• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Bill. I rise here to support this Bill because of one reason. I come from Cherangany and the people of Cherangany have told me to support this Bill. My wife has also told me to support it. There were many things that needed to be changed when this Constitution came into being, and this is one of them. I support those Members who have stood here today and said we should not be talking about adding more Members in Parliament, but we need to look for a way ... view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Empower women by educating them and giving them the tools to be able to compete with anybody else. If somebody comes to my constituency and competes with me as a woman and wins, that is the best option for this country. view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Like Hillary Clinton, Hon. Speaker. The United States of America (USA), a country that has had independence for very many years - 96 to 100 years - has never had a Bill to force people to vote for a woman. However, they are, for the first time, going to vote for a woman as the President. That is real democracy. It is a democracy that gives people the power to select people who are competitive and people who will represent them well. That is what I support. So, what we should be doing is going to the Constitution and deleting ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be as quick as possible so that another Member can get an opportunity too. The Motion is well represented. It captures the challenges that we are facing in this country. Our kids are not growing into people we want them to be because they are aping modern culture. We see a lot of immorality, schools burning and many other things that we do not want our kids to go through. As a House, it is our responsibility to make laws and advise the Government on better ways to solve the challenges that ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as much as we want the Government to do the job of deploying the chaplains, I wonder what will be the work of the churches that are sponsors of these schools. Most schools have the saint name and are either sponsored by Catholic Church, African Inland Church (AIC), Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) or any other religious organisations. That should be the responsibility of those churches. Once you have shown interest as a church to sponsor certain schools, there will be no financial contribution you The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: will make. Most of those churches do not make any financial contribution. Most of these schools are built by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). It is not appropriate for us now to ask the Government to deploy chaplains. This should be the responsibility of the churches that sponsor schools. view

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, since these churches have board representatives, we should urge them to finance and pay for the chaplains who will take care of children in our schools. When I was a child, there was a programme that helped me a lot. It was the PPI that was conducted every Friday in the morning. I remember it was during this time that I gave my life to Jesus Christ and got saved. I was not a good kid, but that programme changed my life. So, we should encourage these programmes to be conducted in schools. The education coordinators ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I am here. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. When we open the mausoleum to the public, most of us will know what is in that tomb. We always see two soldiers standing at the entrance, but we have no idea of what is inside the tomb. Opening the mausoleum to the public will not only give students an opportunity to visit this Chamber, but also the tomb. As we move to the Third Reading, we should expand it to a museum, so that we can bring in more items that people can learn from. In Rwanda, ... view
