• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: In trying to combine breastfeeding with work, for urban poor women, their concern is limited livelihoods and the nature of their employment. Women are constantly looking for a job and, often, most of them are casual labourers who are not entitled to maternity leave. They also have limited pay that does not allow them to save enough for the period that they have to be with their child for six months. This then means that they have to resume work shortly. Some of them do not even wait for a month. They even go to work after two weeks so ... view
• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: Another challenge for income working women is lack of work-place support such as breastfeeding rooms and facilities to either breastfeed or express milk. If a woman is going to a market-place, a place where one can actually go and change a diaper or nappy is not available. view

• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: Some of the harassment that women have to go through is like if a woman has a child and the child soils a nappy in a matatu or when they are travelling or even walking to a market. When you go to markets, you will find public toilets that even a person without a child cannot The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: get into. If you go into some of them, your child will pick infections from there. If you go to restaurants, many of them do not allow you to change your child’s diaper there. So, women end up frustrated and they may end up leaving their children at home because they do not have a place or a facility where they can do that. Some women have narrated stories of having to express their milk in very uncomfortable settings such as toilets. It is even a shame that this House that makes laws has no room for women to express ... view

• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I came back to this House after getting my child, I used to express my milk inside the car because there was nowhere to do it. It is a shame. There is nowhere in this House where one can express milk, leave alone coming with the child. This is a Bill I want to ask this House to adopt and move very fast to set a precedent. Before this Bill becomes an Act, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) should consider it with immediate effect. Despite the success that Kenya has made around exclusive breastfeeding in ... view
