  • 19 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to thank the Chair of the Committee for bringing that amendment. I support because it is something that has even been litigated in court and it now conforms with Article 53 of the Constitution that makes sure that all parents have equal rights to their children. If Hon. Kaluma was here, I think I saw him come in and leave, but this is what he was also trying to do. People always presume that it is the mother who has a right to children, but as it turns out, fathers, ... view
  • 19 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think this is a good proposal because it will enable us to anchor certain institutions in law. This is an issue that has been creating a lot of problems for us when the Government gives funding to certain institutions, creating a lot of problems with the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Now, it gives the cabinet secretary the opportunity to designate certain institutions so that they can access Government funding. I would like to encourage and have it on record that we have agreed that there should be a transitional period of two ... view

  • 19 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me again rise to support. I think one of the issues that I was uncomfortable with is that we fund agencies that are not subjected to audit, yet it is public funds. We are giving funds to certain agencies that we know are complimenting the work of the Government, but they must be subject to audit. So, I fully support that from a governance perspective. view

  • 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Committee. I actually dropped an amendment yesterday, which was almost similar to New Clause 63A (b), which was obligating counties to facilitate the provision of childcare facilities. The Committee has actually provided a wider scope. I was providing for a very specific kind of facility, but it is good when you talk about general childcare facilities. Counties have enough money and each can provide a childcare facility. I support the amendment. view
