• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Today, I am a happy Kenyan because we have come along way with this Bill as a Committee. I want to note and inform Hon. Members that Kenya, as a country, is almost getting the Climate Change Bill. In Africa, there is no other country, which has come this far on issues of climate change. Therefore, I want to thank, Hon. Ottichilo, the Committee and all the Hon. Members of this House who have really supported this Bill to this level. Issues of climate change are very touchy to the whole world. Now that ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment because if the President is the Chairman of the National Climate Change Council, and because of the enormous work that he does, in case he is not available, it is important that the Deputy President becomes the Vice Chair. This will ensure that the work of the council will go on. The issue of climate change should be anchored in the presidency because it is now becoming “a do or die” issue in as far as matters of climate change are concerned. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My concern is what Hon. Wamalwa has stated. This is informed by Clause 3 because according to this amendment, the County Education Board is supposed to handle youth polytechnics and primary schools. Is it that we are now taking the responsibility of the county government through this amendment or the Bill? It should be re-looked at. It is unconstitutional to pass such an amendment in Clause 3 because the national Government is not bothered with youth polytechnics. It is the work of the county governments. view

• 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: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for catching my eye after queueing here since morning to contribute to the previous Motions as well as this one. 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. I do not think it is very expensive for the proprietors or the owners of the existing buildings to be reprimanded to make sure that they are compliant with these rules so that people living with disabilities can access the ... view
• 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 ensuring that the money we are giving to schools--- Sometimes, we are doing storeyed facilities such as administration blocks. Are we complying with these requirements of the Constitution? view
