• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am sure you travel abroad using other airlines. The minute you are in Dubai or somewhere else and see the KQ team in their uniform, you know you will travel with KQ. It feels very good. Being the leader in the air business in East and Central Africa region, it is really sad that they are ailing. We hope they will turn around and reclaim their lost glory. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Looking at air transport, that is one area Kenya needs to invest in. Even if the national carrier is ailing, other private companies can step in to help us transport our goods to other markets. For instance, in Baringo County, we have a lot of goat meat. It will be very exciting to transport meat from Kimalel Market all the way to Dubai or other available markets. If there were other bilateral agreements like this between Kenya and even Morocco, we would move our goods very fast to Europe. These kinds of agreements can help to grow businesses. In that ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to add my voice in support of this Motion. Indeed, issues of water are critical especially in schools. Besides the provision of clean drinking water to school children, other individuals around schools will benefit from its availability. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: There are some boarding schools which keep cows for milk, chicken and pigs and water is a critical component for the success of these projects. Our young girls in boarding schools cannot do without water, especially when they are on their monthly periods. It is quite challenging for them if they do not get water. It is unfortunate that 53 years down the line, issues of water have never been sorted out in this country. We are a lucky country because we get reasonable rainfall and, therefore, there is a lot of underground water. The only problem is that we ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: of water. If we can build more dams, boreholes and harvest rain water; we can have a lot of water for everybody. In that respect, the Government needs to stamp its authority and consider the issues which governors are handling at the grassroots. We should jointly have a common approach on how to ensure that water is available to our students in learning institutions. My colleagues have mentioned the issue of waterborne diseases which affect children who fetch drinking water from rivers. There is no certainty about the safety of water and there is no time to purify it before ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to add my voice to this. I call upon us as Kenyans to be one. Whenever we come across such tight corners, we should always aspire to look at the bigger picture and remember that we are carrying the aspirations of many people. I am glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am sure that we will come up with a bigger roadmap come 2017 that will ensure that everybody is comfortable. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to contribute to this Motion by Hon. Chris Wamalwa. I thank him very much. As we stand here, more than 40 schools have been set ablaze. What is more worrying is that this is all over the country. The way it is done seems to be systematic. This is a grave situation simply because the people who are alleged to do these acts happen to be young and are the future for this nation. In that respect, our Constitution enumerates several national values which if we all abide by, ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I agree with my colleague that by removing all forms of punishment in schools, we are giving a lot of leeway for wayward children to influence even the good ones. It is high time we looked back. The other day I went to a secondary school and the children introduced themselves. The head girl introduced herself as the “governoress”. She also said that there is a governor and yet these are very big titles. I do not think these people have reached a level where they can command or rule the rest of the students. This is because they still ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I rise to also support this discussion. I have listened since I came in and heard my colleagues talk about several issues affecting the sugar industry and, by extension, the agricultural sector in this country. It is unfortunate that 50 years down the line, we are still struggling with issues of management and corruption. Every so often, we see the Government bailing out governmental factories or institutions. Until and unless we deal with the corruption aspect and we develop discipline in business, there is no point setting up huge factories and ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to add my voice to what my colleagues have said. Everyone is in support of the Bill, save for the few areas where the Bill needs some amendment. This is a good Bill. I come from the Rift Valley and I stand here as a legislator from that area. I stand here as a mother. Before I go into the provisions of the Bill, my first call is to our sportspeople to desist from using enhancing substances. I urge them that like in the old days, we can conquer the world ... view
