• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this extremely important and timely Bill by Hon. Wangari Martha. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I have noted while reading through the Bill that the Member has done some good research and is making some very good proposals. As we understand in this country, we have a crisis of children who do not belong to any formal family ending up being institutionalised. The institutionalisation of children in this country should be seen as a contributing factor to some of the social ills we see today. A human being was made to belong to a family unit. A proper full complete and whole human being is supposed to be accorded love and worth of fellowship in ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: When we think about adoption it offers this opportunity to a child who does not belong to a nuclear family. Kenyans are also realising that when we institutionalise some of these children they end up not being brought up the way we would like our society to raise its children. So, there is a big buying into this whole idea of adopting children into families that already exist. As such I see this Bill as very timely. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Going into the details of the Bill, I realise the provisions given by the Hon. Member in Clause 29A (1)(a) and she is suggesting that: “(a) the employee shall be entitled to three consecutive months pre-adoption leave with full pay from the date of the placement of the child”.

With that, I believe that this is an amazing Bill. It is timely and I do support Hon. Martha Wangari for this amazing Bill with that small amendment on bringing parity between the two genders who shall be adopting children. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In agreement with the Report, I second. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for the opportunity. I rise to support that if this allocation were to be removed as it had been suggested earlier, it would affect a number of projects that are quite dear to me. I think they should also be dear to Members of this Parliament. One of the biggest issues is the fact that we are talking about the Big Four Agenda. One of the things in the Big Four Agenda is manufacturing, but we have come to think of manufacturing as the making of solid goods only. When you think about it, ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when you gave me the opportunity, I presumed that is the one. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I will not anticipate further. view
