• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to sincerely thank His Excellency the President for embracing me and my constituents when I came to Parliament. I thank him because since he took leadership as the President of this country, my constituents who slept in caves can now sleep in houses. I want to thank you for the security that we have enjoyed during your tenure. You did write about your agenda for Marakwet. Although it is not yet complete, the people of Embobut have seen light at the end of the tunnel; soon they will be resettled. ... view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to appreciate the retention of the CDF considering that many areas were marginalized until the CDF was introduced and the Members of Parliament were in charge of development in their constituencies. However, looking at Clause 24 on page 5737, you will notice that all the time they refer to a Cabinet Secretary. Clause 24(4) states that:- “The first meeting of the Constituency Development Fund Committee shall be convened within the first sixty days of a new Parliament or a by-election, by the national government official at the constituency or in his or her ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Member in order to say that the Government is not represented here? I am here and hon Kabando is also here. We are from the Government side. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support and appreciate the work of hon. Noor. Both of us come from the civil society background. Indeed, some of us would not have gained the courage we have in politics were it not for the training from the civil society. I congratulate all the civil society organizations who look out for women and train them in areas of decision- making, politics and many other areas. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to thank and appreciate the work done by the civil ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to know the meaning of a “serious Minister” because that is what hon. Ethuro said. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have really waited patiently for this chance to contribute. I would like to urge the House to facilitate these two Departmental Committees on Administration and Security and on Defence and Foreign Relations to do their work. In fact, they should move with speed once they are given the mandate to investigate this matter. Today we would be listening to their report if we had taken these issues more seriously. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to talk on behalf of the women whose voices no one wants to listen to because they are ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Consider gender! view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, from the ongoing debate, it seems that hon. Kimunya does not support the spirit of “Buy Kenya, Build Kenya”. I imagine what savings and credit co-operative societies (Saccos) go through. They borrow money from, for instance, Co-operative Bank of Kenya at 11 per cent. Later on, the interest rate on those funds is increased to over 24 per cent, and the Saccos have to re-pay yet the money is not with the Saccos. It has already been lent out to members, who have bought fixed assets with it. By supporting other banks, are we interested ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: I understand, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I am not talking on behalf of the common man. The other day a woman killed herself because of high interest rates. So many things are sold. By controlling the rates, it will mean that banks like the Co- operative Bank that I am talking about will be able to work at par. Why can we not build our own banks? Barclays Bank or Standard Chartered Bank declare high interest rates. I wish it were our local banks declaring big profits because they would plough them back. Even employment in these other banks ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion for the extension of the term of these commissioners, especially now that there will be more women vying for various seats this time round. Before, women were afraid because of the derogatory language that was usually used during the campaigns. Therefore, extension of their term will ensure that women campaign peacefully. I support. view
