• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. First and foremost, I want to congratulate the Mover. As you are aware, 65 per cent of the population of this country consists of the youth and majority of them are not employed. I want also to inform the House that it is so unfortunate today that the youth agenda is being discussed as a Private Member’s Motion.

• 14 May 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to inform the hon. Member that the Committee took a position on that but, at the time of compiling the report, for some of us who are very new, we were convinced that if we put that in the report, it is going to destroy the future of that lady of getting a job.

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my name is Abass Mohamed, Member for Wajir East. I rise to support the Motion. As you are aware, as a result of improved health services, this country’s lifespan is increasing to above 60 years. Many of our people are getting old, but there is no help for them. Besides that, due to the economic constraints and housing problems, the old people are neglected especially in urban areas. There is also westernization that has come to our country, and most of us are not taking care of our parents. In addition to that, the people who ... view
