• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The import of this is to bring the definition of “special interest groups” as provided for under Article 100 of the Constitution, which includes women, persons with disabilities, youth, ethnic and other minorities and marginalised communities. A couple of provisions in the Bill presented difficulties because we had the same kind of debate in our meetings. Secondly, those who were supposed to benefit from the provisions are the ones who left. The ones who are here are the ones who have continued hogging for everything. They are still doing the same thing. While we still have some gains through this ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, before I move, let me remind the good professor that the number of people she was nominated to represent do not matter. She has only one vote. I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Representation of Special Interest Groups Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.52 of 2019) and its approval thereof with amendments. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said Report. I ask Hon. Anthony Oluoch to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to speak on this Report. I have a little experience of how Uwezo Fund came about. This was one of our campaign strategies with Hon. Musalia Mudavadi during the 2013 General Election. We thought we would win in the first round and the money that had been kept aside for the re-run would be used to do something similar. The only difference would be that we would have put structures in place. That is why the Uwezo Fund is suffering. It is good to mention this because once it is in the Hansard, ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: this House is one of the ways of popularising the Funds. Some of us disagreed with the recommendations that were made by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There was a clear intention to merge those Funds. How I wish this Committee could come up with the same kind of a recommendation to merge the Uwezo Fund with the Women Enterprise Fund. That is because the Uwezo Fund was created with no structures. To think that we are going to create the structures and provide staff would be over-stretching ourselves. We should still go along with the idea of merging the two so that the Uwezo Fund can benefit our constituents like the Women Enterprise Fund has done. My constituency may be among the 19 constituencies that have ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if that money was stolen with the help of those who were in office before me, it is only fair that they are also arraigned in court quickly because it does not matter what they thought. Whether they thought it was a political gift or not, the fact remains that the money was stolen. I hope we can see some people in court as quickly as possible. I have raised this issue with the Uwezo Fund offices here in Nairobi. I have tried it on the ground and I can tell you that we are really ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Having said that, I think, as a House, we need to merge those Funds. The way they are scattered, when we look at the global picture, we need to quickly bring them together and get them managed like Women Enterprise Fund. I have a lady called Nelly Kiptoo, a wonderful lady who grew up with the father and is doing so well. She is a household name in my constituency. I wish others would learn from her. view
