• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. For the benefit of the doubting hon. Members, in central Kenya, as Hon. Nyikal has said, we are now consuming fish; I also want to speak on this Bill. view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: First and foremost, I support the Bill. I have briefly gone through the Bill. I looked at the objective of the Bill and I feel that the objective of this Bill sounds like a goal and not really an objective. It should be broadened. I know Hon. Millie Odhiambo- Mabona will be looking at amendments and it is important that the objective of the Bill is expanded a little bit. Since I am speaking on behalf of women, I know women are a big part of the fish trade. I am aware that women do not necessarily go to the ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I looked at the Advisory Council and I felt that it is heavy with Government representatives. I tried to see whether the local community was part of the Council and I did not see them. I know I can work with hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona to propose 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
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: amendments to provide that the local community be part of this Advisory Council. When we look at the objectives and the functions of Kenya Fisheries, you realise that they need to be broadened, so that we do not just talk about management. There is much more to the management of fish farming. This is a very important Bill and has come at the right time. Once we involve the local community and think about expansion and the sustainability of fish farming, this is going to be a good Bill that is going to help fish farmers. view

• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I want to congratulate my team for compiling this Report. Before I became the Member for Murang’a County, I met several retired teachers whose sole prayer was that when we get to Parliament, we should look into this issue. It is very sad when we have a Government that does not obey a court order. We have lost a lot of money. When the first ruling was made, the Government, through the Attorney-General’s Office, appealed against the ruling in the High Court. The legal fee was Kshs382 million for the first ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is not willing to pay that money because it has not put it in its budget. So, since the money had already been budgeted for, where did it go to? The person who is holding it should release it immediately for payment to the retired teachers. The retired teachers are willing to receive in instalments whatever sums are needed to be topped up. It is a shame that the governments that were there previously assumed the retired teachers. I am in the Jubilee Government. I will urge my Government ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On the same breath, I urge the Attorney-General to advise the Government accordingly because that is his main role. I am very sure that he will do justice to those retired teachers. I will be happy when I hear that the Government has started settling down those payments. Going by the budgets that have been passed here, Kshs42 billion is not money that the Government cannot afford to pay, especially bearing in mind the fact that the retired teachers are willing to receive the payment in instalments. In the appeal that the Government filed against the decision of the High ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I hope that the Government will listen and pay the dues to the retired teachers. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon.
