• 9 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: My investigation shows me that there are nearly 2,000 children currently in Kenyan jails. I might be wrong, but even if they are 200, they are still many. I want to urge my colleagues that we need to have an investigation. We need to ask the Committee to go and identify every child who is accompanying their parents in prison. We need to know whether that prison has a school. In my constituency, I have Kibos Prison. Kibos Prison School is one of the best schools in the area. However, it has never been heavily supported by the prison authorities ... view

• 9 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: This is very important, Hon. Speaker. I beg your indulgence. On the issue of the information that has already been mined, I ask the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communications, and the Digital Economy and the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration to make applications to wherever that information has been relayed because they have a way to find what information was routed and to where. They can have such information held. view

• 1 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker I should have known better. Apologies. The world over, the cancer of corruption has spread exponentially, especially in developing countries with devastating socio-economic and governance consequences. It persists in developing countries despite the proliferation of legal, institutional and other measures that have been put in place to fight corruption. In mitigation, The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) was initiated in 2003 and has since been recognised as a reference framework for the fight against corruption. Kenya was one of the first countries who signed this Convention. The UNCAC implementation requires the participation of political stakeholders ... view
• 1 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: It is against this background that the 2023 Doha Dialogue was organised to address the underlining issues of Parliament and parliamentarians' engagement with UNCAC. The event drew a strong focus on implementing good practices to address corruption by GOPAC and APNAC parliamentarians made the following observations: 1.

The funding of major anti-corruption activities in developing countries is weak and inconsistent. 4. Restrictions on the participation of Civil Society ... view
