• 15 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
• 15 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
• 15 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
• 15 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

• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the five minutes. The issue of gender based violence cuts across countries and boundaries. It does not know race, culture or religion. It occurs in all places that we are familiar with like our homes. It happens in schools, workplaces, entertainment centres, detention centres and everywhere that people congregate. In seconding this very important Motion – and I thank the Mover for this wonderful thought – it is important to appreciate that this is a very complex issue. It is an issue that requires professionals to deal with. It is an issue that ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We find that those who are vulnerable are from all forms of gender. We have them in different races, ethnic origins, disability or school status. It does not really matter where you come from. Nobody is immune from this and it does not matter how much money you have. All of us are exposed to this and it is important that these trauma centres are created. Statistics have been shared by the Mover but allow me to just say that the United Nations (UN) Report gives a statistical data that reflects that 35 per cent of women worldwide would have ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Report further tells us that this is followed by women aged between 18 and 49 years making 32 per cent of those who have been victims. Recovery centres are useful for quite a number of reasons which include a comprehensive quality care for survivors of gender based violence, that is, the rape, sexual violence and even sexual exploitation. They also provide medical management of the injuries that have been sustained. They provide treatment to ensure that HIV is not transmitted. We also know that it is possible to get emergency contraceptive pills provided to the victims. There is prevention and ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: (Ndaragwa, JP) view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to table a public petition on behalf of the good people of Ndaragwa, on the de-gazettement of some 300 acres of forest land for the economic development of the people of Ndaragwa and to help in unleashing of the potential of this area. I, Jeremiah Kioni, on behalf of residents of Ndaragwa Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following Petition: THAT one of the principles of land policy as enshrined under Article 60 of the Constitution of Kenya is that land be used and managed in accordance with the principles ... view
