• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: I started working on this Bill in 2004 when I was in the Civil Society. God deemed it fit that I should be in Parliament at such a time as this to move it myself in Parliament. I also want to thank all the Members and other persons. In fact, most of the amendments that I have brought here were proposed either by hon. Members or members of the media. view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: I also want to thank the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development whom we have worked with very keenly before and even now on this issue. view
• 15 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, I just want to thank very specially, the persons that I had mentioned before, but remembering three that I had left out: Kinder Notifer, European Union, British High Commission, US and very specially, the children of Kenya to whom we owe this Bill and to Tony Odera, Maura Sulivan and Gilbert Onyango of the CRADLE. view

• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Before I do so, I want to profusely apologise that I was not in the House when Order No.8 was read out. I would like to indicate at the outset that we have been negotiating with the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development over certain amendments. That is why this Bill has been coming up severally and has been deferred. view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Actually, that is why the Minister was not here. We were given the impression that the Committee of the Whole House will come tomorrow. I would like to thank the joint Committees for the Report. One thing that is clear is that there is need for very clear and thorough audit in the procurement process, especially for public goods. However, the concern that has been raised by the joint Committees, which I support, is the inordinate delay in this process, including the court process. This is especially, when you have goods that affect the ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister clarify why, the National Sitting Volley Ball Team for Persons with Disabilities has not received financial and other administrative support from the Ministry to travel to the USA on the 7th of July, 2010 despite having qualified to represent the country in World Championships, in Oklahoma USA? (b) Is the Minister aware that failure to facilitate such travel is tantamount to perpetuating discrimination against persons with disabilities, contrary to Section 82 of the Constitution of Kenya? ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this country we have always treated the issue of persons with disabilities lightly. From the information that the Ministry has given, you can see that the Ministry actually prepared this team towards the international championships. When they finally qualified, the Ministry, acknowledged that it had less than Kshs10 million and asked them to source for Kshs2.3 million. What is stopping the Minister from asking the team to reduce the number because the games are still going on up to 21st July, 2010? The Minister can ask for a re-adjustment so that they play later. What is ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: There are members of this national team who have been in this city for the last week from all over the country; Eldoret, Mombasa and elsewhere. They have been waiting for the Minister to intervene so that they can travel. They are doing a lot of preparations and planning on their own. Can the Minister, please, assure us that they can go to her office so that her office can facilitate them to get credit facilities for their air tickets and the things that can be done here, so that the only balance that they need to give them in ... view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government clarify what he is doing to ensure that both camps – the “No” and “Yes”, are not using children for their campaigns? There is an advert that is using children to say choose life, vote no. This is unconstitutional and against the Childrens’ Act. What is he doing to ensure that we do not flout the law because children do not have capacity to make such decisions? They do not know what those things are. They do not abort. view
