• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want my colleagues to side with me in this amendment. The education policy is very clear. Children should not go to school during the holiday. There should not be any activities related to learning during the holiday. Asking a kid who is, say, one, two or three years old to go for tuition is unacceptable. I ask the Chair of the Committee to simply withdraw that particular provision because it goes against policy and it is generally harmful to the kids. Kids need to be kids. They need to be allowed to play during school ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I oppose the proposed amendment. 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
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I fully support the amendment. However, as it has been the practice throughout, there is no timeline which is given to the authorities to make a decision. They can take a year or ignore a matter all the same. I do not know how we can do it procedurally. Whenever authorities are given discretion to make a decision, there must be a timeline within which to make that decision. Giving them an open cheque means that they are bound to abuse the discretion. It really is not a fair administrative practice to do that. We need ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support but I am just wondering whether the spirit is to criminalise simple administrative mistakes that might happen all along like forgetting to enter the records of the child and other small things. The punishment seems to be too punitive. It is okay if it is to prevent any administrative mistakes but we should not punish administrative mistakes punitively. Thank you. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not a ranking Member of the Committee but I am an active Member. I am seized of the update of the matter. The Cabinet Secretary came to answer Questions that were asked much earlier and he said he had not received the second set of Questions, which includes the one by Hon. Tim Wanyonyi and many other Members. He undertook to come back to us on either 27th or 28th of this month to answer the remaining set of Questions. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We asked our team of clerks to compile all the Questions that are pending and forward them to his office to prepare answers in readiness for either date. So, I seek his indulgence that we will communicate to him in good time for him to be present to receive the answer from the Cabinet Secretary on that date. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation and I had an opportunity to listen to the presenters and other stakeholders. I do not want to repeat what my colleagues have said about public participation and the rest. Just allow me to make a few comments and specifically with regard to various provisions. I was alarmed like any other Member of the Committee by a provision that gave the Officer Commanding a Police Station (OCS) unfettered authority to call upon the private security guards to provide security in national ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Committee’s decision that calls for the annulment of the Regulations. They need to be thoroughly reworked on before they are brought before the Committee for review and approval. view
