• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am getting concerned about these deletions. It is not because they are not relevant, but they are very sweeping to the point that even if you were to remove the roles that had been given to a CEO or a Board, some of these provisions are very good even in the spirit of transparency and accountability. We have just passed a Fund which is supposed to be managed by a Principal Secretary (PS) without any committee. I did not see that Fund being domiciled within the Directorate of Climate Change. If you look ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support these amendments, but I have one concern. Looking at the proposal, it is very good. Issues like disaster risk management have not been given adequate profile yet if, as a country we were to look at it from a climate change view but also generally at this high level, it would really help us to mitigate disaster. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, looking at the proposal for the assignment of county executives at the county level, the robust nature with which a lot of responsibilities and powers have been given to the Cabinet Secretary for environment may not suffice at the county level because the County Executive Committee (CEC) is supposed to be designated. Maybe the Mover would have proposed the county executive who is in charge of matters relating to environment. It would have been clearer. view

• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: 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
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. While this Clause seems to cure the concern I had before about the engagement of the Council, of course there is also the issue of limitation of such participation, especially when you provide in Sub-clause 25 (6) about if somebody requests to give information, the Council has the powers to decline such requests if that request is considered to be unreasonable. Maybe if at all somebody is requesting information, then you can give what you consider to be reasonable. In my opinion, to have such a clause may infringe on the right to information ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill is very important because it sets clear the confusion that has been there in terms of the custody of children between the mother and father. We hope that it is going to ensure that there is equal parental responsibility on both parties. I support this Bill for the Third Reading. view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to present a public petition by the Kenya Education Assessment and Resource Centres (EARC) Association on the challenges of educational assessment and resource services. I, the undersigned, on behalf of citizens of Kenya, and in particular education assessors of the educational assessment and resource centres, draw the attention of the House to the following;- (i) THAT, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has failed to transfer the special needs education top-up funds to special schools and units in schools for children. Schools have not received special needs education top-up funds since 2010, hence children with ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: (i) the Government will resume remittance of the special needs top-up funds to special schools and special needs units in schools; (ii) the Government will absorb the educational assessors as the assessment of special needs is a function of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, and not of the TSC; (iii) the special needs education Sub-sector policy will be implemented by the Ministry of Education and the TSC in full; (iv) the Government will resume remittance of the allowance of the educational assessors on special needs; and, (v) the Government will establish a clear organizational structure and terms of ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment. However, I am at a loss. Even though the hon. Member has clarified from his notes that he has not included former presidents, prime ministers and cabinet secretaries, based on the Order Paper, I would propose that former presidents and prime ministers be included. I am also wondering whether governors should be included. They are actually heads of county governments. As such, they need to be given the opportunity to also use a siren. Even in the other clause that we have just passed, we actually equated Members ... view
