• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: So, my only advice to the chairperson and his commissioners is: Once they assume their responsibilities, they should treat Kenya as one country and serve the interests of everybody. There must be good leadership in KNCHR in order for it to fulfill its mandate. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the creation of the commissions was a way of trying to move away from the centralised system that we were used to. So, we expect that they should work independently, fulfill their mandates without any bias or without reference to any other authority or anybody else. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is also gratifying that the people who have been shortlisted here are properly schooled and qualified. I think that should be the basis upon which they can build on and provide good leadership within KNCHR, so that it can serve Kenyans equally. The team should be one that can be able to work effectively. There is something The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: that happened in this country when we were creating the earlier commissions. We looked at the provinces we had. That is the reason we have commissions having nine members. That is because we had eight provinces and so, we had to have one commissioner per province. However, we realised that, that was going to be very costly and that is why I want to congratulate this House for reducing the number of commissioners. In the subsequent commissions, like the one we have just approved the nominees earlier and in this one, the number of commissioners has been reduced to five. ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I support. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to make a few comments about the Uwezo Fund. It is a milestone and it has taken quite a lot of ideas and a lot of time for us to finally come up with the Uwezo Fund. We started off with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the Women Enterprise Development Fund. But finally, all this has been brought together so that we can have sufficient funds to run the affairs of women and youth in the constituencies and counties. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have not said that they are not there, but there is an improvement on that. The others remain.

• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: gave birth to us. She is still there, but we are also here. Therefore, it is an improvement and the amount of money involved is good for a start. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we were talking about capacity building. I think it is also a very good starting point because in most of the projects that we have done, people are just doing them blindly. But here, at least, there is a provision for that. On what hon. Members have said here about the embezzlement of funds, we should be alert because we have seen what is happening with the governors. ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I am saying it is a noble idea and all of us must support it. Thank you. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to join my colleagues to wish my colleagues here a prosperous new year and welcome them back. This is a very important Bill. I would say that it has been long overdue. There have been quite a number of attempts by successive Governments, but whatever was done was not properly organized, co-ordinated and documented. However, I think the new Constitution has helped us a great deal by being specific on a number of issues, for example, the issue of the youth and gender and so on. When I look at the ... view
