• 23 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this very important amendment because carbon credits are being misused and can be used for money laundering. view
• 23 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I would like to support the Chairman and also agree with Hon. TJ Kajwang’. Looking at what is stated in A, B, C and D, it is quite heavy. So, it is important that it is done with a warrant. view
• 23 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairlady, to support the Chairman of the Departmental Committee, and with much respect to Hon. Millie, this matter is covered in other laws. There is no need to over-legislate. view
• 17 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support this very important petition bought by Hon. Charles Onchoke. The matter of retirees is becoming very problematic in our country. I have several old people, mostly men, who worked for the Kenya Railways Corporation. They are also giving a story similar to the one raised by Hon. Onchoke. view
• 17 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: I would like to encourage the Committee led by Hon. Mbai to not only look at the matter raised of Mr. Asiago, but go beyond and check on other retirees. I would like to raise the ones from my constituency like Mutoma Andikudha who worked for Kenya Railways for 20 years. Others worked for 25 years then stopped working or retired and have never been paid. I would like to mention Mr. Musili from Kathithu Village in my constituency whose two wives are suffering because they have children and are unable to take care of them. All they do is ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I congratulate Hon. Jane, who is the Member for Kirinyaga County, for coming up with this important Motion on the establishment and promotion of comprehensive health education within our education system. Many governments have tried to introduce this topic in our education system. At times, it faces different challenges due to our societal system and the belief that talking about sexuality is a taboo. Other challenges are local and international. I support the introduction of comprehensive health promotion within our schools so that children understand their bodies ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are not able to talk about comprehensive health education without talking about HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. It is important that health education, especially about HIV/AIDS, be discussed openly within our school system and among children from a very young age. That is so that they protect themselves and other children who maybe within families where parents are either infected or affected. I would also like to point out that comprehensive health education is about not only HIV/AIDS and sexual education. It will also focus on the children’s bodies to know how to take care ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in National Assembly: When focusing on the introduction of health promotion, it needs to be done in a child- friendly way. I am aware of programmes the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) introduced. They tried to introduce child-friendly participatory health education. They tried to use churches, communities, leaderships within Parliament, and leaderships within our counties. That is so that children, parents and community leaders are more comfortable on engaging children about sexual health education. These efforts have not been very successful. Even as the House passes this Motion and hopefully discusses it as a Bill, I recommend that we focus on having comprehensive ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also encourage linkages where children can be exposed through mentorship by people who can speak to them confidently about health education promotion. This will require huge financing and the country looking at countries like the 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
• 26 Jul 2023 in National Assembly: Scandinavian ones that have succeeded—Denmark, Norway and Sweden. These children are not very different from ours. It is extremely important that our children are taught who we are and our moralities in this era of LGBTQ. I am not trying to say that health education should be morality education. There is a big difference between the two. Thank you very much for giving me a chance to give contribution to this Motion as I congratulate the Member for Kirinyaga for coming up with it. view
