• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: forward. Some of these promises cannot be done during a political campaign period. They will need to be done and carried from the books that may have been prepared by the current Government Therefore, useful work needs to be done in this country, but we have had very useful lessons from such mistakes that we have seen from these dams. Kenyans will never be satisfied, even as we continue implementing these projects, we need to see faces in court who are suffering because of the damage they have caused to our reputation and even the loss of money. view

• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I want to thank the Committee, especially Mheshimiwa Gedi, who seems to have done a commendable job this afternoon. Everybody is full of praise for her. I think she is also campaigning for that seat and she seems to have good support. Hon. Oundo on the other side certainly holds a different view, which can be improved. These Regulations are actually in response to Article 227 of the Constitution. That Article of the Constitution requires that we use public resources effectively and in ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: procedure. Hon. Nduati alluded to this, though I do not agree with many of the other statements that he made, including the argument that our young people should not go to TVET. He was really a prophet of doom this afternoon. We cannot come to Bunge and we all conspire to pass laws that are against our people. We come to represent the people. I do not think quite a bit of what he said is accurate. In Ndaragwa, the youth are keen to join TVET. We are actually waiting for it to be opened. We have huge numbers of ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill from the Senate. We must thank the Senators for coming up with the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill (Senate Bill No.17 of 2018). view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: From the outset, I think it is important to commend the Government. This is because it has continued to perfect the cash transfer system that benefits those a little advanced in age in our country. One of the ways of checking or establishing how civilised a country is, is by looking at how it takes care of the aged. Whenever you see an old person, it is good to remember that at one time he or she was young and contributed to the welfare of this country. We are where we are as a country because of their contributions. The ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is important for us to do our best and take care of the old. In my constituency, I can say that virtually every family was involved in the freedom fighting movement. They were the MauMau fighters and those who are still alive are over 100 years old. Two weeks ago, I visited a lady in a place called Pesi. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know you come from my neighbourhood. So, when I mention Pesi you know lower and upper Pesi. This lady is 102 years old and still stands upright. She has never worn shoes in her life. ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Government for attending to the plight of such ladies. Yesterday, the Deputy County Commissioner and everybody in my constituency went round looking for such older persons. I am sure they will now receive the attention they deserve at their age. This is just one case. We have many older persons both men and women or wazee na akina mama who are still not in the programme. They are not benefiting from the cash transfer meant for them. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I want to commend the Government because it is trying yet it lacks adequate resources. His Excellency the President is greatly concerned about this issue. I know the Government will continue reaching many older persons. But more work needs to be done and more money set aside so that many older persons can be brought within the bracket. As we do so, it is important to see what other countries are doing. They are not just giving money to the elderly but also to the caregivers. This is because you need to move out of employment to take care of ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is also good to interest our young people into the caregiving career. Like Dr. Nyikal has said, we will have a huge population of old people who need to be cared for. But we do not have many young people interested in the caregiving career. It is a well-paying and good career. I want to encourage many of them to take it up. While establishing the age of our old people, it is good to remember where we are coming from. Some of them may have reduced their age in their Identity Cards (ID). But they are older than ... view
