• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: we have today. There was litter everywhere. The governor has tried his best. If all the 47 county governments can do the same, we would reduce problems associated with a dirty environment. I also want to touch on water pollution especially in Kerio Valley. Rivers around the Fluorspar Company are affected because the company has not maintained the environment around it. Most of the chemicals from the factory are discharged to the rivers around. The communities living around there draw water for drinking and other domestic uses from the rivers. Animals also drink from the rivers. As a result, a ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for this opportunity. I support this amendment, specifically because it will provide an opportunity for nursing mothers to care for their babies and have babies breastfed for as long as they still need the mother’s milk. I support. Thank you. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support that proposed amendment by the Committee Chair because if we do not have a qualified CEO to run the affairs of the health facilities and also if we do not involve the governor’s office, then it means we are going to be out of touch in terms of health provision in the county. view

• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker for this golden opportunity. I support this Bill. This is a very important Bill because it is going to distribute the resources of Kenya to all counties, especially the marginalised communities who will benefit from this Equalisation Fund. Secondly, I want to talk about the national irrigation and fertiliser issue. Currently we are running the Galana National Irrigation Scheme and we are lumping a lot of money there. I would have liked to use this scheme for experimental purposes so that it runs as a pilot scheme. We put less money there and take ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Initially we thought NYS was a good and noble idea, but it is not giving us desirable results. Our youth cannot get employed. They trained for six months, graduated and now they are idling around. They do not have anywhere to go. They cannot practise skills that they were trained on. In any case they did not get skills, maybe paramilitary skills and they cannot use them. So, we need to redesign the NYS programme and make sure that the youth get relevant skills. We should change the way the programme is run. Lastly, I want to talk about education. ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this minute. I thank Hon. Mwaura for this gesture on PLWDs. We want to empower them, but we cannot do so if they cannot access buildings and information. As we talk of Affirmative Action Social Development Fund which has been given to Women Representatives to run, there are a lot of challenges in the quest to empower PLWDs to access the funds, information and work on their own. So, this Bill is going to empower them so that they can work with little support from people who take care of them. ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I support the Bill. It is very important to have the Office of the Controller of Budget. In the past, ministries budgeted for resources and the end result was misuse or shortages of resources. An office like this will control the revenue that is collected. It will also appropriately distribute resources to the various organs of the Government now that we are in devolution and most of the resources are sent to the counties. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if there is no proper control to monitor the use of those resources in counties, it can easily create a problem. His office is also supposed to work independently without any influence of any sort from any quarters so that public resources can be well taken care of and distributed in an equitable manner through the county governments. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: In the past, some counties or communities were short-changed, especially those counties which were not sending enough revenue to the national Government. Such regions would get fewer resources. Today, we have counties which are less developed than others because those The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
