• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The first pillar is that of child survival. It calls for provision of ante-natal care, safe motherhood, immunisation, balanced nutrition, safe drinking water, sanitation and management of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. Provision of quality health has so much in it. We are talking about quality services in the health sector. We are aware that the health sector is a function that is devolved. Already we have serious problems with hospitals across the country. When we talk about provision of quality health, we are talking about accessibility. Are the services accessible? We are also talking of affordability. You may access ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Reliability of the services is another challenge that we need to look at. Are the services consistent with what is expected or are they predictable so that we are able to reproduce them each time we get a different patient? These are areas we need to critically look at. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The second pillar is child development. This entails physical, social, emotional, mental and moral development of the child. It is the total development of the child across the board. We want to create an enabling and conducive environment for learning so that in the process of learning, whether formal or informal, the environment must be conducive. We are aware that Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) is also a devolved function in the education sector. It is what prepares the workforce of the future. Unless it is done properly and facilities are provided ---Most ECDE buildings which were started in the ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The third pillar is child protection. Every child has a right to be protected from any form of harm that may affect their growth and development. This needs protection against drug abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation and neglect. These also need to be looked at very critically. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Last, is the child participation pillar. We need to give children the right to participate in issues that affect their lives. They need to make decisions on their future. We need to empower them through the process of participating in decision making. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Member for Kibra is interrupting me. He was a hero of all sorts for those who knew him well. It is worth noting that in this House, probably only three Members had the opportunity to meet him and those are Dr. Oburu; Hon. Olago Aluoch, who I recall was his councillor at the advent of multi-partyism when they were being persecuted; and probably the Chairman of my Committee, Hon. Kamanda. The late Dennis was an attraction, not only to Kenya but to Africa. That is why even in marriage, he had a hand from the United States of America ... view
