• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that these accidents happened after this House put in place strict measures to curb the menace. If the Traffic Amendment Act, 2017 which was passed in this House was implemented, these accidents and many others could have been avoided. The painting of school buses in yellow colour was not meant for cosmetic purposes but to identify school buses which flout the traffic rules that were put in place by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. It was spelled out that the school buses must travel between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. at ... view

• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. Pursuant to Standing Order No.43, I seek leave of the House for the purpose of discussing the frequent arrests made on Fridays or public holidays and stretching to weekends, targeting honourable Members of Parliament, senior public officers and other members of the public. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: During those arrests, the people are denied police bonds or cash bail and they end up spending the entire weekend in police cells. The arrests are organised in such a way that they are against the constitutional rights of the suspects. The arrests, therefore, amount to intimidation, harassment and frustration of suspects. It is for this reason and with your indulgence that I seek the leave of the House to discuss this very serious matter on frequent arrests on Fridays and public holidays; and stretching throughout the weekends. Thank you. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In the recent past, we have experienced several arrests being made to Members of Parliament, other senior public officers and members of the public, particularly on Fridays. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The officers from DCI and the general police force, usually pounce on the members of the public and other senior public officers, arrest them, take them to the police stations and keep them in custody throughout the weekend without according them bonds so that they can appear in court the following Monday or the following day and be charged. Article 49(1) provides that an arrested person has the right to be released on bond or bail on reasonable conditions, pending a charge or trial unless they are compelling reasons not to be released on bond. On several instances, there have ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 53(1)(c) of the Constitution guarantees every child the right to basic nutrition, shelter and health; cognisant of the fact that primary school-aged children are at a stage where a child requires nutritional meals for healthy mental and physical development and growth; aware that school feeding programmes have been implemented in Kenya since the 1980s with varying degrees of success, and with heavy reliance on foreign aid and management; noting that the Kenyan Government introduced a home-grown school feeding programme in 2009, a more sustainable and ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: noting that the feeding programme targets food inequality in the most vulnerable areas of Kenya, including school districts in the Arid and Semi-Arid Areas (ASAL) and the informal urban slums of large cities such as Nairobi and Mombasa; this House urges the Government to expand the primary school feeding programme to all public primary schools in the country. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, universal access to free and compulsory education is a key tenet of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Article 53 (1) (c) of our Constitution guarantees every child basic nutrition, shelter and healthcare. Free primary education was adopted as a State policy in the year 2003. That programme has gained significance and success in Kenya. Still, the feeding programme in the Republic of Kenya, although it is an ongoing project, faces regional inequalities. Children in arid and semi-arid areas are partly enjoying the fruits of that programme. However, in some areas and more particularly the western region ... view
