• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the Member for Nyeri County for having asking this question. In my constituency, in the last three financial years, I have not witnessed any single school benefiting from those sanitary towels. Could the Ministry ensure that the sanitary towels are distributed through CDF? A fund can be set through the CDF so that a Member of Parliament can ensure that the schools benefit from the sanitary towels. This will ensure fair distribution and there will be no question of some constituencies claiming that they have not benefited. Could the Ministry also not ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to continue from where I left off yesterday. I started by thanking the hon. Member who brought the Bill to this House and said that it was very timely. Some of the issues which have been cited in the Bill are very important. The victim’s details have to be captured and I was going to propose that further information be added to them. These details should be computerized, so that they are not interfered with, because this would deprive the victim of their rights. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The other issue that I cited is that, let there be a provision of quick response to the victim, especially when a case is reported. Let there be something like an ambulance provided in the constituencies, so that the victim can be rushed for medical attention. I also said that there should be some proper mechanism for protection of the victim’s rights. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The Bill also should ensure that the victim is protected and given fair treatment. I would also like to cite an incident in my constituency, where a victim was raped by an offender who was HIV positive. When the victim’s relatives went to report to the police, the police never assisted by giving them a P3 Form. In fact, it took my intervention for the victim to be given the P3 Form, so that the offender could be arraigned in court. This Bill is very timely because it has come at a time when many incidents are happening in many ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The Bill will address all these issues and victims will feel protected; the proposal that there is going to be a fund to take care of victims is a very good idea. Some of the victims, like the ones who are physically challenged sometimes get molested or even get raped because of their disability; some of these incidents are never reported. I think the board being established will come up with very good structures on how to make sure that physically challenged persons are attended to whenever they are victimized by offenders. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Mover once again and say that I support this Bill. Thank you very much. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I would like to congratulate hon. Millie Odhiambo- Mabona for bringing this Bill to this House. This is a very important Bill to our society. I would like to say that it is going to protect the victims. The rights of victims will be protected. I would like to say that the Bill proposes the establishment of information centres. Those information centres are very important because some people fall victim and such information is never reported. There are some cases where a report is ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Report. From the outset, I would like to commend the Committee that has done a very good job. We have been eagerly waiting to hear the end results of the Report, now that it is here with us. I 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
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: would like to say that the Standard Gauge Railway, once it is started in Kenya, is going to cut a lot of freight costs. Currently, the cost of moving cargo from Mombasa to Nairobi is very high. We are being told that once the Standard Gauge Railway is put in place, it will cut the cost by half. That will probably bring the cost of doing business in the country down. I highly support this Report and I once again commend the Committee. Thank you. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. I want to support the Motion simply because the problems affecting South Sudan are our problems. What we have seen on television of late is very sad. view
