• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: the Middle East. All the researches and especially the United Nations Children's Fund, (UNICEF) research has proved that the defects of this cultural practice, is four flagged. It is a health and psychological hazard that leads to early marriages and fall out of education by the young ones who have undergone this practice. The trend in Kenya is that it begins with FGM, then moves to early marriage, leads to fall out of school and continuous illiteracy in those areas. Therefore, this is a cultural practice that needs to be defeated. I stand to support its defeat given that it ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wanted to say that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare had organised a session in Mombasa and most of them have actually gone there. I am sorry that the Chair is not here. So, maybe, it could be moved to the next session. Thank you. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Like what Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker said earlier on, I thank the Chairman for being in the House. Ordinarily, he should have moved out because his Motion is the last one on the Order Paper. This almost proves that age is not a factor because, earlier on, we were speaking about young and old. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I support this particular Report because it tries to protect the police officers. It appeals for the police officers to be protected. It also identifies them as frontline workers alongside other workers. They are at the entry point of all those who come in the system of the cells, prisons, remands and courts. They need to be protected because this is a serious entry point. The Report further seeks to motivate the Police Force. Given that they are frontline workers, let them be motivated by being given an allowance which I support strongly as a person with a background of ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: The Report further gets out of the box to identify a bracket of people who were left out. However, I ask the Chair to use it as a pilot for all other areas because this is exactly what is happening in the entire country. Therefore, it should not be confined to Nairobi and Kajiado counties. I know that when we reported the first cases of Covid-19, those are the areas that were affected. However, this disease is now in the communities or villages where we come from. Therefore, let these policies not only refer and affect the urban centres, but ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: The Report is a tool to seek budgetary allocation from the Government to achieve things that have been recommended, which is very good. I want to emphasize that what needs to be 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: strengthened in this Report is capacity building and education. Be that as it may, Covid-19 is part and parcel of us. It should be treated as part of the life skills that we teach sometimes in schools. It should be taught to the Police Force and other players. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to indicate that this is a Report that has proved that we need to protect our forces by understanding that the frontline workers will always shift; yet the medical practitioners will remain. They will shift to the police and they have now shifted to the ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I thank the Chair for expanding our scope of understanding the frontline workers who need to be protected. They are not only the police, but also teachers. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I support. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had to fight with the Leader of the Minority Party so that the Petition is not interfered with because I was concerned that it was affecting Kakamega Town. The relocation of campuses by the leadership of many universities has been rampant. We lost Ebunangwe Campus, and that affected the economy of that area in a big way. I am sure that the loss of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Campus will affect the area. I support the Petition. view
