• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I add my voice to this important Motion, I would like to start by saying that we have enough laws in this country to curb gender violence. The major challenge we are facing as a country is purely on implementation. When we talk about the policy, children and gender offices in our country, you will realise that those offices are entrusted to curb gender violence in our country. But when you look at the performance and the weaknesses that we are facing as a country, and how our people are suffering, we have ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: ourselves on the Floor of this House with such kind of a Motion which is very important and key when you look at the situation we are facing in our country today. There are a lot of iniquities and our people are suffering in silence. Allow me to support my colleague, Hon. Jessica who has proposed this Motion. If we can devolve this important facility up to the lowest level, you will find that those who are suffering in silence will find an opportunity of coming up to be assisted. As we speak, almost 90 per cent of culprits are ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Allow me first to congratulate my leader and good neighbour for coming up with this Motion. Because I have only one minute, I would wish to say that I am the Member for Nyatike. My constituency borders Suba South where my mother comes from and Suba North where my wife comes from, so this matter directly affects me as the Member for Nyatike. The interest Ugandan people have in Migingo, which does not come out clearly, you will agree with me all the breeding beaches in Lake Victoria are ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, protect me from Hon. ole Sankok. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Allow me to highlight a number of issues which compel me to support this Motion. When you look at youth training in this country and the numbers we are training, you will agree with me that NYS is second, after our universities. A training college where 26,000 youths are being accommodated is something we cannot take for granted. If there are shortcomings, it is our responsibility as a House to see how we can fix them and make that institution work. Currently, we give our youth at the NYS paramilitary training and there is no difference between the training we ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: we should sit back and watch the military do the same training and recruitment as talents endowed in the NYS servicemen and servicewomen get wasted. I would urge this House, and especially the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, to pick from this Motion and come up with a very clear model on training of youth in the military and other disciplined services. It is a waste of public funds to train youth at the NYS and dispel them and then we allow Kenya Defence Forces and other disciplined services to recruit other youths, give them similar training and ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is important for us as a House to agree that those who will be recruited into our disciplined services are those who will have gone through the NYS training so that we avoid duplication of paramilitary training. Training of the recruits by the disciplined services will start from where they left at the NYS. This will save the country money and ensure that the youth of this country are treated fairly. As the Mover of the Motion said, currently, we do not know where the youth who have been discharged from NYS are. We are currently grappling with issues ... view

• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion which is before us. Allow me to start by congratulating my sister for the elaborate presentation she has made. When we talk about cancer there are so many fundamental questions we need to ask ourselves. First, why is it cheaper for us to treat our cancer patients in India compared to Kenya? This is a question which if we got an answer will help us to establish and manage this problem as a country. You can find that when you transport a patient from Kenya to India, including ... view
