to do a better quality finalization of their work. view

  • 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The National Youth Service (NYS) has been allocated about Kshs11 billion. We should freeze any allocation of money to the NYS because of heavy looting and corruption of the already existing funds. view

  • 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: First and foremost, I want to recognise the work of the Committee. They are fulfilling a constitutional mandate. This is good progress. A lot of effort has been put into this Bill. The Chairman has done a good job and we support him. If you walk around, you will realise that pastoral areas are where community land is likely to be found. Counties that have vast land have had trust lands. The Chairman of the Committee appreciated the Report of the PPG caucus that was presented by the Member for Narok North. I would like to confirm that during the ... view
