• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the vetting of the magistrates had stalled for quite a long time and yet we have been talking about reforms in the Judiciary. This is the time we need to make it a reality. What stalled that process was lack of the foreign judges as per the recommendations of the magistrates. We looked into the qualifications and reputation of these judges and realized that they fit the bill. We believe that this House will recommend these judges so that we can have work rolling and in the next few days we have a reformed Judiciary. ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion and thank the Mover for donating two minutes to me. I think this Motion is very dear to most of us. This is because we believe in education to everybody and not only to a few. If you look at this Motion, you will find that it talks about creating schools which could help the pupils from ASAL areas. I am one of the people who come from those areas and I know how students find it hard to even attend school. I also know how parents find ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I think this Motion is very timely and it is important to this country especially to those children who face very many problems. One of the problems which children from these areas face is failure to attend school due to lack of schools, lack of fees or early marriages which are practices by most of the people. Another problem is the female genital mutilation which is practised by most of the people who come from these areas. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I believe that if we have boarding schools for those children, we will save many children who would have gone to waste. This is especially girls whom we know would be married off because of lack of fees. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Because parents from these areas do not have other sources of income, some of them burn charcoal, sell charcoal or firewood to get fees to pay for these children. We do not only need to have these schools in place but we also need to set aside money so that we can save the parents the agony of looking for fees to cater for these children. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I rise to support this Motion and thank the Mover because this is a very timely Motion, it is very important and it is dear to all of us who like the girl-child to pursue education. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I stand to support the Motion, especially because it touches majorly on an area which is very dear to all of us in this country. I also support the Motion as amended majorly because the Mover had indicated quite a number of clinical officers and nurses, but the amendment by Hon. Sang’ has created a situation where we can have additional nurses and clinical officers. As I speak, in many parts of this country, there is a huge shortage of medical personnel. There is a shortage of nurses, ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most health centres are poorly staffed. Many health facilities have less than one clinical officer and in some areas, especially a case of my constituency, we have only five trained clinical officers who are not employed. So, you realise this is a crisis that needs to be seriously looked into by the Government. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, we also need to have additional health facilities so that when we are looking at how much money we are putting in the counties, and especially on the amendment by Hon. Sang, we need to have enough resources. Those resources will not only cater for the recruitment and employment of those health nurses or clinical officers, but we should also look at how we equip those facilities so that the facilities that we have in those particular constituencies are properly equipped. Some of them are not functioning because they are not equipped. Some of them are functioning but do ... view
