• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: This legislation, therefore, comes to deal with shortcomings in service delivery to Kenyans in the public sector by public officers at the national and county levels. This law, at the same time, looks at the need to balance between fair competition and merit and affirmative action in promotions, employment and even in training opportunities for Kenyans who may want to be part of service delivery. It is explicit in saying that certain affirmative action groups must be taken into consideration in assessing the delicate balance between the need for merit and fair competition to make sure that women, the youth, ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this particular Bill. In support of the Bill, I wish to start by saying that, it is a pity that 51 years after Kenya’s attainment of Independence, we have areas in this country where the right to life of Kenyans is highly compromised largely because of lack of access to water. One of the major sources of distress for me as a County Member, as I do my rounds in the county, every single day, I am confronted by cries for water, particularly from the womenfolk. We know ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The other thing is that water touches the core of the right to the highest attainable standards of health for Kenyans, which is a fundamental human right. It is only yesterday that we saw a lady from Baringo who cannot walk or sustain her family because of an illness that has been as a result of lack of water. She has been reduced to breaking some stones for sale in order to sustain her family just because of lack of access to quality water. That was at Kambi Samaki in Baringo where the residents are seriously affected by the problem ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: that the reality on the ground is that women are at the core of water use and management. Where we have droughts hitting our communities, and where we have people suffering for lack of water, women suffer a double blow because of their critical role in the food production sector in this country, and also in taking care of their families. I will, therefore, be looking out for a requirement that in each of the institutions that we are creating in this particular Bill, we will have an express provision to make sure that the constitutional requirement for the two-thirds ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion, and particularly in support of it. I wish to say that from my reading of the Motion, the point is really the need for inclusivity in our attempt to push Kenya towards achieving its Vision 2030, and particularly in turning Kenya into an entrepreneurial nation by the year 2030. Having said this, I wish to say that the import of the funds that we seem to be comparing with this proposed Fund; the Women Enterprise Development Fund the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and Uwezo Fund ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: society to stand on their feet in terms of economic contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country. So, it should be targeted to men within this bracket who are in need of such affirmative action support. The other reason why I am supporting is so that we do not border on discrimination because the YEDF, the WEDF and Uwezo Fund are targeted at youth between 18 and 35 years of age. Uwezo Fund targets both youth and women of all ages, but then we risk discrimination contrary to the provisions of our Constitution, under which we should ... view
