• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, for clarity purposes we are now going to debate the Motion as originally set out in the Order Paper. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, Dr. Shaban view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to plead with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Chairman of CDF and the Leader of the Majority Party that they either get a coherent explanation--- view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, thank you for protecting me. I was saying that failure to present a coherent explanation as to why Kshs5.4 billion allocated to CDF has been reduced, deducted, re-allocated, subtracted, lack of absorption capacity, divided; Appropriations Bill will come and so on--- I am pleading with them to study the mood of the House. We have gone through enough humiliation as Members of Parliament. These hon. Members have been unable to go to their constituencies. Without CDF, and you know it because you are part of this House’s history, Members of Parliament will be almost irrelevant. In the ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am begging the Reverend Mutava Musyimi to bring an amendment to ensure that the Kshs5.4 billion is here now. Absorption capacities are things that the structure of CDF deals with. We will all be supporting what is being suggested, for once, by the opposite side of this House. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Motion, but I also want to use this opportunity to clarify that it would be very unfair for Members to try and stop debate on an issue, especially if they sit in a Committee and other people have not contributed. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I support this Motion but very begrudgingly, first of all, because of what hon. Jakoyo Midiwo has said. The Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board that can see mistakes in 11 judges out of 16 judges, because 11 judges out of the 16 judges were women--- Most of the reasons for this Vetting Board dismissing these women judges or suspending them was temperament. We are tired of this word “temperament”. We, women, are view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to start by saying that today to many of us who are seated here especially the women Members of Parliament, this Motion is music to our ears. Listening to our colleagues is even more musical. I want to really thank hon. Hassan Dukicha, Member of Parliament for Galole. In this House in the last term, Galole was discussed in many other parameters to do with insecurity but today we are celebrating Galole as bringing to us a Member of Parliament who can bring a Motion that focuses on the education of ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, not so many years ago, it would have been impossible to find on this Floor a man Member of Parliament bringing issues to do with women or girls and speaking freely about sanitary pads, like my colleague has just done. I know the work done by many women in this country to try and bring to focus the marginalisation of the girl-child. These are women who came before me and those who are seated here, women whom I respect like the hon. Nyiva Mwendwa who I am happy to be sitting in the same House ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of course I was on the Chair and I know that the attempt to have an amendment was defeated and for a good reason. I represent Nairobi County. We have in Nairobi County probably the poorest schools in this country. It is not a competition; it is just a fact. The Member who was attempting to bring the amendment mentioned the school. This is a school that I visited where a girl called Akinyi was selling groundnuts. We heard that her family and many students who come from schools in Nairobi and who live in ... view
