• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to support this Motion. I wish to thank the Mover, Hon. Muchira, for bringing it up. Recruitment in this country has been taken lightly and yet, this is a group that is at its very prime stage. We recruit so many; they go for training for six months, just to come out, sometimes… view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I wanted to say that the group we recruit into the NYS and train for six months, go for this training with a lot of enthusiasm. They go there hoping that they will make it in their lives. They come out somehow confused because when they come out after six months, they start coming to us to look for jobs after being trained and a lot of money being spent. As a country, we need to take advantage of this group of young men and women who, when they report to the training centres, can be given an opportunity to ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: funds, but also give an opportunity to have young men who will have interest in joining the forces from the word go. When we recruit into the Kenya Police Service, the Kenya Army and the others, we get people who are, sometimes, simply looking for jobs and not people who have interest in serving in those areas.

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As I do so, I take note that this Motion is simply bringing this House into compliance with the Constitution. I also want to thank partners who came together to develop the current school feeding programme that links the feeding programme to the local small-scale farmers. I want to agree with the Member who has just talked. Sometimes, we create more disparity by focusing on some of the historically marginalised areas. I appreciate that some of those areas require much more attention. But even as we do so, ... view

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: the schools in a subsidised manner. We also have things like greenhouses. The Government can support most of these schools to build greenhouses, which they can use to grow vegetables and other things that can enhance nutrition, so that children in some of these marginalised areas or poor areas like where I come from can enjoy a meal just like any other person who is out there from a rich family. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: If you visit children during lunch hour, especially where they carry food, you notice that some young children go to the field when others are eating simply because they do not carry anything. Their families cannot afford any meal for them as they go to school. Therefore, this school feeding programme will bring some equity to the children.

I also want to thank the sub-committee Chair who did a commendable job of listening to the people of Mwea and to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
