• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to support this important amendment. The Bill was passed in 2013 and we are in 2016, which is a long time and the Bill should have been operationalised by now. A number of sectors in this country have developed since Independence to where we are now through many collaborative efforts both locally and externally, but the problem has been the local effort through which we have developed our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: schools. In the harambee spirit, there was no legal mechanism through which this could be monitored. A law was passed in this House in the 8th Parliament to do away with harambees and that is the time NGOs were coming in. There was a lot of corruption because NGOs could bring in items for relief, which ended up being sold in the local market. That is still happening. Some of the rations that come from Government stores or parastatals are sold. This law is going to allow for transparency. It is going to either minimize or remove the aspect of ... view

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am very sorry. I just wanted to welcome the pupils who are here to see what is happening in Parliament, particularly the ones from Vihiga. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion because chaplains are religious people who come from the sponsoring churches.

I think it seeks to formalise the role of chaplains in schools. The chaplains are there but the church may just decide to send somebody in an ad hoc manner. Maybe, somebody is just sent to a school because of a function like prayers in preparation for the examinations. This should be formalised ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: it was when I was at the University of Nairobi (UoN). This will deal with a lot of matters. It is not only about praying for the students, but they will also help in guiding and counselling them. When there is an issue, we can have somebody to make reference to. The other day, the CS made a very drastic statement that students who burn schools will face the law on their own. That contravenes the law. The only thing to do is to take those students to rehabilitation centres. You cannot jail them. Deploying chaplains is a process that ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, considering that it is an issue we understand, I support. Thank you. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the way the amendments have been done. The Constitution we have in place now allows for consultations at all levels. This is one of the aspects where the working between the Senate and the National Assembly comes in handy because whatever we are trying to derive like the issue of exploration, development and production of petroleum is a national resource which is going to benefit all Kenyans irrespective of where they come from or wherever their role or status. So it is very important that this has been done the way it ... view
