• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. This matter has come before this House on several occasions. I think the approach which has been taken now is ideal but, unfortunately, it is not timely. In principle, I support the idea because this is what came out when Kenyans were giving their views on the kind of Constitution they desired. It is important for Kenyans to be given their desires. The 20 years sunset period is good because it gives us time. I think there was lack of preparedness at the time when ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: problems with cultural behaviour and beliefs which have hampered the development of the gender issues in various parts of the country. I am sure if enough time is given for awareness, it will be easier to implement this than having to give positions to people when they are not prepared. Either way, the period which has been given is appropriate because it will create opportunities for everyone in the country. We have on several occasions come to the realisation that in some places like schools, the boy-child is being affected by too much talk about the girls. I hope that ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I keep quoting the Rwanda situation where there was genocide. When President Kagame decided to have more women in Government, there has been peace and a lot of progress. This is because women tend to be more peaceful than men and it is easier to carry out certain assignments through women. You will find that even in the places we come from, the churches are for all. But many times when we go to churches or religious places, you will mostly find women. That is why there has been a lot of peace in those churches until they get invaded ... view
• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Bill. I support it based on the fact that such services are very important. The Bill is important to human life. The problem is lack of information about what is to be provided for what, where and to whom. Sometimes there is fear that some of the services may be costly. This leaves our people in a very awkward situation. Sometimes people get ailments which can be cured through certain methods. However, because of what I have just said, they leave that and end up getting ... view

• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: Licensed practitioners must always display their licences prominently at the premises of their practice so that everybody knows that so and so is a practising occupational therapist. The other aspect with human nature is that everybody wishes to be recognised. Such display will also serve as a way of recognising physiotherapists. Such recognition will motivate the practitioners in the profession. Of course, the professionals in this area may have started with small entities but because of varied knowledge, there has been diversification. Initially, medical practitioners could treat an ailment within an area by just injecting it with medicine. However, they ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: cent of our population, which is a large proportion. Young people deserve to be considered for these awards for us to be seen to be fair to all ages. I can see it is supposed to be between the ages of 14 and 24 years. That is important because it is the formative stage of the young people into mature persons. So, it is very important that we recognise them from an early age. The future of any nation depends on her young people. It depends on how the society brings the young people up. If we can start appreciating ... view
