• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: therefore, not much was reported in terms of preparedness. We are talking about the expansion of infrastructure in schools, upgrading of the same infrastructure, provision of water and sanitation services. However, many Members will agree with me that there is nothing much to celebrate about in those areas. As much as we must open the doors for pupils and student early next year, the report does not give us indicative plans to ensure that proper infrastructure and proper water services will be in place. The President has been very categorical. He talks of, at least, 12,500 new classrooms, but I ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Report. The concept of economic zones is actually the string of our economic growth. The idea of these amendments gives us the opportunity to reflect once again on the areas that we can deal with to ensure that as a nation we have expanded our economy to provide opportunities and earnings to the majority of Kenyans who are unable to put food on their tables.

• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on this particular amendment, the Committee should guide this House and provide an opportunity to include some of the recent transformative actions that this Government is taking, including the Big Four Agenda on Manufacturing. While dealing with that, we also need to look back and ask: What is the base for this particular move to ensure that every region has something to celebrate when it comes to industrialization and manufacturing? Other than what my colleague, Hon. Makali has said, I will support this amendment. I will also see it as an opportunity for the Committee to ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Anthony Kiai, for bringing this matter to the House. We are the shepherds. Our sheep have no hope in this pandemic unless we stand to address the challenges that they are facing. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: The experience that has been narrated by Hon. Kiai is heart touching. Early this afternoon, we discussed about a situation where one of our colleagues has passed away. We are not sure about the circumstances under which he passed away. Now we are here listening to a case where God has rescued one of our colleagues to come and tell his story. This House is privileged to stand firm and protect the Constitution of this country, especially Article 43 on human rights. We are talking about the NHIF which is supposed to cover the expenses that Kenyan citizens meet when ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I begin by supporting this policy framework on gender and development on a number of grounds. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: By the intelligence of the Almighty, men and woman were created and so were the youth and the elderly. For the accomplishment of our role as human beings and also attainment of our prosperity, we need to engage all the gender in every way possible to make sure that the gifts and talents that they have been given are well used to transform humanity in general. As a nation, Kenya has made a number of strides towards ensuring that gender is mainstreamed into development and that both the young and old and men and women are given a chance to ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: number of areas that have been acting as obstacles. I believe that this Sessional Paper brings out the challenges and tries to bring in options and solutions to how the challenges can be addressed. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: When we look at various sectors, we find that a certain gender is more sidelined. In education, the girl child has her challenges. I know programmes like menstruation management have been introduced, but they have not been successful. This Sessional Paper brings to the attention of those who are responsible of the management of the very sensitive programmes to ensure that they are accountable and that the programmes achieve the objectives they are set to achieve. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: When we talk about gender development, we are talking about health for men and women, especially the safety of women, access to health services especially for women who form the foundation of the family and access to essential facilities, at the family level, like water and electricity. When we address the challenges of accessing them, we are talking about offering opportunity for men and women to participate in development. view
