• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: must resolve and direct the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to put aside that policy and allow creation of new schools. We must set an upper limit, maybe 500, 700 or 800, so that when we have a school, we have a definition in terms of enrolment, so that we avoid congestion and ensure that there is delivery of quality services to learners. Hon. Deputy Speaker: Okay. Hon. Lekumontare Jackson. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, could I contribute to the next Motion? view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I join the rest of my colleagues in conveying condolences to the family of the late Sen. Victor Prengei. I remember about a week ago, I shared a table over lunch together with Hon. Chelule and as has been stated, this is the first indigenous Member of Parliament from one of the greatest ethnic minorities, the Ogiek. We indeed note that it is a blow to this community that was beginning to enjoy the provisions of the Constitution of affirmative action through representation. So, may the good Lord rest his soul in eternal peace. I thank you. view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to join the rest of the Members and Kenyans in mourning Senator Victor Prengei. I did not have an opportunity to know him much, but I share a lot with him. This is because as you will remember in 2014 just a year after elections and my joining this House, I equally suffered a road accident that left me in this wheel chair. It is very painful for a small community to lose the only hope they had in this august House. I, therefore, hope that for the sake ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I can remember very well that I also share something with the Member. I am also the first ever elected woman from my community, the Kuria. So, I know what it means to be a minority and small community. Therefore, I join the people of Nakuru and the youth of Kenya in mourning their Senator. I equally ask that we continue to observe traffic rules and wear our safety belts because we continue losing Kenyans on the highways and roads. Therefore, allow me this opportunity to send my sincere condolences and sympathies to the people of Nakuru and the family ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. On my own behalf and my family, I also want to pass my sincere condolences to the family of Senator Victor Prengei, who was a good friend of mine. I have known him as a very quiet, soft-spoken person and someone who had a big vision as a leader in this country. I happen to have shared experiences with the late Senator when he had problems with his party Jubilee, on how to navigate the challenges. This is because as you are aware, I went through the same challenges with my ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I pray that the Almighty God rests his soul in eternal peace. view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill because it clearly seeks to address a very important issue of administration and looks at ways in which to include management and regulation of irrigation matters in Clauses 3, 4 and 5. In Kenya today, we have irrigation schemes in Ahero, Bunyala and West Kano in Western Kenya. We also have irrigation schemes in Mwea, Hola, Bura and the Galana Kulalu Project. As we look at those irrigation schemes, given the potential that they can provide in terms of performance, a major ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Tourism in our country is a critical service industry. Countries that have invested in tourism pride in earning huge income through service industry. In fact, the number of tourists who visit organised nations are more than the population. We have potential as a country. The petition before this House is the plight of tour guides sitting only in a board. It is important that this group of workers are accommodated in the board so that we can promote tour guides’ work in this country. The first stopping point of any tourist is the tour guides. With ... view
