• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, physical planning is paramount. In fact, the word “development” over and above social development, is largely seen as the planning of land use and the construction of various built environments. Yet that is something that has become very elusive to our country. In fact nobody cares. If you look at this Bill, it speaks very well in terms of the organisation, the structure of how we will be looking at physical planning. It provides for bodies like the National Physical Planning Consultative Forum. I do not know why it should be a consultative forum and not a council. It ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: to speak to. We can have proper development of our country; as long as that is not attained, we will just have slums everywhere. My time is up, but I want to say that we also need to ensure that development plans speak to Vision 2030. We have the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) at the county level and also issues of people with disabilities. The greatest disabling issue is the built environment where persons with disabilities are not able to access buildings and roads that are conducive. view

• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.95. Listening to the contribution by Members, I feel that we are repeating ourselves. I, therefore, request that the Mover be called upon to reply. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to this Bill. First, I want to say that the Bill is very good. It seeks to help, for example, bright students to get an opportunity to go to school. When you look at the provision that seeks to provide for this opportunity for a quartile--- view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At least, this is not Hon. Lelelit’s Bill. I wanted us to proceed to the next one. If you look at these provisions, the Committee wants to ensure that needy students get an opportunity to go to school. That is very important. But the Bill fails to provide a proper mechanism. It calls for the CSs for the National Treasury and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to come up with regulations to achieve the same. It would have been more prudent to allocate such a function to any of the ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this deletion. As we canvassed on this issue, Hon. Dalmas Otieno and I opposed it. That is because if you got a mean grade of C+ (plus) and, therefore, never attained the university admission cut-off point for the regular programme but you are rich, you cannot say that the only students who should get the HELB Fund are those who are Government sponsored. That is very discriminatory. The HELB Fund cannot be compelled to give loans to certain individuals and leave out others. We are all Kenyans. It is only ... view

• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to oppose that deletion. To give reasons that student leaders cannot be organised to elect their representatives is not convincing for me. That can be done. Maybe, what would have been proposed is actually to increase the membership of representation so as to have the tertiary institutions. It is important if students were actually represented in the HELB Board. We know that there has been resistance from HELB itself. They would have been able to assist in ensuring there is fair administration of that Fund. view
