• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: C+. That will correct everything rather than justifying other things that will mess up the education system. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I want to say that examinations in Kenya cannot be seen to be fair to all the students who sit for them. We have variations in provision of facilities. Certain schools do not have the basic facilities to enable those students to pass exams. They include books, pens, teaching materials and even teacher-student ratio. Those are the factors that determine the quality and passing of exams. Those are the factors that need to be considered if we want to have a fair representation of our students in the same examinations. In some cases, some teachers do not ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the amendment to this particular Bill. view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this debate. I am disturbed by how much we are discussing voter registration. To me, whether people vote or register as voters, this exercise is an indicator of the state of the nation. We have to look at the factors which are behind voter registration. Whether we have 500 million, 20 million or 5 million voters, the truth of the matter is that people will vote. They will elect the President, Members of Parliament and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). Whether the number is ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Yes. It was an announcement in a function. That is the policy and the instructions which have been issued. This is one of the hindrances which married women are facing when it comes to getting ID cards and particularly those who are married away from where they were born. I think it is a matter which needs to be looked at very seriously. Secondly, as we encourage people to register as voters, let us have a clear mind that it is important for Kenyans to exercise their right to vote. I am reading between the lines that we want people ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: approach is wrong because we want to use people for our own gain and yet, we want them to realise the importance of their right to vote. We must have the right idea as to why we want to increase the number of voters. For example, I am saddened to hear that people are not allowed to enter certain churches or markets if they do not show their voter registration cards. To me, we are introducing anarchy in the country. We are denying people their right of choice. For example, if a particular person is not convinced to vote, I ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I am excited about how far this Bill has reached. Women play a major role in life and are close to nature. That is because in many households, women fetch water, firewood and till land and, therefore, interact directly with nature and natural resources that are key to living. However, we have faced many challenges that relate to management of our natural resources. If we want to uphold the environment that sustains us, we need to allow women to play key roles in ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know that my sisters will have an opportunity to contribute. Because women interact with nature and natural resources so much, it is important to have more women in decision-making positions for the management of those resources and, particularly, in Parliament. This particular Bill is important because it will enhance the management of our natural resources which sustain our lives. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, we need to address the historical injustices that have bedevilled our people. Culturally, for a long time, it is men who sat together and manufactured it. Gender is embodied in culture in the sense that men sat and allocated gender roles which did not favour women. Women have taken up those roles. Because they are good custodians, they have ensured that the culture that is there is upheld. Women have done those roles for a long time, but the injustice in it is that culture never allowed women to participate in it. So, the affirmative action in this Bill ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill. If we want sustainable food security in our country, we should include more women in leadership positions. If more women participate in leadership and in Parliament, the policies which will be passed will be sensitive to the household food security. Women interact more with families in food provision. They are the ones who look left and right to see to it that children are not sleeping hungry. Therefore, this Bill will enhance food security at the household level. view
