• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, the basic salary should be retained. It was removed in the Miscellaneous Bill. The reason behind it is that this is the basis upon which most benefits for employees are calculated. Therefore, we are proposing to retain it and hence that amendment be deleted. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is a very good proposal. I was just wondering but if it is provided for, then I will be educated on it. Would it be neater if we can have a form of complaint so that we can give a framework of how those who are complaining can present it to the tribunal as proposed by Hon. Omulele? view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know what she is saying. I know there has been an issue on cash transfers. Even as we proceed to promise that we are going to reply to that within the next two weeks, it is also good for Members to know that, as at Monday, there was a release of Kshs3.1 billion which went to the three programmes on cash transfer, but I know that is not enough.

• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I was in Mombasa and I had to make way because there was business. Last Thursday, I had given work at the Table Office but they were not able to tell me. I know you were asking where I was, but I was also on official business.

• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, under Standing Order No.216, this Committee is mandated to study the programme and policy objectives of Ministries and Departments and interrogate the effectiveness of the implementation. Despite Kenya’s robust legal framework that criminalises Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), the practice still exists. The Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) 2014 shows that 21 per cent of women and girls aged between 15-49 years in Kenya have undergone FGM. Further, notwithstanding the national decline in prevalence, this harmful practice is still high in some communities. Giving examples and the percentage of the rate in those communities, I will start with ... view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: In terms of regions or former provinces, we also have the highest percentages of prevalence of FGM in those areas. The leading one is North Eastern with 97.5 per cent; Nyanza, 32.4 per cent; Rift Valley, 26.9 per cent; Eastern, 26.4 per cent; Central, 16.5 per cent; Coast, 10.2 per cent; Nairobi, 8.0 per cent; and Western, 0.8 per cent.
