• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to oppose this amendment because it seeks to discriminate against the youth. If you look at the provisions, you need 10 years working experience and five years in senior management. That would mean that young people cannot acquire such positions when they can still contribute to this country. It is very interesting that when you are in politics, you want to fend off any form of competition through legislation or any other way but, when you are out, you cannot get employment. It is good to reason around that because we are ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (10)- (10A) At least 5 per centum of the total annual allocation for the constituency shall be allocated for projects for the benefit of the persons with disabilities. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady for your protection. At least, 5 per cent of the total annual allocation for the constituency shall be allocated for the project for the benefit of the persons with disabilities. I want to beseech Members to agree with me on this proposal because it gives a minimum guarantee of consideration of educational projects in terms of special schools, access to bursaries and anything around that which the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) kitty will be catering for so that this group of people can be properly targeted. Currently, we get a lot of ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The projects that are envisaged here will not be outside the purview of the national Government CDF kitty. This is an amendment within the Bill. So, whatever the Bill covers, those projects will be specific to persons with disabilities like special schools--- view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Like special schools, special units in mainstream schools, school fees, bursaries and toilets. We are putting a minimum percentage. I know Members are doing it but there is no guidance. You have guidance for environment, sports and others. This is guidance so that at least there is that basic because persons with disabilities are not being considered across board. So, it provides for that. If, for example, you are receiving Kshs100 million, at least Kshs5 million of that will go towards the benefit of persons with disabilities within your constituency. That is the import of this. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As a nominated MP, I do not have CDF for the people I represent, which are the special interest groups. However, I rise to support this Bill, which is very good and timely. We have been disappointed by governors in this country. We actually thought that when they get money, they would do miracles and wonders. But what we have seen is a difference between the poverty before they came in and the wealth that we see in them and the people around them. I just curiously note that this Committee, led by Hon. ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Article 97 of the Constitution clearly states the groups that are supposed to be represented by nominated Members. It is on that basis that we find ourselves in this august House. However, when people make requests to us like having a special unit in a school, we cannot respond. For example, when they make requests that they may require to be assisted to go to school, we cannot assist them. So, many are the times that we say: “Okay, we hear your concern, but we do not have CDF.” Therefore, as representatives of the people we need to solve our ... view
