• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: It is also important to mention that we have the devolved units, we are happy and we support them. But I think it is always important to say that devolution does not exist and it will not exist because we have the Senate. It is there because, for you to do anything on devolution, there must be a referendum. So, the persons who protect devolution are not Senators. That is a complete misinformation and a misplaced statement. Senate is a flower team that will remain for a while. Even when I join it, I will also be part of that ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I was attending a burial on Tuesday in my place and the Governor…I do not want to say much about my governor because we have quarrels in my county. He had given coffins, and one of the coffins gave in. You can imagine the mess that we were in when a coffin was giving in as we were seated there. Even the quality of the coffin has nothing to do with the kind of money that was mentioned. That is the same thing that is happening with the projects. The kinds of projects that are being implemented are scary. Even ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The duplication rate is so scary. You will find a whole team of county government coming to piggyback on the projects that are being done by NG-CDF. We need to come up with ways to avoid that level of duplication because it does not help at all. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to mention something about the fact that projects at the constituency level are supposed to be conceived by the people themselves, and acted upon by the committees. What worries me is this: How is it that we have this thing they are calling Information Technology (IT) hubs? In my constituency, we have written back to say that there may be a need, but not for the four hubs. But they are being lumped on us. I wish Hon. Maoka Maore was here. However, I think his committee needs to be awake to hear what we are saying. ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. At the outset, let me start by saying that if you notice, this is the third Motion that we are discussing which was introduced in the House by our able women leaders. It underlines the importance of having women in leadership positions, including this House. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Motion before this deals with establishment of special needs units in every primary and secondary school that was introduced by Hon. Mishi Juma Mboko. Before that, we had another Motion which was moved by the Member for Kibwezi East which deals with establishment of trauma care centres for the victims of gender-based violence. These are areas that men are concerned with, but they do not come on top of their heads when they are talking about issues that affect our people. If you go through the Motions, you find that women leaders introduce issues relating to the economy like ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Having said that, it is important to note that there are four issues that have been highlighted in the Motion. One, four deliveries in every 1,000 result in this medical condition that is traumatising. We have 50,000 to 100,000 new cases of this condition every year. We have been told that 7.5 per cent of our patients suffer from the same condition. I mentioned those percentages because they are not small but worrying. It is of concern that as a nation, we have not given this issue the attention and serious that it deserves. I want to thank the Member ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Like the other Members have said, this is an issue that affects every corner of this country. I come from Nyandarua County, which is in the Central Region of this country. A mention of Central Region gives many people the false impression that communities in that area have developed beyond some basic needs. Nyandarua is one such area that requires the attention of the Government when this proposal comes to fruition. We need specialised persons to handle women while delivering, or persons who may have gone through gender-based violence. When we have specialised medical persons in rural areas, many of ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have two things. One is that this institution is a product of the 2010 Constitution. Listening to the very many contributions that were made by Members on the Floor, it is clear that many of us do not understand the role of IPOA. The new commissioners must undertake civic education so that people can understand what they have been put in office to do. Secondly, Section 4 requires that they conduct their work impartially. Even as they take on the police, they should not intimidate them. They must be impartial. Thank you. view
