• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to join hands with the Members who have said that when we go to this period of recess, we preach peace. But it is unfortunate that as we are talking about peace, we are the ones fermenting negativity. view
• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: One of the worrying things for me is the number of small arms that are available in this country. Unless something is done especially during these political times, this country is in for a rude shock. I do not know why everybody feels the need to own a gun. If you have one security guard and a gun, that is enough. Why do you want to have 10 security officers with guns?

• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Government must be serious to curb the number of people with guns. You see people throw guns as if they are throwing stones like the incident we saw in Migori, which was totally unfortunate. I want to speak on the issue of direct nominations. I know there are colleagues who are feeling disappointed that ODM has done their process well. Welcome and learn from us. It is not too late. For those who had no contestants, they were given direct tickets. It does not matter whether you are trying to impute that people bought certificates. If there would be a ... view

• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. At the outset, I want to say that I support the Kenya National Examinations Council (Amendment) Bill, and congratulate Hon. Agoi for bringing it to the House. It is a very progressive Bill. Many students have been condemned unheard in the past. Indeed, I have a personal friend who went through Form One to Form Four and her results were cancelled. Because her parents could not afford school fees, she more or less wasted four years. She does not have a certificate to show she went through ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I wish the Member would have gone ahead also and provided for record keeping. We did not foresee the fiasco that we are seeing right now on record keeping where we are saying one person is being presumed to have many certificates and then the onus of proofing that is being transferred to him when it should be the onus of the KNEC. Right now, what I have as Milly in terms of what I got in any exam is, if somebody else decides to manufacture a thousand things about me, it is none of my business. In this era ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: doing right now and we put an appellate process, for which I actually congratulate him, but we have not provided a system of slaying corruption, then we will have a situation where people will go and approach the persons who are looking at this process and go up to appeal and bribe them. That has become the normal system in Kenya. I saw a very interesting joke on Facebook this morning where somebody was saying that we should now name corruption “Joho” and then all the systems and agencies of the country will be put towards slaying corruption. I wish ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, the other issue that is of concern and maybe because of time we may not raise it in this Parliament is - I have been walking in my constituency and it comes up everywhere - the ratio of teacher to pupil. There is a policy that I did not see in this Parliament so I do not know where it was passed. If it was passed, perhaps I was in the Pan African Parliament. I am a fairly diligent Member of Parliament but I did not see it pass here. The policy ratio of teachers to pupils that the ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: areas that have been marginalised over the years, and areas where we need equity and equality, face. That is the scenario. I know most of the time we give examples of northern Kenya. I come from a place that is similar to northern Kenya except that northern Kenya is covered by sun and my area is covered by water. If you do not put up a school at Remba Island, it means that the pupils from Remba Island have to ride on a boat for one hour to the closest island, Mfangano Island. Only recently I set up the first ... view
