• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me to also join hands with Hon. Atandi in commenting on the Petition about hardship allowances. I urge that we need to take this seriously and review areas recognised as hardship. I come from Mwea Constituency that has some parts which may be classified as more than hardship from the definition I have seen. These areas border Embu County in Mbeere which is under hardship allowance. When some teachers are posted there, they keep asking for transfers. They are suffering because they are in the same eco-system yet, they are not considered for hardship allowance. I support ... view

• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. By passing this Bill, we will be spurring development in all the areas in our country and not just the cities that we have. Currently, the policies that are in place put a lot of focus on the existing cities. We know that we have the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which carries out development in various urban areas, but with a lot of concentration on the existing cities. By passing this Bill, we will see a number of other areas developing in terms of municipalities and cities. Overall, ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: with a population of under 50,000 people and yet mine has a population of 200,000 people, I feel that something should be done. When we create such funds, they should be distributed equitably. Fairness in distribution of the funds should be seen. As we congratulate the Senate for coming up with this Bill, we want to urge them to be more proactive when it comes to dealing with Bills that come from this House. I am particularly interested in a Bill on irrigation that was passed in this House some months ago. That Bill is still sitting in the Senate ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I have no issue with that. view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion by our colleague, Hon. Jessica Mbalu. When we talk about trauma, we all think about some physical sickness or look at it in terms of physical appearance. But at the outset, I want to say that trauma is about the heart and mind. So, when we take victims to hospitals and assume that they will be able to go back to their normal lives, we are lying to ourselves. Gender violence and other violence including terror attacks, injuries or crime cause a ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to fully support the intention of this Motion with full recognition that we as a country need to take care of our brothers and sisters who are blessed differently; those who have different abilities. Having done so, I am lost on this Motion because I am wondering whether we are urging the Government to implement the existing policy and Act or we are bringing in a new thing. When I read the text of this Motion, I realise that the Mover recognises that there is a policy and that, that policy is ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I need your guidance. We have existing policy and an Act on this particular matter. Is it that the Government has not been able to implement it? What is it that is not there that we need this House to then urge the Government to do? view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion that has been proposed by Hon. Gideon and amended by Hon. Ng’eno. As I do so, I would like to correct my colleague, the Member for Nyando. The Jubilee Government did not just talk about stadia in each of the counties, they are doing it. I am sure he is aware that the Jubilee Government is already doing that. In supporting this Motion, I also take note that we have passed so many other Motions in the past relating to sports. I hope the Committee on Implementation ... view
