• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the outset, as a Member of the Committee, I would like to say that this is, indeed, a timely Bill and one that is going to make a big contribution. As we look at the Kenyan populace, starting with the older generation to the younger generation, we realise that not only do we have a challenge of reading culture, but we would like to reclaim some of the lost values and in particular to see ways in which we can have intergenerational conversation and mentorship. One of the significant achievements of the Bill is that ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: participation with the Ministry responsible and other key stakeholders confirmed that this Bill is timely and appropriate and is, therefore, a key achievement and a necessary addition to the kind of services that we have. With those remarks, Hon. Speaker, I support. Thank you. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. At the outset, I would like to indicate that I support Sessional Paper No.2 of 2019 on the National Policy on Gender and Development. I support this because it is clearly a review of the National Policy on Gender and Development that was in place in the year 2000. We are aware that issues that deal with development and particularly, those that seek to ensure that we, as a country, do not in any way exclude anyone on account of their gender need to be reviewed. ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Sessional Paper because in its review, which is very appropriate, it is saying that we need to ensure that we mainstream gender, integrate it in all the planned interventions, look at both regional and global treaties and particularly, look at the Kenya Vision 2030 and very relevant areas such as the Millennium Development Goals 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
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: (MDGs). I am particularly pleased that we are spelling out the involvement of men. Therefore, we would want to build the capacity of not just the institutions, but also of the men, women, boys and girls in our country. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I support this Sessional Paper, one of the things I hope the Committee can consider is monitoring and evaluation which has been identified as a very key area. One of the challenges that we have experienced is that, as we talk about gender, precisely because of the miscommunication and misunderstanding, there has been a lot of drawbacks. We have seen an increasing number of gender based violence despite there being legislation in that regard and we have seen many cases where young boys seem to think that they are not part of the programme and, therefore, they ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, as I support, I would like to urge the Committee to consider an area we have not paid attention to; that is, the use of indigenous knowledge to understand ways of enabling young girls and young boys to grow and know that there is a functional placement. We are not just talking about rights, but we are also talking about responsibilities. In a way, when we talk about the human rights of women, we need to ask ourselves who has the responsibility of meeting them and when we talk about human rights of women, we remember that there are ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I support this, but as the policy says, we need to have disaggregation of data. As we talk about gender, we do not allow it to be a discussion that becomes much generalised, but we begin to use data and see clear implementation at the family level, at the work place and in all the areas, specifically that enable us to understand it. We have the Land Act, 2012 and many other pieces of legislation. When we look at the legislations on one hand and on the other we look at the practice, we really are in ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: As I support this Sessional Paper, I appeal to the Committee that there is a sense in which we are doing great in getting statements and policies, but we need to ensure that there is, as this policy indicates, a kind of balance between the policy statement and practice. I do not see any other way that we would get this done, other than through a very effective monitoring and evaluation that shows us the Acts and legislations like the Land Act and where we are. This can be done through disaggregation of data. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I support, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
