• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: as a mother, my heart bleeds for the youth of this country because when we go home, they always confront us with requests for employment or on ways of earning a living. It is so sad that fellow Kenyans sit and come up with ways and means of bleeding the YEDF to enrich themselves. I wonder whether they have a conscience. For them to sit and write letters saying that money in an account can be withdrawn by one person, it is unheard of. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to also support this Bill. It is important that we value and recognise the efforts of non-State actors. Normally, for the success of a country, there is room for the Government and the civil society or non-State actors. When this Bill is signed into law, it will help in regulating the relationship between the Government and non-State actors. We recognise the immense contribution that non-State actors make in the development of our nation. Indeed, both the Government and non-State actors serve the citizens of this country. However, there is need for close ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Despite the fact that the Mover was not here, I have the side of this Motion. To me, I cannot see how we can say having a chaplain in a school is expensive. Look at the converse of that. Recently, when we came face to face with the burning of schools by students, some of the reasons were that parents no longer have enough time to bring up kids. They are very busy trying to look for economic strength to send them to school, clothe them, and feed them and all that. That is ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: for someone to influence them that easily for them to do so much destruction and yet, they know they will need the classes tomorrow and other people who will be born tomorrow will need the same classes? There is something about their conscience which is not right. We need to beef it up so that we have human beings who are scared of doing evil and people who can even report when someone is planning something which is not good. When the chaplains are there, they can trust them more than the teachers. The teachers are administrators. Those other guy ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. At the outset, let me say that as a mother, I feel distraught because this gambling issue is affecting the young people. The youth of this country, including our children who are in universities and colleges, are affected. How it came to the level that we licensed so many gambling institutions until now that we realise things have gone very far is unfortunate. We see the signs when we see children committing suicide as a result of their money having been blown away in gambling. Sincerely, those are not the ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Water is important for every human being. We are told that in our bodies, we carry a large percentage of water and we cannot do without it. Now, when we talk of water, it is unfortunate that 50 years down the line, we have not been able to supply water to each and every individual. However, talking about The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: institutions of learning like schools, that is where our young people are nurtured and issues of water is critical. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I would ask my colleague to see how he will promote this Motion into a Bill because it is so essential. In our schools, we have so many needs. For instance, when the girl-child is in her days, water is a very essential commodity, especially in boarding schools where there is no water. It becomes a challenge and a health issue. I support and I thank him for bringing this Motion at this point. I hear people comparing the issue of provision of electricity and water. Being in a technological age, both these items are important. We should not be ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill because we have said more than once that issues of forest cover are important. Many conferences have taken place globally discussing issues of climate change. When we look around, it is only the plants that will save the planet. We know for sure that we are witnessing many disasters that are related to lack of ground cover. Our country as per research has less than 10 per cent forest cover which is very risky for us now and for the generations to come. I am happy and ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am happy about this bilateral negotiated instrument. At the back drop of it, of course, is the ailing airline known as “The Pride of Africa”. As we consider this bilateral agreement, all is not lost. We need to urge the management of KQ to pull up their socks so that we do not lose that pride. view
