• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Bill. As much as privatisation is a good thing, it is not in Kenya today. We have heard a number of institutions that have been mentioned here earlier on by my fellow Hon. Members. If privatisation is well managed it can bring profits. However, when it comes to sharing these profits, they cannot be shared without Members of Parliament knowing because they are the major representatives of people in this country. I do not see the importance of this Bill in this House today because it says that the ... view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to wish you a happy New Year because I saw you last year. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to support my brother, Hon. Kisang on this. As women in this country, we have been seeing what is happening in Marakwet and it is not something very good to look at. This is especially when you see young children who cannot go to school and the youth running all over trying to see how they can save their parents and yet they do not have the means. It is very painful ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: something that can be dealt with if we all cooperate and work together. This is something that can be done. If you look at the Budget, you will find that we always allocate a lot of funds to our security structure. You now wonder how comes they cannot deal with such an in issue that keeps on re-occurring now and then. Is it that you want to reduce the number of people who want to vote for leaders in these areas? We should find out what is happening. The Government has all the machinery to deal with this issue once ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: The other day I heard that young girls in Marakwet could not even afford sanitary towels and that is why they were using leaves and animal skins. This is a terrible situation. I urge the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government to look into this matter because we need peace at this moment of the year. Those mamas are young people--- view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We should look at the issue of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) going to give help in that area. I know very well that when these people land in that area, it will not be good for women and children. I saw this happen in Mumias which is in Kakamega County the other day. It was not a good scenario. Are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: you people ready for this; that is when the KDF will be there? You need to ask yourself that question. You also said that you are ready to go to the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Jubilee Government has been fighting that we come out of the ICC, but now you want to go back to the ICC. You better ask yourselves how to deal with this issue because it is very political. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, but remember KDF and ICC are not the solution. The solution is with you, the politicians in Markwet region. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Neto for bringing this very important Bill. It will be very important when it comes to screening of the refugees as they come in, and more so the issue of the right to education for every child who is a refugee in this country. When this child grows up, one day, maybe, the people that he will be relying on may not be there. So, they need education while they are in this country. The protection of women and the disabled is also very important. We should put structures in place to ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue is that of the reception officer. This is very important because the reception officer will also help these refugees with information and help them understand what it means to become a refugee in Kenya. If we put these structures in place, we shall have the register where we will know the number of refugees we have. This will help when it comes to budgeting in the Republic of Kenya. With those few remarks, I support this Bill because it will be very crucial to us. I thank Hon. Neto for bringing this Bill to this House. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I would also like to thank Hon. Lusweti for bringing it to the House to improve the management of the FPE funds. A lot of infrastructure is not in place because most of the schools were put up in early 1960s. Classrooms are in poor conditions. When it rains, pupils are exposed to a lot of risk. Since schools do not have funds for renovating classrooms, they are forced to look for money in other offices. They end up at the offices of the NG-CDF while in other ... view
