• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Mhe. Naibu Spika, kwa sababu naona muda wangu umeenda sana, mara nyingi twarejelea lugha yetu ya Kiswahili kwa sababu wahenga walisema kuwa “mwenda tesi na omo marejeo ni ngamani”. Kwa sababu muda hauniruhusu na Waswahili husema “ana maneno mengi kama chiriku aliye kunywa maji ya chooni”. Mimi sijayanywa na ninaunga mkono Hoja hii. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to speak to the Motion on the Budget Policy Statement. This has been a very engaging process as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There are various issues that arise in my observation. If you look at the manner in which we are allocating funds, there is no covariance between that and the five pillars as enshrined in the proposed Budget Policy Statement (BPS). This is very worrying. It, therefore, means that there is a very distinct dichotomy between the narrative of the Statement and the resource envelope as provided ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: has an impact on issues to do with Exchequer release, as and when money is available for the implementation of projects and most importantly project delivery. Going forward, we need to look at this issue even through the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade to ensure that there are realistic targets. It is good to be optimistic with regard to collection of revenue. In fact, there is no more justification for KRA to work harder than the demands that we are getting in order to fulfill them. Currently, there is a gap of about Kshs50 billion. This, in itself, has ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I said that women are marginalised systemically. That is what I mean.

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: No, they are finding it more difficult when others find it easy for their allocations to be increased. That is actually systemic marginalisation. We, the nominated Members of Parliament, who were nominated to represent special interest, argued a case for a special interest issues fund. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: No, no, no, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Our request for a special interest issues fund was declined casually yet the other money was being shared left, right and centre; as if we are sharing a piece of cake. Therefore, we really need to look at some of these issues. I am surprised that ten minutes are over. One of the other things that I also want to talk about is funding in special schools. If you look at the monies allocated to special schools, you will appreciate that they are not enough. Many of the children with disabilities going to ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I rise to support this amendment by hon. Wanjiku Muhia, who is a member of the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association. The questions that are being asked are two. Number one is: Does it apply to the private sector? Yes, because this House legislates for both the public and private sectors. Number two is the cost element. That is the element that has been discriminatory for persons with disabilities in this country. When you want to provide services for persons with disabilities, you are reminded that it is too costly. That has been the greatest challenge. You ... view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Section 15 of Cap 133 2A. Section 15 of the Persons with Disabilities Act is amended in Sub-section (6) by deleting the word “sixty” and substituting therefor the word “sixty five”. The principal Act, the Persons with Disabilities Act, No. 14 of 2003, Section 24(5) and (6) had provided that because of the time lost in school and in getting employment due to various barriers for persons with disabilities, the retirement age for persons with disabilities should be 60 years. But with the Government change of policy for all civil servants and public servants to retire at the age of ... view
