• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I did not hear the Committee Chair moving amendments to Clause 7 (b) and (c). She only moved amendments to Clause 7 (a). These are also amendments. I am not sure whether she moved them together. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: She should have explained the import of some of the amendments. view

• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I want to thank Hon. Mwaura and commend him for representing almost six million Kenyans who are living with disabilities. Hon. Mwaura is representing this group as a legislator. I want to thank him. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Motion because what we are talking about in this Motion today is in our Constitution. What we need to do is to ask ourselves why the Constitution is not being implemented the way it should. Some of the issues in this Motion, especially access to buildings, roads and other social amenities are advocated for in the Constitution.

• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, as Members of Parliament we have access to Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We are building schools and other facilities, but are we also adhering to what we are talking about.

Are we complying with these requirements of the Constitution? view

The people who are responsible for the implementation of these guidelines, especially at the county level, are the public works officers who approve building plans. At the national level, we have the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. We should task them to do an audit of all the buildings which have come up after the passing of the new Constitution in 2010.

I am happy that the CDF Board has taken a keen eye on the mainstreaming of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), especially in the performance contract that has been signed by the Constituencies Development Fund Control (CDFC) and the fund accounting managers in each and every constituency of this ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, I acknowledge that the mainstreaming of PWDs, alcoholism and HIV/AIDS is the way to go. Every institution and organization, if they mainstream these issues, we will be moving in the right direction. I thank the Jubilee Government for ensuring that the 30 per cent of the procurement quota goes to the marginalized groups. It is the first Government ever, since Independence, which has recognized that we have people living with disability. I am happy that if we have Ksh1.6 trillion, 30 per cent of that procurement will go to PWDs. view
