• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I want to make it clear that I will be bringing an amendment to this Bill. This country has about 6 million Kenyans living with disability. If we are not going to set systems straight from the word go, the composition in this Bill will not be achieved. The Bill forms the board of trustees where we are going to be drawing members from the CoG, the Public Service Board, county assemblies and trade unions. I want to see a composition that has a representative of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: persons living with disability (PLWDs). They get it rough when it comes to payments especially when they go to request for their pension. They easily give up. view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, during the Committee of the whole House, I am bringing an amendment and I urge Members to support it, to make sure a representative of persons living with disability sits in the board. This will ensure that when all is said and done, my population of PLWDs are cared for. I am happy the Members will support my amendment. I am happy because for once, we are having a trustee and a scheme. We have the fund manager, the custodian and the board of trustees, and we are trying to define the functions of the fund manager. The Bill ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I fully support the Bill. This is a new lease of life, which will ensure that in our 47 counties, the county employees’ retirement issues are well taken care of. We should have a retirement scheme in which the governor, the public service board, the MCAs, county executives and tea girls and cleaners belong. We want everyone working in county assemblies to be taken care of because this is the spirit of devolution. As you are aware, I am a very well trained financial education trainer. Issues of managing money and how our people save money during their pick moments ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to congratulate and thank Hon. Osotsi for bringing this important Motion. I want to also recognise that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism, where I am member, Dr. Victor Munyaka, has indicated that we would like to get a Bill out of it. I just want to emphasise one key issue that, in my view, is really important as we think about this Motion.

• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I conclude, the Minority Party Chief Whip, Hon. Junet, referred to age and indicated that when we look at the Senate, we tend to see them as being on the old angle. Article 11 of the Constitution talks about culture, while Article 10 talks about national values. Because of experience and a lot of learning, there is a sense in which the old people are; they have wisdom which can be useful. As we look at this matter, I hope we will not necessarily imply that the Senators do not execute their mandate because ... view

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know I am at the risk of losing one minute. I would like to confirm to Hon. Member that, not only was I here when the second bell was being rung, but I was actually here way before the bell rung. The world over, we are aware that education is an equaliser. We all know that when we seek to determine the future of our country and to ensure that we are committed to all those programmes that we have, we look at education. I, therefore, support this Motion. We also know that ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We have many programmes in this country. We have the orphans and vulnerable children programme, the elderly, persons with disability and, now, the universal health programme, which will be in 12 countries. As I support this Motion, I would like to urge that we do not become a country that only comes up with very good programmes, but no implementation. Rather, we should ensure that we have adequate financial allocation and monitoring. I support the Motion and thank the Member because this is an extremely important aspect that we would like to address. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
