• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose this amendment because if students are going to be given allowances, they are going to fight among themselves. So, there is no need to give them this chance because they will not study, having in mind that there will be allowances. They will simply fight; we, as parents, are going to get into problems since our children are going to kill each other because of money. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment because “business” is not the same as “occupation”.

• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I am very sorry that my colleague is opposing this Bill. Kenyans need to know that we are supporting this Bill because August is a difficult month. It is in August when our children prepare to go for examinations. We need them to be ready to face examinations. As one of our colleagues said, during campaigns we make a lot of noise. We go The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: round making noise while students are in school revising for examinations. As a result, they are unable to concentrate on their studies. We know that if we go to elections in August, we will not be ready in terms of the Budget. We discuss the Budget in June. We, therefore, do not want this country to come to a standstill because of the election. In August there are many things that happen. Again, we are changing this at the right time, that is the term in office for Members is five years. We are not amending this because of money; ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Sakaja for giving me one minute. I want to support this Bill because the youths are the ones who are having a lot of problems. Most of these youth do not have access to formal education and we must think about them. They can be trained in plumbing and masonry. Many youths in this country have not gone to school and we need to see what we can do with them.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We have poor people in our constituencies who cannot afford to take their children to school and we should think how we can help them. We should not allow only children from rich families to get jobs because they have formal education. We should think outside the box. How will we help people in Pokot and Turkana? I support the Bill. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. We are very happy with it and we give credit to the Chairperson and the whole Committee for the work they have done. However, we want them to go further to make sure that whatever we pass in this House - and the Head of State signs it into law - is implemented. When we go around the counties, we see that so many things are not happening. The Government said that it will send money to schools and children are not supposed to be ... view

• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill because I understand that when a woman does not have a child or family, it is a big problem. Women tend to suffer more, as I narrated the other day. You remember that Hannah would cry every time she went to church, yet she had a loving husband. The wife of her husband’s colleague would abuse Hannah because she did not have children, and she consistently prayed to God to help her, so that she could be removed from that shame and the ridicule of her husband’s colleague’s wife.
