Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to request for Statement by Hon. Joseph Gitari on the promotion of curriculum support officers in the country. In 1963, the Government established the Teachers Advisory Centers (TACs) with the mandate to provide in-service courses to...

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will not answer those questions now. I will take the questions to the Committee, and then we will seek further clarifications.

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Hon. Speaker, this is, indeed, a very serious issue. I just wanted to note that the support given to women Members of Parliament for advocacy against gender-based violence is not sufficient. Furthermore, it is only given to women Members of Parliament and county Women...

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Sabina. I appreciate you bringing forth this Motion. There is need to increase the quality of care and services as proposed in the Motion. I want to touch on two areas. The issue is not about infrastructure because most public institutions...

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have just mentioned that we need a room where my caregiver can bring the child, and I can take a break to breastfeed. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) In this case, you are in the middle of your contribution...

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Supplementary budgets are very important because they allow the Government to respond to emerging circumstances and address urgent needs affecting the people of Kenya. However, are we in order as a House to depart from procedure and tradition where...

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Report, but I wish to make some observations. As a House and as a country, we can certainly do better than this. We are witnessing an excessive number of supplementary budgets. Supplementary budgets...

Chair, could the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy explain why there is a reduction of Ksh520 million from Project 1152109701 for rural electrification schemes? We know very well that there is a need for more rural electrification because many...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I see a reduction of Ksh600, 000,000 from the National Social Safety Net. We should get a clarification and the reasons why. For more than three years, the elderly have not been registered. There is a good number of people who have achieved the age...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I join my colleagues in demanding that we increase the budget for IPOA. There is an increasing number of cases that are affecting police officers. It is not only murder, like the disgusting one where someone was killed in the police station, but many others,...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a good job. In particular, I appreciate the amount of fairness and the manner in which they have tried to address the issue of equity in the distribution of resources.

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill.

Hon. Mary Emaase (Teso South, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The truth is that every constituency has a pocket of marginalised or hardship area. What plans does the Ministry have to review all these areas across the country and identify hardship areas? In some areas in Teso South when we...
