A niece of the late Robert Ouko, she was interested in politics in 1992. She recalls how she realized where her fate was in 1990s, when she followed her family discussions on political developments in the country. She used to follow keenly political activists like Paul Muite and James Orengo since she had an interest in people’s rights and justice. She gained experience in developing a solid manifesto and campaign structure during the campaigns of her husband Eric Nyamunga, former Nyando MP. In her manifesto, she promised economic empowerment for the youth and women, adult education for women, mentorship for girls and sports opportunities in the county.

Ahsante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika. Mhe. Savula ni Mbunge kutoka Kakamega Kaunti ninayemheshimu sana. Kama angeweza kunisikiliza vizuri, nimesema kwamba nawashukuru sana wale ambao wamebaki Bungeni kuunga Mswada huu mkono ama kuupinga. Hivyo ndivyo nilivyonena kwa lugha ya Kiswahili.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the approval of the Policy Paper on child labour. Kenya is known worldwide for writing the best policies by any standards. The problem that bothers me is we may have policies but if we do not put structures in place for implementation, the many policies we put in place or pass will not add a lot of value. So, before I contribute, I would like to tell everybody in authority that the most important thing is implementation. We should be implementing all the issues that we deliberate in ...

on educating boys and the youth so that they access the Fund and use it wisely. If the Fund is not used properly and if the issue of corruption is not taken care of, we will pass very many policies but the problems will persist. Kenya is being ranked as moving into the middle class economy. To me, I do not see that middle class economy and yet I am a Member of Parliament. If I cannot feel it, will the person in the village feel that Kenya is now in the middle class economy? Is it just left for ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support this Bill with a few remarks. If you look at the history of universities in Kenya, you will know we have come a long way. During our days, you would find 4,500 students only in the whole nation who had qualified to access university education. Before that, we only had Dar-es-Salaam, Nairobi and Makerere universities in this region. For a long time, university education was a preserve for a few people. We now have thousands of students accessing university education. As we expand, we ...

who have gone to university without jobs than having children who have not gone to school at all. You find some universities offering courses starting from certificate, diploma, higher diploma up to degree level. That should be avoided. We have middle-level colleges which should take care of the certificates, diplomas and higher diplomas and then the universities should concentrate on offering first degrees and master’s moving forward. Some of the clauses in this Bill are very important, like the issue of funding. It is important to know how universities will be funded according to their needs. That should also be ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to what my colleagues have said about this Bill. It is very important to note that this is a national Government function and it belongs to this House. As we debate it, we should know that whatever the Bill is seeking to do is a national matter which should be taken care of by this House. Secondly, all professions should be regulated. There is no profession that cannot be regulated. If you look at the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board, there are rules and regulations that ...

With the level of efficiency that we want to introduce in our hospitals, it is very important that we have personnel that will take care of medical equipment. There are a lot of delays in Government hospitals all over the nation due to breakdown of equipment. Sometimes, they are very simple things, but because we do not have the right people or they are few, they become a problem. From the Bill, only 200 people are qualified. We should increase the number through certificate and diploma levels, so that we can have all levels of equipment maintenance and have people ...
