• 9 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: I strongly support the Motion by my brother, Hon. Brighton Yegon. The childcare programme proposed, especially after the fourth year, is one that has been recommended and looked at everywhere in the world. As Kenyans, we are always the first to go and sign the so- called United Nations declaration on this and that. In 2020, the United Nations Rules on Treatment of Women Prisoners and their Children was signed by us. It was never rectified. We just signed. We all signed and did nothing about it. We also signed the African Charter on Rights and Welfare. If put together, ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: children grow up with distaste and disgust for the system. They will fight us and the system for no reason other than the fact that they were treated like dirt. They were treated like they were not required. view
• 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: As I said, children’s rights are not acknowledged in the system and, therefore, we need to have some clarity. The clarity in law and… 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
• 9 Aug 2023 in National Assembly: That is the court system in Kenya. We will hear later that no application was served in the United Kingdom court or the American court and that they could not retain the information. So, the information transmitted and its destination should be identified. Then an application can be made in court… 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
