• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: of the Constitution. It has come at the right time when we have been talking about gender equality. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill mentions women as being under the special interest groups. It is high time women are left to compete freely with men in whatever activities they engage in. We should realise that the population of women in Kenya is very high. It may be more than 50 per cent. They should be allowed to campaign or compete freely with men and find their way out like it is happening now. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to comment a little on the spending limits which have been proposed in the Bill. It may not be easy to control the spending limits in a campaign trail and to carry out a proper audit to determine whether somebody has used excess funds. If it is not looked at carefully, this can create victimisation by the opponents. As much as it is in the Bill, it should be looked at again to avoid victimisation. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to mention a little on the use of bad language which is common. We still hear it even today. If it is not looked into properly, it might also create victimisation. Something should be brought in to make sure that anybody who uses bad language is properly identified to avoid victimisation. This Bill is important. It covers seven laws which were left hanging for some time. I believe the population of Kenya will follow this law very critically and ensure that during campaigns, there is peace in the country. view

• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Report. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I support this Report. Although I would not encourage deforestation of our forests, there are circumstances that contribute to such issues that are presented in this Report. We know very well that we have had a lot of fighting between the two clans mentioned in this Report in Mt. Elgon Forest. Insecurity in Mt. Elgon has been very high because of land and the settlement of squatters. Those squatters have stayed in the forest without any title deeds to the land. So, it is only fair to listen to their cries and give them the opportunity to own land. It ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: So, whatever comes up is obvious that they must be settled. The Government is taking the right direction by requesting Parliament or the National Assembly to give approval for de- gazettement of this portion of land. This will help solve a lot of quarrels that have existed in those areas. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have heard people fighting because of land in those areas view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to also contribute to this important Bill. For a long time, ECD education has not been covered by any Act of Parliament. So, this Bill is very timely. It needs to be passed by this House. There are various areas that this Bill will help Kenyans. The standards will be improved and we will have regulations and rules governing the operations of the ECD centres very well. I thank the Committee for coming up with a very comprehensive Bill that covers all the areas, including infrastructure, health ... view
