• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The reason I am passionate about this is because it affects me directly. I am not married and I am going to marry. We have to legislate on something. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the issue here is that we have to respect, not even the marriage itself, but even the consent to marry, so that if somebody was to stop a marriage, there must be very serious grounds. Nobody can just come to the church and say “I have this man’s child” or something like that and then the marriage stops. We have witnessed marriages stopped in such circumstances for as long as two or three years. So, I support this particular amendment, knowing very well that marriages have to be protected. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion because there are pertinent issues that the Chairman of this particular Committee looked at. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The provision that puts money into youth polytechnics in the areas where we come from is very important. As we all know, we have many other institutions of learning. Those learners who leave Standard Eight but who do not make it to secondary school and those who leave Form Four but fail to make it to middle-level colleges are saved by the youth polytechnics. Once upon a time, I was a product of a polytechnic where I studied mechanics. It was just because I was so ambitious that I moved to other areas. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: 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
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, polytechnics are very important institutions for our youth. They accommodate people who may have problems in the society. Giving this money to the constituencies is one way of ensuring that every constituency benefits. Although the Constitution provides that polytechnics are under the counties, to date there is no single polytechnic that has been looked after by any county. I want to thank the Chairman; stating that this money will go directly to the constituencies is an assurance that the money will be used to elevate the already existing youth polytechnics or in construction of new polytechnics. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue of Level 5 Hospitals, I would like to urge the Chairman that when we look at the next Budget, we consider these facilities. We have only eight Level 5 Hospitals in the country. There are many counties, including Narok and Bomet counties, which do not have Level 5 Hospitals. Allocating money to Level 5 Hospitals alone means that only a few counties will benefit. We need to build more Level 5 Hospitals, so that every county can have one such institution. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also need to create Level 4 Hospitals in every constituency, so that Kenyans across the country can be served adequately. I am speaking on this matter knowing very well that I come from a constituency where we do not have even a health centre. I do not have a sub-district hospital. I only have dispensaries. Even talking about free maternity services, I do not have a maternity wing anywhere in my constituency, whereas people in other constituencies enjoy these services. Therefore, we need to have at least a Level 5 Hospital in every constituency, so ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I would also like to speak on the matter of the Kshs5 million meant for the centres of excellence. The money that was initially provided when the current President was the Minister for Finance helped to create centres of excellence in our schools. I believe that the money that has been provided now will help us elevate schools in our counties to new status. view
