• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I will not take two more minutes. I will be very fair to the rest of the Members who are here. This is a straightforward matter that requires all our attention. I recommend that, one, facilities in all learning institutions, whether public or private, should be audited afresh and certified that they are safe for our children. Two, all schools that are not authorised, whether private or public, should not be given any exception, but should be closed down. Three, the minimum standards for all infrastructure facilities in both public and private schools, as set out in the legal framework, ... view

• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, No12. It is extremely important at this time in this nation when we are reflecting on the status of implementation of the Constitution of Kenya. This is one area that should have been fixed even before the elections of 2013. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Article 81 of the Constitution does not only obligate Parliament, but it obligates all public bodies. It talks of all public bodies. I am drawn from the trade union movement and other organisations and in 2011, we ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to give you critical data. Figures speak and they do not lie. Education has been mentioned as one area that has made tremendous achievements. This is because of the Education for All (EFA) goals of 2000-2015. In 2005, an analysis was done in the education sector in terms of leadership of schools. Data at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) indicated that male teachers were 52 per cent while female teachers were 48 per cent at that time. Those who were in leadership in 2005 were 27 per cent. A lot of work has been done. ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendments proposed by the Chair because of one fundamental reason. Trade union rights are human rights and as such, by bringing such amendments through this process, this House will greatly be infringing on the rights of trade unions. Under Section 41 of the Constitution, it is clearly outlined. I am sure that Section 41 is under the Bill of Rights and it will be fundamentally wrong to bring all these clauses through the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. That is the basic reason. The rights of workers must remain protected. I ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope the Leader of the Majority Party can listen to the contribution I am making. I rise to support this amendment. At the outset, I want to… view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like, as I speak on this matter, to say that one of the reasons why we are in this august House is to make legislation. As I speak on this matter, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the fact that was raised by Hon. (Dr.) Mulu earlier, that the House is in the most important angle of making legislation, that is, the Committee of the whole House. As I make my submission, I want to remind the House that Hon. (Dr.) Mulu had drew our ... view

• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I want to draw the attention of the House that there is a substantive Bill that is addressing a revision of the Children Act 2001, which is still with the Cabinet Secretary. Part of what we are saying… view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Let me conclude. That was preparing a background. As I conclude, what I would like to address is that when we look at Section 59, what we were saying, which Members were concerned about, is if we keep this amendment to Section 59, then this amendment is going to put children in a much more difficult problem because we are going to have children in a safety place where charitable children’s regulations do not apply. view
