• 12 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. A Government Task Force on the implementation of the Sexual Offences Act was established a few weeks ago, and I noticed that the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife is not a member of that task force. How does the Assistant Minister intend to work on this issue when we know that the task force is also working on this issue? Or are they doing two different projects in one Government? view

• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Government plans cannot just be about constitutional reforms. What method is the Government using to identify Kenyans who live abroad? We have Kenyans who are street people, criminals, victims of hurricane Katrina and so on. As we prepare for the constitutional amendments, what is the Ministry doing to ascertain who is a Kenyan and where they are? view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Leader of the Kenyan Delegation to the 115th IPU Assembly, I beg to reply. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank all the hon. Members for their contributions and support of this Report of the delegation. I have a couple of observations to make before I move it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in future, the Kenyan delegation needs to be more prepared in terms of campaigning for posts. This is a problem that we have in this country. The Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations has alerted the ... view
• 5 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, it is not unusual in politics and in Parliaments to have the majority of hon. Members being more senior than the minority who are younger. Even as we want young people to come to this House, I think we need 454 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 5, 2007 to appreciate the experience and the flavour that the senior and older politicians bring. That is what I learnt from this trip. In future, we should be sending out delegations which are zebra, that is composed of a senior politician and a junior one. Mr. ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services:- (a) what specific steps he has taken to implement the National Policy on Gender 330 and Development and, particularly, to ensure that at least 30 per cent of the new recruitment into the public service are women; and, (b) how members of the public, particularly women who are interested in these positions, can access and evaluate the success of this programme. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me, first of all, congratulate the Minister in terms of the work that has already been done. However, my concern is on new vacancies. Vacancies such as board appointments which are left to Ministers to fill them are not placed in advertisements. What will he do to ensure, in future, that all information on public sector appointments, including board appointments of parastatals, is available to women who would like to seek them? view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there is need to confirm that, as women, we are one tribe. But that notwithstanding, I want to ask the Minister whether it is possible for his Ministry to bring a Bill for an Act of Parliament, which will enact this policy into legislation, so that we can continue to refer to it as law and not a directive. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The reading of Section 42(2) of the Constitution is very clear. I agree with you that it does prescribe the maximum and minimum, but it also says that at any time, the number can change if Parliament so prescribes. Parliament can only prescribe through an Act of Parliament. Therefore, the Assistant Minister should be telling us when his Ministry will bring the Bill to the House. view
