• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: KICD has professionals who are well-versed and very knowledgeable. They can build in within the curriculum modules that can help and teach these children how to handle trauma. The first part of the Bill incorporates personal safety skills, self-defence, demonstrations on security drills, fast aid, detection and response to weapons and evacuation procedures in the curriculum.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: These are things that Hon. Emanikor would like to see in the curriculum. How do we evacuate kids when there is a disaster at school? How has the curriculum prepared the children for an evacuation? When I was in school in far country, there was always this bell that would ring deep in the middle of the night. You were then told that there is a fire disaster. All of us would run and gather at the fire point. There would be guys who would come and count everybody. They would take action on the people who did not come ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very important piece of legislation. I just hope that it will not be in vain but we will see classes for students on disaster management. I want to give you a very painful example. My Constituency has Pwani University. They will have their graduation tomorrow. I congratulate them on their graduation. This university loses 10 students every year through drowning in the Indian Ocean. This is because the fresher’s who come to the university come from places where there is no ocean. They get excited about it. During the first week, they go ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We have swimming pool deaths because the kids do not know how to react there. This is a very important Bill. I urge the Ministry of Education and the able Prof. Magoha to move with speed to save Kenyans’ lives by equipping these young people at school with the relevant skills so that we stop losing lives because of things that we can prevent. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. It will be passed here and it will become a law. The KICD will then ensure that they develop a curriculum and kids are taught and equipped with the relevant skills to help them safeguard their lives and that of others. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to concur with my colleagues on the same. But we should not blankly give powers to the National Treasury to make this decision alone without giving timelines. I hope there will be regulations to help them. The National Treasury can decide whether a governor is unfriendly to Government and they frustrate him. If the governor had an important project, it has to be forwarded to the National Treasury and somebody with political interests can use this to frustrate the governor. So, it might be a good clause to put in the law. ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank you for giving me this opportunity. Yes, Nakumatt has gone under. It has gone under with a lot of money from small scale traders. Yes, banks have gone under. They have gone under with money from people who have supplied them with many things. This has happened and this has continued to happen in this country. However, the remedy does not lie in creating a behemoth to which we will give all absolute power to investigate anything under the sun. We are saying that there is abuse of bargain power because a transaction ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We cannot do that. That is not the remedy for the problems we have when banks go under or Nakumatt goes under. Nakumatt went under with billions of people because somebody did not do his job. Nakumatt should have been told it should be a listed public company when it got to a certain amount of investment, instead of allowing it to be in the hands of only one family. That is what led to the collapse of Nakumatt. Yes, it went down with people’s investments and money. Suppliers and small scale suppliers have suffered. In my constituency, there are ... view
