• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Kenya’s high seas and inland fresh water bodies are a key resource for diversification of the country’s economy through fishing; noting that most fishermen and women use traditional methods of fish harvesting, preservation and processing; conscious that there are few training institutions that offer studies in fisheries, oceanography and maritime technology in Kenya; further noting that huge losses are incurred due to lack of proper post-harvest management and inadequate fish processing plants in the country; concerned that this lacuna has contributed to relegation of the otherwise ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: including women who depend on fishing, this House urges the Government to establish both inland and coastal training institutions and processing plants with a view of building capacity for fishing communities to maximize their returns from the lucrative fishing sector. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, I also had opportunity to visit the port. My colleagues have already raised the issues that we raised as a Committee at that time. We did not feel that it was necessary to start another terminal at this time because they have not even started using the existing one that is completed. Initially, the Committee felt that it was not necessary, but they managed to convince us. First, they were saying that ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: hurry to start another one. Also, it takes like four years to complete one. The amount of work that will pass through the port is increasing. Trade between Kenya and other countries like even Uganda and Rwanda is increasing. More and more goods are being transported. We should also take into account the fact that the railway is also coming up and the port is connected to the railway. That will make our goods move very fast. The other issue is that of one window at the port. Right now, we have the one window system, meaning that clearing goods ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to the contributions that my colleagues have already made. I am sorry if I have to repeat the issues that have already been raised. I stand by the same issues. Having a good code of conduct is very important in any election process. It is important that we first of all have a good code of conduct. It is also important to have a very credible referee to oversee the elections. That is why the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) needs to be reconstituted. ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: It is also important to have a conducive environment for any elections. During every electioneering period, people living in the urban areas move to the rural areas even though they are not listed to vote in the rural areas because of the fear that comes with elections. We have seen that in many occasions in Kenya. It has happened several times. As we prepare to have elections next year, many people are living in fear. There is a lot of movement of people from urban areas to their rural areas, where they can find refuge. A strong system and a ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, we know that nominations must be done. For many years, the people who are nominated are those who have been very supportive of their political parties and championed the ideals of the party. Nominations are not given to anybody. In fact, the list of the people who are 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
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: nominated consists of people you have never seen. They are people who have been dying with different parties. If it is not a relative, it is a friend. That should be a thing of the past. It should be on the table across all parties, and not a particular party. I am not talking about ODM alone. I am talking about all parties that will be participating in the elections. I support the issue of nomination. The list should come out after elections because that is when you see people who have championed the ideals of the respective parties. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thirdly, much as I know that we have great leaders who do not have university degrees and some who have never seen the doors of classroom, we must realize that we spend a lot of money as a nation and families to ensure that our people go to school. We have gone to one school after another to ensure that we can understand issues better and debate in a much better structured manner. We do not want to discourage people who are taking their children to school by arguing that anybody can be elected to Parliament even if they do ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the amendment. I support it because it is important to use Government resources in a prudent manner. It will not be right to give money to the Senate for the sake of it. There must be structures. Even when the 47 County Women Representatives were looking for resources to do some work on the ground, they had to go through due diligence and put everything in place. I support the amendment. However, I would like to make it very clear that I was not ... view
