I know the importance of sports and I have tried to support it in the little way I can using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). I have seen the passion and the results.

It has ... view

• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It was going to be a crime if I did not speak on this one. I rise to support the Motion because I come from a community that practices this tradition. I hope that many of my voters are listening and watching. In no uncertain terms this is one of the cultural practices that must and should end like yesterday. FGM has denied our girls their right to a complete life, education and self-actualisation in all areas. FGM tradition has been used to subdue, oppress and intimidate women. The reason why girls from most ... view

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I saw the media carry out stories to do with age of these nominees. Actually, the ages of all these nominees are between 49 and 62 years. There is no age required for one to be appointed Ambassador or High Commissioner because even if you retire, the appointing authority 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
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: can appoint you on contract basis to serve as High Commissioner or Ambassador. These nominees are well experienced. In fact, they all have over 20 years’ experience in Public Service. As I said, these are serving civil servants. Out of the 14 that we vetted, 11 are career diplomats who are serving in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Each of them has served for over 20 years as a career diplomat. The other three are very senior officers of the disciplined forces. So, they are also civil servants. One thing that we noted as a Committee is that it is ... view

With those few remarks, I beg to move and request Hon. Charles Kilonzo to ... view
