• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also join my colleagues in supporting the Bill. This country is now a middle-income country, and needs to grow. Without proper engineers, the country will not grow as we wish. For us to achieve Vision 2030, this country needs to at least have professional engineers. Unfortunately, most of the professional bodies have become closed bodies for a few Kenyans; most Kenyans cannot access them. We cannot have 40 million Kenyans depend on a few bodies. The Engineers Registration Board (ERB) recognises mostly engineers from the University of Nairobi (UON). Kenya has The electronic ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: grown and there are many universities. We cannot only rely on engineers from the UON. The Law Society of Kenya (LSK), the veterinary board, the ERB and the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB) are closed. They seem to recognise only a few universities. This is biased. Our professionals must open up. We need to at least harmonise this Bill with the Act of 2011, so that we can have at least two regulatory bodies. We have so many technicians, craftsmen and artisans who do very good jobs. Though Kenyan engineers are very professional, they are too expensive to ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. The Special Economic Zones Bill is very crucial now. This country’s development has always been within 50-kilometre radius along the railway lines. Today, this Bill gives us the opportunity to have, at least, three economic zones where we will be able to diversify our economy. If it was not for corruption in this country, Kenya would have been an economic tiger like Malaysia and Singapore. Unfortunately, corruption is rampant in this country. The economy is not growing, there is a lot of mishandling of resources and there are ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), we saw many young men and women who have shown great energy and many ideas for producing and becoming entrepreneurs at a very young age. This is actually what we need to tap as a country. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose the amendments. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, democracy does not mean having many parties but rather, conviction and patriotism among the citizenry. Our Constitution provides that if candidates seeking certain party tickets feel aggrieved, they can be independent candidates. Therefore, having many parties will not help. If a party cannot raise five candidates, then there is no need for having many parties. Bigger democracies like India, the United States of America (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) have very few parties. Having many parties will cause disharmony and ethnicity, and it ... view

• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support the Report. It is very unfortunate that today, 52,000 Kenyans cannot access their pension after working for this country. Teaching is a noble profession and most of us have been nurtured by teachers. Today, most of us must say “Thank you” to teachers. The same people who have been taught by the same teachers are becoming ungrateful. The likes of Kimemia and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) leaders do not understand the plight of the teachers. This is very unfortunate. This House must support this Report, so that we can ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will also want to support the amendments to the Bill. As you are aware, this country has free primary education and there are so many students going to secondary schools. As a result of many parents taking their children to school, most of them cannot even afford to pay the examination fees at the time of examination. It is the right time mhe. Wangwe has brought a Bill for a waiver. One other thing is that there are enough resources in this country. We have bursaries both in the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I want to state, for avoidance of doubt, that I stand before you not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
