• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I also add my voice to what other Hon. Members have contributed. I thank Hon. Otosti for bringing this very important Motion and I support it. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: In this 21st Century, our nation cannot afford to have 49 per cent of the people not connected to internet. So, I stand to support this Motion that at least every constituency should access internet services because it is going to be very important for our youth. It is fast, cheap and has much information that our people can access and our youth can use that opportunity to seek for jobs and so it is a very important Motion. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Our farmers in the rural areas who cannot access information can also access information on production and markets, where they can get markets, how much it costs to sell certain goods and also access information on how to protect their corps and animals. This can also be used even by doctors, education systems and tourism sector because the internet will allow people to be local tourists. They can access various destinations through internet. They can identify sites to visit. This internet should reach all constancies in our nation. This is because our nation cannot leave behind the 49 per cent ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: In the 21st Century we need to grow and develop, therefore, the nation should not leave behind people who do not have access to internet. This is because we need to achieve the Big Four Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We can only achieve this if everybody is able to access cheap and affordable internet to be up to-date with information on the growth of the nation. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I also support this Motion because unfortunately we missed out on the innovation hubs. The Ministry of Information and Communication had a very good idea but it was not laid out well and faced many challenges. That is why it became optional for MPs to have the innovation hubs in their constituencies. Therefore, I ask the Government to assist every constituency in accessing internet because it is a very important tool for the nation. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I stand to support this Motion that every constituency should have access to internet so that our people can be informed and empowered. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was getting disappointed that I will not put my voice in this Bill. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to more than 60 Members that have spoken to this Bill. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: First of all, I would like to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing this Bill that we so need so that we can be able to conform to the two-third gender rule as provided for in Article 81(b) of our Constitution. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Kenya has complied with many constitutional principles and therefore there is no reason not to comply with the two-thirds gender rule. It will not be fair to leave this one behind because other principles have been conformed with. I also want to say that one of the reasons that we need to pass this Bill is, many women have been left behind in development process and in participation in decision-making for a long time and it is time that we passed this Bill so that our women can participate equally as the men. When this Bill is passed even those ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: give an opportunity to the women of this nation, your brothers and sisters to be part of the leadership of this nation and to be part of the development process of this nation. I also want to mention some words which somebody said, that both engines must work in order for a plane to reach its destination. This therefore means that both men and women should play a role in the development of this nation. view
