• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: (Bomet (CWR), JP): Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to congratulate the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for bringing this very wonderful Bill, the Community Group Registration Bill (National Assembly Bill No.20 of 2020). view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: This Bill has come at the right time and a number of my colleagues have talked about it. Indeed, we have been undergoing a number of challenges on the issues of giving funds to these groups. Sometimes even the Ministry experiences numerous challenges while trying to effectively respond to the needs of these groups. This is mostly where conflicts, leadership wrangles, misappropriation of group resources and assets have occurred. The unregulated registrations and mismanagement of community groups has led to weak complaints and grievances redress mechanisms. This in some instances has led to exclusion, marginalisation and exploitation of vulnerable members ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The Bill will assist us in terms of curing the registration of the community groups of people living with disabilities, youth groups, women groups and other big groups like CBOs. I also want to thank the Committee for seeing the sense of bringing this Bill that will provide regulations of community groups including the general objects and the appointment and roles of office bearers, who sometimes are a problem in terms of how they operate. Sometimes you give them funds and they go round fighting over the same. This Bill will assist us to resolve these issues, offer dispute resolutions, ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Furthermore, there is also the issue of provision of financial matters relating to community groups. This includes maintenance of records. Sometimes you find an office without proper records and it ends up giving the same group resources again to the extent of disadvantaging others. I do not want to say much, but I thank the Committee for looking into the submissions given by the various stakeholders including the Ministry of Social Welfare, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, the CoG, although they never gave their views, and Non- Governmental Organisations Coordination Board, which also chipped in, in terms ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: This Bill is very important because it will assist us in providing regulatory framework for the registration, management and regulations of community groups in the country. Otherwise, I support. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to ask whether it is in order for the Members of this House... This is an issue that has been brought here, at least, for us to debate and have a solution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, remember the whole country is watching this House. They are waiting for us to give a better solution to the problem at hand. The moment we fight again in this House, we show a bad picture to those people we are trying to… So, is it in order? view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this matter on the issue of the KQ tax exemption. I want to echo the sentiments of a number of colleagues. However, though I am in support of the Committee, I still have a number of reservations as to why they should be exempted. The reason why I am saying this is because though I know the Committee might have done their background check and they are convinced to an extent that they are supposed to be exempted, I want to believe that as ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I must sincerely thank you for giving me this chance. I have really been waiting since morning. I have been here since 9.00 a.m., waiting to contribute to this very important amendment Bill which I know the entire country is waiting for. This is an amendment that has come at a time when the entire country is struggling with a very serious pandemic that has taken the economy down. It has also taken the lives of many Kenyans. We also face a serious challenge. A number of youth have missed employment in various sectors, ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: say that we are moving in the wrong direction. The seat that brought a number of women here is that of a Woman Representative. We want to see those mama mbogas coming to this House using the same seat. Not because you are going for the Governor’s seat or you have been promised a ministerial position then you want to block other women from coming to this House. We cannot. I know a number of us cannot compete with men. Some of us can compete with men. We have a number of ladies who cannot compete with men. The thing ... view
