• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker and thank you for recognising gender in this House. At the outset, as women of this nation, we are very disappointed by the words of the young Member of Parliament for Embakasi East who decided to abuse His Excellency the President and in connection with that abused his mother. We are very disappointed and we should start disciplining ourselves. For the Hon. Member, though the law has taken its course, when he comes to this House, we as women especially on the Jubilee side will deal with him. Secondly, yesterday, the business community of this ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: they knew that the famous “wanjikus” went and cast their votes on 8th August 2017. The voters were not interested in knowing whether the voting materials were carried on boda or on donkey backs. All they know is that they exercised their right. The best thing we can do in this House is to go the Germany way. We need to go back to manual voting where people cast their votes and wait at the polling stations, if they wish, where the total count is done and the president of the republic is known. We pray for peace for the ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: THAT, the Bill be amended in the Schedule in the proposed amendments to the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Act by — (a) deleting the proposed amendment to section 2; (b) deleting the proposed amendment to section 52; and, (c) deleting the proposed amendment to section 58. These proposed amendments are not of a miscellaneous nature and the Committee does not support them. They have a very significant effect upon the very existent of the TVET Authority and Kenya Universities and College Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) which was established by clipping its admission powers. Hon. Members, as you are ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Government. The current practice is that KUCCPS deals with the placement of Government- sponsored students to public colleges and those that are not prohibited from taking up self- sponsored students. Further, the proposed amendment in Section 58 removes colleges established by separate statutes other than the repealed Education Act from the ambit of TVET Act. Adversely, this institution will not be regulated by TVET Authority and it is unclear how education standards will be ensured. Who will accredit and inspect programmes and courses? The role that TVET Authority plays in technical and vocational training cannot be gainsaid and should be ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I would like to inform this House that as at now, the students joining KMTC are placed by KUCCPS. All the students who pass after completion of high school are placed in the universities by the same body. The ones who do not get a chance to join the universities are placed in colleges. I also want to inform the Hon. Members that the students under TVET are also getting loans from HELB. The Government has put aside Kshs900 million specifically for students under TVET. view
