• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: That was in 2007. Since then, no woman has ever been elected even as Member of County Assembly. This affirmative action is very important because some of our societies and our cultures may not enable women to aspire for leadership positions, especially elective positions. Of course, time is changing. More and more women are getting quality education, occupying special seats and special positions in our Government, in professional bodies and in State corporations. I am very sure that it is just a matter of time before they are elected to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: positions in the Senate, the National Assembly and the county assemblies as well as the presidency. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The timeframe of 20 years is a good place to start as framers of our Constitution clearly stated but if necessary, we can still enhance it at the right time if that requirement in our Constitution is not fully attained by the time that period lapses. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this constitutional amendment Bill to enhance the two- thirds gender rule in our country. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. In terms of the traditions of this House and the precedents that have been set before, a Departmental Committee of this House did its work, consulted the stakeholders widely and took a position on the Floor of this House. I do not think it is in order for the Leader of the Majority Party to undermine their role. He is an individual with a serious office in this House. It does not augur well with the traditions in this House if the whole work done by a Departmental Committee is undermined. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for the record, I want to state that a Departmental Committee of this House is delegated that responsibility by the entire House. It is their right to guide this House. The Chair said that instead of doing piecemeal amendments, they want to do holistic amendment to the parent Act. That is the guidance the Committee gave to this House. I strongly feel that the Leader of the Majority Party should not just stand up and rubbish the work of the entire Committee of this House. That is my problem. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I support the position of the Committee. It is time we had a national and focused approach to this issue. Having a National Adoption Centre for our children might be the best way to go. I support. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do support the Leader of the Majority Party’s amendment on this. As a Committee, actually we had a similar amendment but we felt that his should carry the day. So, it is actually just fitting that we have the National Environmental Complaints Committee replace the National Environment Department. This is because it is only investigative and that name is more befitting and more suitable. We are in concurrence. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I strongly oppose that amendment. All over the world professors are tenured to have their jobs for life. In this case, the Vice Chancellor is a CEO. We should give them five years to have a strategic plan effectively and take that university somewhere. Three years is such a short period. It is a joke. I strongly oppose. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I happened to be in the same Committee with Hon. Kioni in the 10th Parliament. The selection panel was for a purpose then. It was a transitional mechanism. It has no value right now. Let the Commission do its job. view
