• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I will start with the resolution on the establishment of girls’ boarding schools in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL), by Hon. Dukicha. We have engaged the Cabinet Secretary for Education and we are still pursuing the matter. In the 2013/2014 Financial Year, eight boarding schools were established in Wajir, Kajiado, Lamu, Kwale, West Pokot and Homa Bay counties, benefitting 551 girls. In the 2014/2015 Financial Year, we had 26 boarding primary schools, benefiting 1,399 girls, and 17 girls’ boarding secondary schools were upgraded to national standards in various ASAL counties, and 10 girls’ boarding secondary schools were established for upgrading. ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: energy. We have had to engage experts to establish the justification as to why the country is moving the opposite direction from what Parliament is proposing. We are waiting for a report from the CS which we shall bring back to the House for necessary direction. This is because we are pulling in a different direction from the Executive. On the resolution on the reduction of National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) penalties, surcharges to defaulters from 500 per cent to 25 per cent by Hon. Gitari, we have a report to the effect that, as we stand right now administratively, ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Association of Manufacturers (KAM), as well as the independent private providers of energy, to find out why Kenya Power is still operating as a monopoly, which is contributing to inefficiency in the energy sector. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am yet to get to the adopted committee reports and petitions, which are quite a number. With your direction, I have just tabled a notice of Motion where we will be debating our report, which actually carries quite a number of these reports. We will be giving our status as well as giving Members an opportunity to interrogate the work of the Committee. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your direction. I just want to say that this particular list is just an indication of the amount of work that is going on within the Committee. I know that there have been a lot of questions as to what the Committee is doing. But, this is what we are doing as a Committee. We have put a lot of energy and effort into the setting up of an online tracking tool, so that Members do not have to wait for these 10 minutes to know what is happening or stopping me in the corridors ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Select Committee on Implementation on the implementation status of House resolutions for the period from April to November 2015, laid on the Table of the House today Wednesday, 2ndDecember 2015. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the chance so that I can also add my voice in support of this Bill which is very timely. The protection of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions, even though I say the Bill is timely, is something that we should have been ahead of as a nation. 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
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I wish to highlight a few very salient provisions of this Bill, one of them being the express protection of cultural heritage, which is very pertinent. Heritage here is again divided into various parts, namely movable, immovable and intangible. We have seen tangible cultural heritage like shrines and secret sites, which are very sentimental and dear to some of our communities. They are even the subject of land grabbing. The Bill then comes to provide a much needed protection for these sites in respect and recognition of our cultural traditional heritages. The protection of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions from ... view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Mutilation (FGM) is one of these. We must be clear from the outset that every protection that is being sought under this Bill must be in line with the Constitution. We may see people going to court under the guise of protection of their intangible cultural heritage which are not in line with human dignity and rights and which may not be in line with the requirements of justice and our Constitution. With those few remarks, I wish to support and congratulate the Leader of the Majority Party for prioritising this Bill and bringing it to the Floor. Thank you, ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to say that being on the spot as the Committee on Implementation is very much expected because we are the convergence between the Legislature and the Executive in terms of implementation of all the business of this House. With regard to the issue raised by Hon. Muthomi, he has really generalised issues because if he has an issue with the specific question of the petition about erection of bumps in his constituency, we can undertake to bring it up as a priority for the Committee and give him the necessary feedback. Hon. Speaker, allow ... view
