• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am the Secretary-General of the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA), which the Minister is also an active Member. We also went for HIV/AIDS test publicly and he was very supportive. So, I know that as youthful leaders, they also have interest in this Sessional Paper. I would also like to support him for the initiative he has taken to revive the youth polytechnics all over the country.

• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is now almost a month since the Ministry of Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services promised to operationalize the Persons with Disabilities Act, the Persons with Disabilities Fund and the Persons with Disabilities Board but it has not done so. I do not know what is happening with the Government because they keep on saying that they will do it but they do not do it. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For over four weeks, I have been asking the Government to give a Ministerial Statement on the Persons with Disabilities Act, because it has not been operationalised. The issue of the Persons with Disabilities Fund and the Persons with Disabilities Board have not been put in place. Up to today, I have not had a response. The Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs was supposed to deal with the matter but it was moved from his Office to the Ministry of Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the funds for persons with disability have not been given out and a Board has not been created. It is critical that when this House passes a Bill, it should be operationalised almost immediately! view

• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as the world progresses, the technology will change with time. So, if we stick to one technology, we might get stuck.

• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to seek your direction on an issue, which, I think, is contentious. In most countries, people now do not mention the age of a person because it is discriminatory. All you have to say is "above 18" and the picture on the driving licence will clearly show whether the holder is male or female. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, so, I would urge the House to make that amendment, so that the age and sex on a driving licence does not matter. view
