Passaris Esther Muthoni

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, allow me to pass my condolences to the family members of the late Albert Ojwang’. The autopsy results are already out, and it shows that he went through a brutal death. It is really sad. We are in a month when we want reparation and...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to commend the ministry for the work that they are doing. They recently brought back a group of Kenyans who were stranded in Myanmar. They had been taken there by rogue agents to go and work yet, there was no work. They got stranded...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Nairobi is normally neglected. The failure of various counties to introduce devolution effectively has caused congested urbanisation in Nairobi. The fact that we have too many informal settlements means that insecurity is high. As we review and expand the criteria for hardship allowances, I would...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to convey my deep sorrow and profound gratitude as I join the Catholic faithful around the world in mourning the passing of the late Pope Francis, a shepherd who led with humility, courage and boundless love.The late Pope Francis showed us...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. To the Cabinet Secretary through the Speaker, I want to talk about what Hon. Oundo has said on the issue of children. We know that in Kenya, we have many defiled children. We also have many children who engage in sex before they reach the age...

I have a burning one. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As we sit here, I want to bring it to the attention of the Cabinet Secretary that Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) had stalled for eight years. I was in the Departmental Committee on Health in the last...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I commend Hon. Joyce Kamene for bringing up this matter. I agree with Hon. Rachel Nyamai that there is a new world order. This is a time for us as a country to reflect on how Singaporeans decided to decisively deal with corruption and the...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health regarding the status of security at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) . Security at healthcare facilities is foundational in providing safe...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I welcome the students from Loreto Convent, Cornerstone, and the ones from Kiambu County. Students come to observe and understand what the Government is doing. I take this opportunity to tell them to work hard. Your parents and Government are working very hard to ensure...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I noticed that the Committee was at the KNH while I was away at the Pan-African Parliament. However, my question has not been fully answered. Let me talk about the issue of Gilbert Kinyua. The family got in touch with me when I was in South...

Hon. Speaker, while I know that Parliament has immunity to discuss everything, I will sit with Susan, the wife of the deceased. She told me that her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. We appreciate whatever care the hospital provided, but one thing they needed to provide, which they did...

Hon. Speaker, I stand here very disheartened because I hear one story from the family and another from the Chairperson of the Committee. We have a family in distress, a family in need, and it is not premature to discuss compensation. On the date the incident happened, were the surveillance...

With the way Hon. (Dr) Nyikal talked, I feel that the patient next to Gilbert is a suspect. For me, I noted that a knife with blood was found near the hospital. I recently saw something in South Africa. Similarly, they have high crime rates like Kenya. The police should...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just thought in the interest of gender, we should also have a woman speak to the passing of Prince Karim Al Husseini, Aga Khan IV. What I know is that, as soon as he assumed office at the age of 20, he passed two resolutions...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Together with Hon. Majimbo Kalasinga, Hon. Rahab Mukami, and Sen. Mungatana and Sen. (Prof.) Kamar from the Senate, I am very proud to be a Kenyan Member of Parliament and to serve in the Pan-African Parliament. It is an honour to...

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. The National Gender and Equality Commission was founded in 2011 – that is 13 years ago - just after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, with the idea of driving the two-thirds gender rule agenda. To date, we have failed to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I wanted to speak to the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill which has been concluded. I commend the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. If we want to deal with corruption, it is important...

On a point of order Hon. Deputy Speaker? What is your point of order, Hon. Passaris? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like the Member to withdraw the statement, “misbehave like school children.” Our school children do not misbehave. This is too generalised and stereotyping. When some youth misbehave,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address. It was one of the best State of the Nation addresses I have ever heard. It was real, humble and progressive. It showed the areas which the President has focused on...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We are saddened that we keep having fire incidents in Nairobi and we keep losing lives. A few months ago, a mother lost three of her children. Today, a father has died with three children, a mother has died with one child and a man...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The debate on this has been concluded. It is now your turn to reply. Yes. Okay. You may proceed. Before I reply, I want to address some concerns regarding the SHIF and SHA that we have been discussing. I believe this will be amazing because...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply to the Motion on Comprehensive Reform of Education Bursary Schemes to ensure Free Basic Education in Kenya. I have listened to my colleagues. There are those who supported, and others opposed. For my life, I cannot understand why any Member of Parliament and...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Recently, my party leader, Raila Odinga, said that Members of Parliament should perform their roles of legislation, oversight and representation. Most of these funds should be put in areas that serve the people. Hon. Raphael Wanjala also said that education is an equaliser. Education has...

Ahsante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Ni kweli. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to Hon. Irene Mayaka's Environment Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to amend the law on the issue of cultivation of the eucalyptus tree. What is Hon. Irene Mayaka’s...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know you called my Question when I was not here. I apologise. We have a delegation from China and I had asked a question to the delegation and I had to wait for the answer. It would have been unparliamentary to ask a question to...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary–

Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, through the Speaker. I recently took a young girl who had not gone to school because her parents had no money to buy uniforms. This was a public school in Nairobi County. The cost of mattresses, blankets and everything the family needed was Ksh30,000. That transition...
