• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: That means that the leader of the other side is not in the House. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are talking about allocation of funds to the counties. But most important, is really the implementation of functions for which those funds are budgeted for. In interrogating this Bill - which I support - it is very important that we appreciate that counties experience challenges in the process of implementing this Budget. Some of those challenges come from this thing called Integrated Financial Management System (IFMIS). This needs to be considered and when we are considering the allocations to those counties, it is important that we audit the impact and the effect of ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this amendment Bill. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill is very important for us as Kenyans. Indeed, our Constitution reserved the entire Article 53 to the rights of children. It also alludes to parentage. Children are the best gift that nature gives to humanity and the society as a whole. We should not take matters of children so casually. There is no society that does not have a systematic and sustainable framework of taking care of their children, whether it is an animal society or a human society. It is only fair therefore, for the Kenyan society to embrace Article 53 of the Constitution and not only ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It is only fair, therefore, as a Kenyan society to embrace Article 53 of the Constitution. We should not only leave the responsibility of parentage to mother and father, but extend it to the larger society. Indeed, our cultures have taken care of that. Our cultures know what the father and mother should do and we have lived to that. But because of the changing socio-economic dynamics, we find ourselves on the wrong side of the systems. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have orphaned children and we have to attend to these children because they have no mother or father. ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to start by saying that I support the Bill. I support this Bill strongly because we are a country with people who have the tendency to forget very soon where we are coming from. The other day, we declared HIV/AIDS situation as a disaster and everyone was moving towards dealing with it. It was even mainstreamed in all public institutions. We have forgotten that very fast. The impact of HIV/AIDS is not only medical. It has socio-cultural dynamics that could change the ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: many children are orphaned and, socially speaking, what kind of attention do we, as the leadership of this country, have to give to those orphaned children--- view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for that intervention. I hope the time lost will be granted to me. But I wanted to emphasize the point that we have many orphaned children who have come about because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This Bill needs to accommodate those children. They are many in number. We need to have the statistics of those children. We have had instances – and I can tell you for sure that, in my constituency – and I know hon. Members here will bear me witness--- When you consider the situation of orphaned children, they are up ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have several places where wananchi undertakes small scale mining. Indeed, those people have depended on that mining all the time we have been independent. They did the same even before Independence and some of the places have been named after the mining exercise. When you hear of Ikolomani, Roasterman etcetera, all those places including Kilingili, are named after the exercise of mining to the extent that the culture of those people is dependent on that exercise of mining. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I look through this Bill, the concern that it rises is that, how are those communities involved in mining all their life going to benefit? They have been involved in the management of mining. I wish to suggest - and I will bring this matter up during the Committee stage – that we should have a clear intervention on behalf of communities like Ikolomani and Roasterman involved in those undertakings that have been listed to be undertaken by the Cabinet Secretary (CS). They need to be consulted because our Constitution talks about citizen participation and ... view
