• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support this amendment. However, my problem is the limitation that we are giving county governments on the number of accounts they should operate. We are now micro-managing county governments, which are autonomous. view
• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The proposal is seeking to have only petty cash accounts in the said banks. Another issue is that sometimes county governments encounter problems. For example, when the IFMIS is not working, they go an extra mile to take overdraft loans from commercial banks so that they can support their staff and make payments. This provision will be limiting them. The IFMIS in this country is not perfect. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I want to support his amendment because we need to safeguard all public institutions, otherwise rogue people can privatise them. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to give my comments on this important Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: This Bill has good clauses, but some need further amendments when we come to the Committee stage. There is great need to protect our girls who are vulnerable to sex pests. Some men have become perverts. Some men cannot differentiate between children and women. So, we need to take care of such caliber of people. As Hon. Dawood was saying, sexual offenders should be tagged. They should compulsorily wear tags so that everybody seeing them takes caution so that they do not get preyed upon. It is very important to introduce sex education to our schools especially from Class Six ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, she should demonstrate properly how we should admire women. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is why it is important to give girls who have potential of getting married a chance to engage with men. Lastly, about indecent dressing, as Hon. Chidzuga said here, some of these sexual offences arise as a result of our ladies dressing indecently. When you go to the streets of Nairobi, you will see some women exposing their bodies and that provokes the opposite sex because it is natural. I encourage our women to dress properly. There are some churches which have now introduced a rule that while attending the masses, women should wear long ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I want to support this important Bill and thank Hon. Florence Mutua for introducing it in this House. view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to give my comments on this Petition by Hon. Sara Korere. There are many Petitions which have been brought to this House concerning the road network in this country. We are really getting it wrong as a country because most of the Petitions that have been brought here touch on roads which were tarmacked, but are now 80 per cent worn out. Still, the Ministry is prioritizing new projects and neglecting the existing roads. view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Therefore, the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing should put the Ministry to task and order it to give us the status of roads that have been there since Independence. Most of them that I know of in my county are almost worn out completely. When the Ministry starts projects on those roads, they give money slowly like a drop of water. A case for study is in my constituency on the Nkubu Mikumbune Road, a road which was only to take Kshs60 million has only been allocated Kshs20 million and only one kilometre has been done.
