• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: character formation and inculcate good values that will in turn make them responsible citizens. We should look at this area very keenly. We are aware that this is a function which is fully devolved to county governments. As we deal with the challenges facing our counties, we should highlight this area so that we can have an opportunity to correct some ills that are persisting in our society today. This is where we build our foundation as a nation. In this regard, we need to support this Bill as we look forward to building the nation positively. I support the ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Report on the Table:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on the Petition by Hon. Zuleikha Juma Hassan, MP, on the deplorable working conditions of the workers at Kwale International Sugar Company Limited. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Please allow me to say this and it is also to the attention of all Members. It is not fair for Members to keep on belabouring and complaining about issues out of ignorance. It is less than a month ago when I tabled a Report of the Committee and if every Member would take an initiative to go to the relevant offices of Parliament to find out the status of their various resolutions, we would save time from unnecessary interventions and complaints. If Members read that Report they would find out how far their resolutions are ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, again for the attention of the Members, I did not complete the Report I tabled before the House and we are still pursuing it through the Office of the Clerk and your Office for prioritisation so that I can lay it before this House for debate. Members will know the status of implementation of these various resolutions. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I would like to urge Hon. Njuki to go and retrieve House records and he will find out the status of implementation of his resolution and that also applies to Hon. Wamalwa and everybody else. They make unnecessary complaints. In every resolution of this House, when we call the various CSs to interrogate them on how far they are going with implementation, we call these Members including Hon. Wamalwa. He knows the extent of implementation of his resolution. I would like to urge Members to support the Committee. Our Committee has a full in-tray. The Office of the Clerk should ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: is not there. The tool which is there tracks other businesses of the House but not the extent of implementation. We have put in a lot of resources sitting with experts and Information and Technology (IT) gurus to come up with a plan on how to operationalise it but it has not been done. The last time we heard from the Office of the Clerk was that there was a budget of Kshs300,000 which was supposed to operationalise it. That should be done so that each Member of this House, and members of the public because this is also for ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to add my voice in congratulating the Leader of the Majority Party for tabling this Bill as well as Hon. Chepkong’a for ably and strongly seconding and supporting it. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Like it has been said by my colleagues who have spoken before me, this Bill seeks to operationalise Articles 27(8) and 81(b) of our Constitution, which is one of the most progressive in the world. That is an undisputed fact. It envisages and envisions a society based on the rule of law, non-discrimination and social justice. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: At the core of our Constitution, which is the gist of this Bill today, is the strong belief that our society can only find real progress if all the citizens are able to participate fully in the governance of this country without any discrimination and in equal measure in building of our nation. This includes women, men, persons with disabilities and all marginalised and excluded groups. This Bill seeks to enforce the two-thirds principle to make sure that all these groups have an equal sitting space around the table of building Kenya. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to highlight a few very salient and important features of this Bill. One of it is to institutionalise affirmative action in Kenya in the way it has been done in many other jurisdictions in the world. One of them is to make sure that we do not have a permanent feature of affirmative action in our Constitution. The Bill seeks to cure an imbalance that has been created by years of marginalisation based on gender lines. Members who have spoken before me have clearly stated that this Bill has not been made for women. This is an issue ... view
