• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: He has four public schools. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am glad my brother T.J has shared that he has four public schools, when we have 146 in Suba North. Hon. Mutunga is telling me he has 84 schools both primary and secondary. I have 146 both primary and secondary schools. I was sitting next to another Member who has 250 both primary and secondary schools. Hon. Mutunga has told me to clarify that he has 84 primary schools. That tells us that with the Kshs103 million that we receive, the most I can do per school is one class. Even by doing one class, ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Let me give another example in that regard. You may look at it in terms of population. For instance, Kibra has a much higher population than my own constituency, but it is more compact. If I were to move around Kibra, I will go through the whole constituency in one day. If I want to move in Suba North, like I have been trying to move from one village to another meeting people, it will take me one year because my constituency has seven habitable islands. The furthest when you go by speed boat is about two hours and when ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: some element of justice in the distribution of NG-CDF. Sometimes, people challenge you by saying that they see how Nairobi MPs are constructing wonderful colleges. If I construct one college, that is a NG-CDF allocation for the whole year for Suba North. Meanwhile, what happens to the other facilities that are all in pathetic situation? I have given you an example of Sukuru Island. We did the first ever classroom about two years ago, and that encouraged the Governor. They have been promising to put up another class for ECDE. At least, it will have one ECDE class and one ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for indulging me. I am talking about something different arising from the vote. I was in a funeral service so I have come late. I am not a person to shy away from anything - any vote of any nature. Hon. Wamalwa called me earlier. I was vehemently opposing him yesterday. When he called me earlier, he almost persuaded me. So, I was coming to see which way because I am fairly ambivalent about the date. I do not care whether people vote in December or August. This is not one of those things that I ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I support the Motion. In supporting the Motion, I want to give a different angle which is looking at the role of land and the feminisation of poverty. Again, from what the Members have said, ownership or access to land opens doors for wealth creation and acquisition. Some of the ways in which it will enable one to access or acquire wealth is that when you own land or have access to land, you can sell it, use it to acquire loans or use it productively by farming. ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: land. Because women are the ones who play mainly the nurturing and caring roles, this has led to the feminisation of poverty. You find that in Kenya, and in Africa as a whole, majority of the most poor are women because they do not have access to ownership or control of land. Even though the Constitution provides for the ownership of land by women, many communities have not yet adopted that constitutional provision. Hon. Speaker, I know you have challenged us as a House that it is not enough for us to pass or note this Report and challenge the ... view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Procedurally, I want to reiterate what the Member has said. The Chair was very categorical when she called out the vote and the Noes had it. For her to do that, she must have first convinced herself that there was quorum. The quorum for such a matter is two-thirds and she convinced herself that we had two-thirds and we took the vote. Thereafter, we were being forced to go into a further voting after we had voted. Being obedient Members of Parliament, we were even willing to subject ourselves to that, but even the mode that ... view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: are celebrating, some are out, some are in the toilet, they purported to do a vote. If you looked at the electronic system, it showed we were even more than the actual legal numbers. Jesus Christ and religious and spiritual leaders, including Muslim ones, were with us in this House. That is why the numbers were higher. view
