• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, thank you for indulging me. Because of multiple roles, sometimes it becomes difficult to remember where the card is. So, thank you for indulging me. That is why I am carrying my hand like a person in class one. I wish to support the amendment. The reason why I support it is that as a country, we should get away from this mental frame where we think that nurses are low cadre. As I stand here and speak before you, I have a niece who has just graduated with a degree in nursing. She The electronic ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: got a straight ‘A’ at O-level. Nursing is not inferior job, it is a superior position. In the USA, it is an exalted position. These are people with intellectual minds that can see. They are the ones who use these tools. Having said that, I was very far and the reason I came back is because my constituents sent me a message to be in the House. I encourage my constituents. That is why I am employed. Above all, when a serious person like Dr. Nyikal speaks, I listen. He is an expert. So, if he tells me this is ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: My only worry is that sometimes when we are doing legislation we need to be clear. Sometimes what we intend is very different from what the actual legislative process is communicating. So, my worry is that where we are not clear, we might be going contrary to our own intentions. That is my only worry. Having said that, can we please report progress? view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I can deal with him. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Hon. Member who is my neighbour and friend in order to mislead the House that Ndhiwa is the food basket of the county when it is Suba North that is the food basket? It is supplying fish to the whole county! view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report. I wish to indicate that whenever you travel out of the country, there are two best practices that Kenya is cited for: NG-CDF and M-pesa. When I sat as a Member of the Pan-African Parliament, there were several Members from other countries who wanted to come to Kenya to learn how we manage NG-CDF. Several other countries have picked the practice because of the difference that the NG-CDF has made. It is also a further good practice that, as a Parliament, we audit the way it is run ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The only challenge we face is that we do not sufficiently market the work that NG-CDF does. Sometimes, when I listen especially to the elite who have no clue about what NG-CDF does, it is very disheartening. In the past, people used to raise issues about inequality and lack of equity in the distribution of funds. But with the NG-CDF, you can see a changing face of Kenya. Areas that had never known proper and decent classrooms, you can now see them adorning very good classrooms. One of the things that people do not understand is that NG-CDF has a ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Sometimes, when you walk around, you hear people telling you that they want the NG- CDF to build heath facilities and all manner of things that it cannot do. Our colleagues 47 County Women Representatives are even much more placed because they are able to do social The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: welfare programmes that we are not able to do. They can buy umbrellas and do markets which we cannot do. We are limited to education and security. It is very strict such that it is very difficult to move money from one thing to another based on what is agreed in the law. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The only thing I find challenging in NG-CDF is …. Recently, we visited a colleague in a constituency in Nairobi. One of the speakers before me alluded to that fact. I know this is something that has been canvassed before. People were talking about considering percentages for different constituencies. I will give you an example of my constituency that has a population of about 117,000 with 146 public schools. Compare that to a constituency in Nairobi with less than 10 public schools yet we get the same amount of money. This is a challenge I want to give to the ... view
