Joyce was born in abject poverty. In 2012, she suspended her PhD studies to concentrate. In 1985-1996 she participated in the translation of the bible to Turkana language. Previously, Joyce worked with the United Nations Children and Oxfam Kenya and was actively involved with the community. She puts education empowerment on top of her list in her quest to transform Turkana County. She also believes that without security, there cannot be any development and therefore has been very vocal on issues of security in her parliamentary debates.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just wondering whether it is really in order for the member to use words that we cannot understand. We really do not know whether they are in good or bad faith. He has to explain some of these things.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion because the provision is within an existing law, which is the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012. Secondly, our national carrier has been ailing for the last three years. It has experienced continuous losses in billions. I am also following very keenly what is going on in the sector. I am happy the CS, Mr. Macharia, is giving us hope with the new strategies of turning around the industry. Therefore, it is fair to support this effort of increasing the flights or giving additional flights to our carriers. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise to support this Bill, which gives the county legislative assemblies the freedom to discuss issues without fear. The Bill protects them from being sued as they discharge their duties. It provides them with the necessary immunity. This Bill empowers the Committee on Powers and Privileges of the county assemblies to deal with issues of breaching of privileges, disciplinary issues, and independence of the county assembly leaderships. There have been many cases in the county assemblies where MCA have either verbally or physically abused each other within the ...

I keep asking myself whether the MCAs really know and appreciate the weight of the powers that they have. They have subjected themselves to intimidation and being compromised by the Executive. They have become complacent in terms of making decisions and are influenced by the Executive. This Bill will help maintain the discipline that is required of MCAs.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate Hon. Rose Nyamunga for this very important Motion. Fishing is very important in terms of the global economy and it is an earner for our national economy. It is a source of livelihood and employment for our young people and the community at large. We have adequate data on fishing in Kenya, that is, in Lake Victoria, Lake Turkana and other water bodies within the country. This adequate information can inform the establishment of fish processing plants, coolants and training centres. It can also support introduction of viable species ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion knowing the importance of the NGCDF in Kenya, particularly in the rural areas. Delay in approval of these committee members is tantamount to denying the citizens of Kenya their right to services. We know the impact that the NGCDF has had on the lives of Kenyans. It has been a cross-sectoral impact. It has touched the lives of many Kenyans, looking at water projects, health, security and bursaries. Thousands of students, if not millions, across the country have gone through NGCDF to attain higher levels of education. It ...
