Dr. Joyce Cherono Laboso

Dr. Laboso, a distinguished scholar can best be described as assertive and confident. She had never thought of being a politician, her debut into politics was unceremonious. The first signals were sent as she eulogized he late sister, Lorna, who had died in a plane crash. A week later elders announced that they had chosen her to fill the vacant Sotik Parliamentary seat. In her two terms she has prioritized development of roads, education, water and electricity within the constituency. She also holds close to heart women issues. Dr. Laboso is the current deputy speaker, National Assembly.

  • 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I also rise to support this Bill. I think we are now getting to the point where we are beginning to realize that we are truly in a devolved system of government. This being the second Budget that we are preparing between the two levels of Government, I want to say that I am quite happy that we changed the Constitution and we now have our devolved units. If you speak to members of countries where devolution has worked, they truly inspire you to see that this is the best decision that we made for this country. Be ... view
  • 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: where it was clear that certain counties have hardly used any of their amounts that were given to them. So, mine is to say that we need to get the counties working very quickly to absorb the funding that they are given and carrying out projects that are going to make a difference to the people. I am looking at the allocation by the Commission on Revenue Allocation. They had allocated up to Kshs279 billion which they said they are basing on the latest financial year but I am wondering whether they took into consideration the provisions of Article 203(3) ... view
  • 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: by TSC and not by counties. That is the most sensitive part of education in a young child and we cannot leave it to the whims of counties. I am not saying that they are not able, but we want a standardized form that is applicable across this county. We do not want decisions being made at the county level. Hon. Speaker, I want to laud the idea of Kshs5 million to every constituency to complete the “ghost” projects under the Economic Stimulus Programmme (ESP). There are very many incomplete ESP projects in the constituencies. It is good that we ... view

  • 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I must say that I am very proud of our Committee, the PIC, for this very comprehensive report. As everyone else has said, this is setting the pace. This is a report that has been done in a very comprehensive manner. If these sorts of reports will come from this House, the public will have a different image of this House. view
  • 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Many a times we hear negative statements made about hon. Members of Parliament. This is one report that will help redeem our image and we hope that other Members or Committees will emulate what has come out of this Committee. view
  • 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The Committee Members have taken the bull by its horns and they have called a spade a spade. They are standing on behalf of Kenyans as our role is representing Kenyans. view
