• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support this Bill. I want to emphasise the need and importance of education. It is very important for us to lay strong and firm foundation from the ECDE classes. If we do not do that, the children will go to primary schools and other institutions of higher learning, but they will not get a proper foundation for education. So, it is very important, as we deal with this issue, to emphasise the importance of making sure that when a child goes to an ECDE centre, he gets the right standard of education ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Many ECDE centres in our rural areas have buildings which are in deplorable conditions. Although this function has been devolved to county governments, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should intervene. Many ECDE centres have no structures and the children learn under trees. Besides that, if there are people who have been neglected and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: forgotten in this country, they are the ECDE teachers. The House will agree with me that if there is a person who requires to be paid well or his remuneration considered, it is the ECDE teacher. They do a lot of work to nurture the children, so that they can grow up as good students. If their welfare is not looked into, a majority of them will be demoralised. There are some areas in this country where teachers are not paid in time. You will find that they have salary arrears of, say, six months. Those teachers, even if they ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am grateful. I was almost giving up. I came here very early in the morning. I have been waiting all along but, at long last, you have “caught my eye”. I wish to support this Bill with some few comments. If you look at where we have come from as a nation, we were a British colony. Although we gained independence, we still have a lot to learn from them. We have gained much, but we still have a lot to learn from them. If we can look at this issue boldly, those ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill and congratulate my brother, Aghostinho Neto. This Bill is going to supplement Government’s efforts in many areas where it would like to assist Wananchi, but funding may sometimes be very little. When those NGOs come, they try to help in many areas such as provision of water. Sometimes, they go to an extent of drilling boreholes, building some dams and even chip in during drought. I would caution that as we support, we should set some mechanism to make sure that the source of funding is known ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As we try to find solutions to water crises in our major towns, I hope you will agree with me that the Government spends a lot of money to construct dams and drilling boreholes. It would be much easier to revisit this issue and find a long-lasting solution through our water catchment areas. If our water catchment areas are well managed and protected, we will save a lot of money we use to provide water to wananchi . Water catchment areas are not well protected. Our water catchment areas are ... view

• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill. There are some issues which have been mentioned by various Members and I do not want to dwell on them such as education, experience and integrity. There are some areas I would like to highlight. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: This country is blessed with people with good brains and who are well educated. The youth are frustrated and tend to go abroad to look for employment. It is high time the county governments and national Government thought twice about the idea of recycling spent forces. It is very embarrassing to find the youth loitering around looking for employment and yet, there is somebody somewhere who is a grandmother or grandfather of over 60 years and is still being retained in a particular job because of experience. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, the youth give up and we know the consequences. The Government, when it is desperately in need of experts in specific fields, goes shopping around the world looking for the best brain and the person they end up getting is a Kenyan. I know quite a number of people who have been imported to give services to their beloved country. It is high time the county governments and national Government used the youth in their prime age other than wasting them. We have spent a lot of money in educating our youth, but that money is going to waste. ... view
