• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to rise in support of the adoption of this Report. I am also a little bit lost because of the terms that Members have used. I know my daughter and my parents are watching and so, I have to be very careful in terms of what I say about this. But all the same, it is not practised in the region where I come from. Fortunately, the Kamba community has advanced and moved beyond those very primitive and archaic systems of running their affairs. It is unfortunate that we are discussing ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.42A (5), I wish to ask Question No.255/2020 to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the criteria used to identify and select individuals to benefit from the National Hygiene Programme (NHP), dubbed KaziMtaani Programme? (ii) What plans has the Ministry put in place to ensure that the unemployed youth who are very severely affected by the effects of response strategies of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kathiani Constituency are considered for the said programme? view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I also rise to support the Report to approve the appointment of those individuals to the various capacities and ambassadorial high commissioner jobs around the world. The first reason for this is because when you look at that list and read out the names, you can see a representation of the face of this country. We are talking about Tipis, Wambua, Mwangi, Amolo, Kiptiness, Munyi, Nandwa, Mukala, Ogutu and Irina. These are the kinds of appointments that we are proud to be associated with because they show that the Government has identified these ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the clarification I was seeking has already been asked by the other Members. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, finally, these individuals and we must find a way of ensuring that this negative impression of this nation does not keep getting out there… As a nation, we have a responsibility to ensure that all our partners see us as a progressive nation. The current situation and activities that we have seen leaders in this country portray do not show us in very good light. There was a national meeting in Bomas of Kenya recently. The Head of State was seated there with his partners. His Deputy stood and in front of the full glare of media criticised ... view

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I also rise to support this Motion on the establishment of database centres. First and foremost, the issue of registration of births is a big elephant in the room. It has been a problem for a very long time. This was brought to the fore several years ago when the Ministry of Education decided that every school-going child must be registered under NEMIS. They started by saying that candidates should be registered and later on - about three or four years ago - they said that all school-going children should be ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: There were also those who decided that because there was a shortage of printing material, they would sell it. If you went there, queued all day and gave all the documents required, you would be told to wait for two to three weeks. Those that had about Kshs1000 or Kshs2000 would go home with their certificates. That problem is still there to date. It is still rampant. Up to now, a lot of our children do not have registration certificates. When the Government came up with the plan to ensure that all children of school-going age have those certificates, they ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I support this Motion. This is a brilliant idea. This is something that we need to cascade forward. After we debate it, we need to go into the implementation mode. We have the Committee on Implementation. We can even turn it into a Bill or make amendments, so that this becomes the new norm for this country. view
