• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Development Fund Committee. These things can be deliberated. We are also requesting that you organize a Kamukunji for us. You are the head of this arm of the Government and you have a responsibility. I am requesting you to organise a Kamukunji for us to air our issues, given the fact that this is not the place to do it. You are a serious leader in this Republic and you can make things happen, if you want. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support this Bill because it is very helpful. This is because it considers issues of early childhood The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: education. It is during childhood when we should mould our children. It is also important that we are talking about developing a common curriculum for the ECDE in this country. The question of tribalism and ethnicity is a challenge to this Republic. I believe if we develop the values as described in this Bill, and if we follow the spirit of the law with regard to values within our constitutional framework, we will develop a curriculum for early childhood education. The curriculum should be tailored to take into consideration national values. This will help us teach our children what is ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue is that partnership between county governments and the TSC is important. This will allow the TSC to have an opportunity to support or be involved in hiring teachers. That can avoid incidences of lack of transparency and regulation of teachers because TSC is the one given the mandate to manage teachers. With this, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the County Early Childhood Education Bill. This is a good Bill. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to thank Hon. Ichung’wah for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. We have heard about the issue of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The NHIF is a very important parastatal dealing with the health of the people of Kenya. However, the challenge that we have with this parastatal is that when they pay money in respect of people who were hospitalised, they do not consider the heavy expenses incurred by in-patients. For example, if an in-patient had a surgery, they do not pay the expenses relating to ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Policy. It is important as it looks at children’s issues. If I can quote from this Sessional Paper, its aim is to facilitate enjoyment of the quality of life of the children of this Republic. That is an important right within our own Constitution. It also promotes the health of our children. That is very important. A society that does not look after its children and the young is one that is dying. This Policy in particular is very important considering the fact that Kenya has a young population. It is ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: society that does not take care of itself. It is also worrying to realise that out of our total population, there are about 2.6 million children who are orphaned which means that they are in dire need. I would like to ask this House to appropriate more resources to the vulnerable children. This is to ensure that children who do not have the care of both parents can be properly supported by the Government. Education of children is also enshrined in our Constitution. Children are entitled to quality care and education. On accessibility, despite the fact that we have free ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: to take care of children. With those many remarks, I support this Policy. I believe it will go a long way in bringing coherence in the care for our children. view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Motion, which is very important. It gives a huge opportunity to Kenya. view
