• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Gender can be seen as difference where we will be looking at men and women and their rules. Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal was the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development and Hon. Naomi Shaban the Minister. I later on had the honour of taking over from him and we were clearly indicating that if you are thinking of gender as difference, then you are thinking of roles. You will be making sure that you address issues such as security, electricity, water and education because they will tend to be duties that women perform. You will be ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We can also see the Call to Action No.3, which talks about frameworks of monitoring. As I support this Report, I want to say that we have heard, since we went to Beijing in 1995 and in 2000, that they have been placing a lot of emphasis on statistics because we need statistics to assist us in policy making. However, it is time we used statistics to help us to monitor going by the level of domestic violence and the number of the challenges that we experience. It is for this reason that I hope that we can now begin ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Report of the Select Committee because it touches on Bills that we might not immediately get to see the way they significantly affect us depending on whether we are male or female and, therefore, some of the roles that we play. I particularly want to speak to the aspect of meteorological services and the protocol on dealing with meteorological services. As has been indicated, we are here talking about issues that affect weather and climate change. In particular, I would like to support this Report because it is ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: place. It would also determine whether or not we are getting information equally depending on whether we are women or men. As I conclude, it is extremely important that when we look at issues such as food security, we need to know that information at times is available but is not presented just on grounds of gender. When we look at disaster risk reduction, we see that there are cases of untold tragedies because we have found that as a result of rules or traditional understanding of roles of women and girls, we have had very difficult issues. This is ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I want to say that this was a profound and useful learning experience. I want to thank Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, Hon. Amos Kimunya and the Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The point that I want to raise is in line with what Hon. Wamalwa has indicated. It is in line with the submission which I made when we considered the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018 in the House. It was to find out whether we would go back to what we had agreed on as a House, with regard to reclassification of supplies from zero-rated to exempt status to increase domestic funds. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: As we determine this matter, I want to ask about the issue that was raised by Hon. Mbadi. We, as a House, were quite happy when the Committee realised that if we reclassify items which are in zero-rated status to exempt status, we will bring untold challenges in VAT on items such as medicine, cooking gas, milk, flour and the number of issues that will affect the vulnerable groups. I am saying this because I feel that it will be clear, if there is a provision that will not allow us to go back and it is a matter that ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I truly find this discussion very illuminative and useful. However, I want to be sure that we will not go back to what we clearly indicated, if the legislation will affect women, the vulnerable people and those in informal areas. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. Thank you, the Deputy Minority Whip, for allowing me to take the opportunity which I have been given by the Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to support this Motion. I want to thank the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Mbadi, for bringing this Motion. As I start, I would like us to remember that in life, you do not get what you deserve but what you pursue. One of the reasons why when we form countries we declare sovereignty and come up with constitution, which clearly stipulates who is supposed to engage in some activities, is because we are aware that there might be errant people or those who lack discipline and in some cases those who have bad manners who ... view
