• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want, first of all, to congratulate my colleague from Westlands Constituency for bringing to the House an issue which was deliberated on this Floor during the Tenth Parliament. It is obvious that there is going to be a crisis due to lack of clarity on what should happen to schools that were previously owned by communities, including church communities. Therefore, as this petition goes to the Committee, I would urge them to look at the HANSARD Report in which the debate on this matter was captured in the last Parliament and see the kind of ... view

• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to congratulate hon. Njomo who has moved it. It speaks directly to an issue that is almost a crisis in this country which is youth unemployment. It also highlights a fundamental flaw that has been in the Government for long where we have set up beautiful institutions, which fail to work because of lack of implementation and lack of structure. It is shocking that employees pay a fee for everybody who is in the industry that goes to a training levy, which I am 100 per cent sure that if ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I just want to get clarification of certainty from the Leader of Majority Party. He has spoken about bringing the Marriage Bill. In the last Parliament, there were four or five consolidated Bills that were dealing primarily with issues that were being handled by the gender Ministry. We were given the assurance that when the Bills come to the Floor of this House, they will come together simply because of the inter-linking between some of these Bills that deal with gender, reproductive health, inheritance view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: . They were held at the gender Ministry. The CIOC had spoken about them coming and also other Constitutional Bills. I now hear the Leader of Majority Party speak about only one of those Bills. Could we get clarification whether it is possible that the Government gives us a favour as women, for once, and just lets us complete these Bills that have been pending for so many years? That will sort many of the issues that currently concern gender bias or gender mainstreaming in this country. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I really appreciate hon. Junet today because he has raised a very fundamental issue. My 47 colleagues and I, who are county Members of Parliament, sit in a very unique position. We are able to gain the thoughts of the counties much as we sit here as Members of Parliament. I can tell this House that the misinformation on the ground, as pertains to why counties have not started operating, is targeted at the National Assembly yet we have played our role and completed our task. It is about time that this House comes out clearly ... view
