• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: This Sessional Paper also brings to our attention the need that, as we advance as a nation in technology, to ensure that the technology is gender sensitive for the youth, the elderly and to people with disabilities to have the opportunity to benefit from technologies. If the technologies are tailored to their needs, a number of issues that affect our development will be addressed. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: This Sessional Paper comes at a time when the country is grappling with a number of political issues. This has been well captured in the recently launched BBI Report. It brings on board a number of constitutional amendments which provide men and women opportunities to adequately participate in the development of this country. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: At the same time, it proposes a number of legislations which give the youth, women and people with disabilities the opportunity to contribute to this nation. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: It is for this reason that the Sessional Paper is a wonderful framework that will embrace some of the changes that have begun to take place. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, regionally, Kenya is not alone. It is learning from what is happening in neighbouring countries like Rwanda and Uganda, that have gone a little bit ahead in terms of policy frameworks that address gender. If we embrace this Sessional Paper, it will provide us with a step forward in terms of fitting into the regional discourses and transformations. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Sessional Paper. Thank you very much. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Petition on grounds of accountability. We should stand our ground and question the leadership of the universities on some of their decisions. In the 1990s and early 2010, universities went on massive expansion without the approval of the right institutions. Since they are now dry of students from respective catchments, they are closing campuses without considering the damage that will have on communities. We must hold them accountable. I support. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I agree with what Members have said about the timely consideration of this Bill. I will say a few things that will kind of embarrass this country. Disasters have been a common phenomenon in this country because of the nature of the climatic conditions, that is, the erratic nature of the rains and also the level of our development.

Such lands also act as a buffer to surface running water. If this Bill goes through, the Authority’s major issue will be to ensure that this country has proper ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: For the first time in my constituency, we suffered a huge landslide which we have never seen before. I guess this is because of unmanaged infrastructural development. This includes the massive roads that have been opened up by the county government and which are poorly manned and maintained. That body will help in ensuring that whatever we do on the landscape is well coordinated. Also, whoever is responsible for providing the right services to ensure disasters do not bring much loss should be followed and held accountable. view
