• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: As we speak right now, the National Policy for Disaster and Risk management and the Draft Disaster Management Bill are pending before the Cabinet for approval. We will follow on that and make sure that the law is subsequently passed and implemented. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, we have had a follow up on one House resolution on release of funds to the National Youth Council (NYC).This is based on a Motion moved by Hon. Zulekha Juma in June, 2013. On this resolution, the Committee notes that the Kshs34.2 million as at that time had been allocated to the Council both in the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 Financial Years. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: As a Committee - while we noted that this amount was not adequate to fully operationalise the Council - we have subsequently written to the Ministry advising it to pursue additional allocation from the National Treasury. This is because of the critical importance of the NYC in providing guidance and creating opportunities for the youth of this country to realise their dreams and be part of the mainstream development agenda of the country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, a Motion was moved by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Joyce Laboso on 9th July, ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: exhausted. This includes the clause on the most favoured nation and the implication of delay in ratifying the agreement given that Kenyan goods have been attracting higher import taxes. The Committee has scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary to seek clarification on the status of this very important issue. As I will be speaking later on about some key challenges that we are facing as a Committee, despite several correspondences to the Cabinet Secretary, we have had to postpone meetings more than three times because of the unavailability of the Cabinet Secretary. We will be talking about that challenge ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will just finish on that particular Resolution. We are following up with the Cabinet Secretary to seek more clarification on the programme and the need to expand this programme to cover more ASAL areas, thereby targeting more pupils. I do not know how much time I have, but I can stop there. That is if you will allow me to pick it up next time. view
• 26 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the amendments by the Senate to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, 2014. I support the Motion for two very critical reasons. The amendment to effect the need for preference and reservation schemes for residents of counties to ensure that a certain percentage of procurement remains with the residents of a county is a very important amendment which supports the core objective of devolution as enshrined in the Constitution. It is going to promote the taking of services and even benefits of devolution to the residents of a particular county. ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also stand to support this Bill. The Bill is not only timely but also important. It is important for all of us to understand what the whole issue of in-vitro fertilisation, commonly known as IVF, is all about. The gist of the Bill is provision a legal framework to protect a situation where there is difficulty in child bearing. The situation has not been commonly talked about. It has not been protected legally in this country. What we all know is the pain, suffering and agony that childless women or men, who are not able ... view

• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: communities where a woman is not able to have her own children, she is allowed to actually ‘marry’ a woman to get children for her own lineage and succession purposes. So, it is not a foreign concept. What I want to urge hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona is to find a way--- I am aware that the Departmental Committee on Health is thinking of ways of expanding this Bill, so that we are not talking of IVF only; we can expand it and include all other methods of assisted reproduction, so that women and, indeed, families can be helped. This is because ... view
