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.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands regarding rampant multiple sale of land parcels in the country. It has become difficult to buy land in the country particularly in Kisumu County for fear of multiple land sales to different people. In the Statement, the Chairperson should state if the allegations that the Ministry of Lands officials are involved in these shady land deals are true and indicate actions taken against officers found culpable to date; state the measures that can be put in place to ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to add my voice to the many people who have supported the amendment of the Bill. It is very important that if you want to enhance economic growth in our country, then we need to strengthen our financial institutions. It is very important that we make changes in our banking industry or financial institutions that will bring confidence to the people of Kenya. I agree with those who have said that in the 1990s so many banks came down and the main reason was that there was a lot of mismanagement. That removed the ...

On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Do we have the moral authority as Members of this House to discuss the Motion? That is because I was so disturbed a few days ago when one of the Members of Parliament after taking his lunch, took a piece of banana, peeled it off and instead of eating it in the dining hall, came out and ate it outside. As if that was not criminal enough, he went ahead and threw that banana peel outside. Do we have the moral authority to talk about the cleanliness of Nairobi or any county?

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support the Motion. One thing that we must realise in this country is that there is a very big gap between the technically trained people and degree holders. Most parents opt to take their children to the university level. As it has already been said, some of the degrees may not add much value as compared to technical training. Let us take the example of Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree. I am not saying that BA is a lesser degree but in the technical market today, and given the fact ...

Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker, I also rise to add my voice to the many hon. Members who have spoken on the same Motion. We all know that the difference between the poor and rich in Kenya is very wide. That gives us so many students who are needy, and who should be going to school. Some of them are very bright. So, I stand to support the Motion because it touches on almost all of us. If there is a mechanism by which there could be a database which can be used even by the CDF itself--- I do ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the appointment of the five nominees; I am one of the Committee members who were doing the vetting; I know the level of trust that the House has put in every Committee. I believe that once the House nominates hon. Members to sit in a committee, it must have some trust. So, I want to assure all the hon. Members of the House that the Committee did a very good job. We vetted all aspects of the candidates. We were very convinced. They convinced us. Even the ones who were ...
