• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to oppose. If you listen to the language that has been consistent when you are talking about special interest groups, we talk about micromanagement. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Constitution states that the Government shall take measures to ensure representation of women and persons with disabilities, including taking steps The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: on affirmative action. The taking of affirmative action steps, even by parties, does not amount to micromanagement. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, I urge Hon. Kioni that it cannot be too much to expect parties to put in some funds to promote women, persons with disabilities and minorities within their parties. If that was not the case, look at this House, how many women have come here through single constituencies? How many people have come here as persons with disabilities? That is our reality and we must deal with it. As of now, the representation of special interest groups is still very low and very poor. We need to take measures and these are such measures.

• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: It is sad that we have dropped a lot of the provisions that are monetary in nature.

• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for their Report. I support that the House notes the two reports of the State of the Judiciary and Administration of Justice of the financial years 201617 and 2017/2018. I want to thank the Mover and the Member for Tharaka, especially on emphasising the need for separation of powers that ensures that the three arms of Government not only support each other, but also oversee each other.
