• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: As we do our politics, maybe some of the contractors want to sponsor me for even fuel for a day. They can also sponsor a friend, colleague, constituency mate, Member of Parliament or Member of the County Assembly (MCA). So, it is good for the country to have some kind of circulation of finances. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me this moment to contribute. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. I thank the Committee for noting the rush that the IEBC is trying to do while they had five years to prepare themselves. Some of the things which were sneaked in the last minute are normally not quite okay. They have a hidden agenda. Therefore, I support what the Committee has recommended. There are so many grey areas that needed to be addressed, especially in counting of votes. Presiding officers normally count votes in a hurry; instead of saying one, two, three, they should show a vote to everyone so that they ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Masinga, WDM-K): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to be able to air my views on this Bill. I want to thank our colleague hon. Owino for this Bill. It is an important Bill. The Community Health Workers Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 30 of 2020) seeks to establish a council for the community health workers.

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: country has few health workers, especially doctors. The health workers come in handy because they know every home and many people. If they are called upon to help, they are available for no fee. They are not complicated. They will not say they do not have fuel or money, they will help the community that they are trained to help. Therefore, the council that is proposed in the Bill will be important. It will be doing periodic trainings of community health workers, registering and licensing them like any other practitioners. They will also feel that they are professionals and not ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to air my views on the history of Kenya’s Parliament. History is very important because it tells us how we have developed from time immemorial up to now. It informs future generations of where we have come from. The history of Kenya’s Parliament should be written so that people who will come to this Parliament in future – in 10 to 20 years – will read and know when Parliament started, who were the Speakers, the clerks and the Members of Parliament. They will know how the debates in ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Committee for the findings that it was not possible to amalgamate these Funds together and put them in the biashara bag. The reason is that, looking at my constituency, the ladies The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: who sell tomatoes and vegetables have no bank accounts. They borrow the money and straight away run to the market to buy their products so that they can sell. However, when you put them in a bank, we know the bureaucracy in banks. You are told to bring registration certificates and practising licenses yet the people who are meant to benefit from these Funds do not have those things. So, we will have killed the whole idea of helping the mama mboga who sells vegetables at a kiosk and market stall. I think we are going back to where we ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: If we take this money back to banks, we will have killed them and they will have nothing to do. Even markets that have been built by the NG-CDF will have to be closed because those women rely on the funds. For example, with the Uwezo Fund, some groups comprising of 10 women get Kshs100,000, which they share among themselves and each woman trades on her own. So, there is in no way they will get the money to repay the loans. This needs to be properly structured so that there are regulations and controls for the money to be ... view
