• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also want to make basic education accessible to all citizens in this country. We need to task both the national and the county governments to make basic education accessible in all corners of this country, whether there are roads or not, or whether they can pay the small amount of money they are supposed to pay or not. We want to make sure that basic education is accessed by every child including those who have no money. The children of the poor, the pastoralists and labourers should access basic education where they live. For those ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Basic education is a foundational right that each one of us needs to have. When you lay a good foundation for a child, the child grows in an environment that enables him or her to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: continue advancing in education. That is why we must provide all learning materials, so that children can get basic education wherever they are. The reason some students fail in their final examination is because they do not get the right foundation, which starts from the Early Childhood Development Education (ECDEs). We need to build good academic foundation for our children at an early age, so that when they grow up and reach the level of doing their final examinations, they can do it with confidence because their foundation is good. Some people forge certificates because they missed a good foundation. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was coming to that point, but I wanted to first give the importance of basic education in this country. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On the girl-child, especially the pastoralists, this is the class of people that we need to motivate to get education because some families have girls only. Such a law will protect them to be good citizens and leaders in this country. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Kenya is one of the countries where the gender issue is lacking. If you go to some countries, women are the top cream. Why? Because the countries have spent a lot of time to give education and sponsorship to the girl-child. We also need to make some guidelines that can favour the girl-child. Although we allow competition between boys and girls, somehow, the girl- child is weak. That is why in the political arena, you will discover that ladies are not as strong as men. This is not because of masculinity, but because of financial status or movement. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: As we think about the girl-child, we should also think about what comes next after education. We need to motivate them. We need to give them basic education. We also need to give them positions in society so that they can become relevant. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Basic education should be compulsory for the girl-child. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, I want to say that I am shocked that we, as leaders and people’s representatives, have rejected the Senate’s Amendment to the Division of Revenue Bill to increase the counties allocation just because of the few governors that are misusing money. We are torturing our people. Our people need money. If there is a governor who is corrupt, we must jail him. We should not punish people. We should not refuse to give resources to people just because of a few ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: them recommend NPRs to county governments so that they can get some pay. This will enable them to work even harder. We have some security camps that we have built using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) money for instance Kang’irisae AP Camp. We built it four years ago and to date, we do not have a single Administration Police officer in that camp. We are, therefore, challenging the CS in charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government to ensure that we have soldiers in those houses other than using resources of the public to build a facility ... view
