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.

You will realize that every year there are very many primary school pupils who drop out at Standard Eight. Last year alone it was almost 200,000. If you take that one backwards, you will realize that we could be talking of over hundreds of thousands of children who drop out of school and do not have anywhere else to go. I may have to state that the general performance especially in Kisumu County---

Kisumu County should be doing much better than what has been shown here. Even if you look at the schools, you will find that they are schools which are within the City Centre. I know most of the schools. About seven of them are within the City Centre. If you take that to the constituencies in the rural area, you will find that the performance will not be as good as what is being stated in this Report. However, one of the reasons that I feel should be taken into account is the fact that in some areas in Kisumu ...

Lower Nyakach and some parts of Muhoroni, and I know many other parts like the coastal region, you will find that the working conditions for teachers are very difficult.

Hon. Speaker, in my view, I think the Government should do much more to take care of our teachers so that the performance in schools; either in primary or secondary schools can improve. My main concern is that there should be a transition. If you look at the activities that the Government is trying to put in place to take care of all the dropouts from primary and secondary schools, you will find that most of it is just in paper and it has never been implemented. This is because when you talk about village polytechnics, in Kisumu County, we ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to stand in support of the Bill. I would like to support this Bill of Retirement Benefits because it is very important. If you look at our Kenyan politics, you will realize that the way we do our politics is such that if we were to do a good job and be selfless in the way we run our constituencies or our responsibilities as Members of Parliament, it is a very draining exercise. You will realize that most of the time when our people retire from politics, they are ...

country. So, I believe that such people should be able to retire in a manner that makes a lot of sense. We do not want our leaders to retire and look like they never contributed any benefits to the people of Kenya. So, if you look at the former Prime Minister, we all know the role he has played in this country over the years. It is good that he should be a beneficiary of this Bill. There are many others that all of us know, like the former Vice-President and even the former Deputy Prime Ministers and many others. ...

Hon. Speaker, the intervention is that you have just put it very clearly that everybody is supporting, but here I am, I am not going to support. Can I be given the opportunity to articulate my points, if you do not mind?
