• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Senior officers are very polite in this Parliament. They are very good people to deal with. The higher you go, the politer and nicer the people are. But somehow, if you move in the opposite direction, it is completely different. They need to be treated with extra special care and as said, sometimes you have to enter into some sub-contracts that are really unnecessary. I really hope that we will get a service charter that affects all the people from down going up. It will improve our productivity, I can guarantee that. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, we have a gym with limited space. It does a pretty good job offering a wide range of services. I hope when we move to the new structure, it will be expanded, and in that regard, will have science-driven management. We should expand our learning, if we have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: this kind of conditional facilities, on what you should be doing or not doing. I am sure by retraining and retooling, we can do that, but we also have to bring people who are trained in that respect from the market. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: A vibrant sports facility is extremely important for the health of Members who sit down for long hours while in this House. It seems like this Report has taken five months from the time the Committee came back for it to be presented to the House. That is extremely long. If it will take another year for the Committee to begin to think about what to do, that would have been a waste, in my view. I hope beyond the recommendations, they can be asked to provide an action plan that management can adopt so that we begin to see ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I conclude by saying that the issue of facilitating people with disability should be taken seriously and urgently. I know it is against the law to discriminate. I just do not remember which law it is, but it is a law that has been around for a long time. Everybody should be able to access every place in this institution. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Report. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: First, I highly commend Hon. Jessica Mbalu for bringing this Motion before the House. It is presumed that most of the violence is by men on women, although there are exceptions to it. If you think about post-trauma centres - I am thinking about rescue centres for women, even though there may be the old guy who has run away because the wife has been teaching him a lesson many times. Many of our cultures, because of their strong patriarchal nature, men may not show up after they have been beaten by women. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: It is going to be largely gender biased with the victims being women. Some of the actions that are done against women such as sexual violence, physical and verbal violence are really horrible and are put under the rug on grounds that it is cultural. If for, example, you get a case of rape of an underage child and the parents accept a goat or a cow or some sort of compensation, it gets settled. Much worse still, the victim is sent to get married to the oppressor. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: These are serious violations of human rights which are condemned under our Constitution and are things that we should look at under great disfavour. We cannot move forward as a society, if we tolerate this kind of defiance and aggression in society of one set of citizens against another. I strongly support not only the physical construction of a centre but, more importantly, the acceptance by the police, the judicial system and administration that this is wrong. We should punish administrators and police who make jokes of those kinds of things. As they say, at times, after a woman has ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: That must be punished. I would like to see beyond the physical infrastructure, a big effort to retrain and increase awareness in great detail as per what it is that tortures women beyond the physical, and how they can refrain from making such situations worse. We have had a situation even in this city where it is alleged that, in one of our leading schools in Nairobi, teachers insist that the girls have a shower instead of taking them straight away to the women’s hospital, so that they can have DNA test done. That is collusion in crime and it ... view
