• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I congratulate Hon. Keter for bringing this Bill. As previous speakers have said, the rate of unemployment in this country is over 60 per cent. When the youth apply for jobs, they face so many bottlenecks. They are required to comply with so many requirements such as producing Certificates of Good Conduct, clearance certificates from the CRB, among many other certificates. Complying with these requirements takes much time and money. By the time you get the certificates, the time frame for application has already lapsed. The cost of implication is also ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The other day, some nursing jobs were advertised in the United Kingdom. Some 3,000 vacancies were available, but we had more than 20,000 applicants for the jobs. For every one job in Kenya, we have about 4,000 applications. It becomes very difficult when we have so many people applying for jobs and at the end of the day, only one becomes successful. So, we need to see how people can get jobs as well as be self-employed. We have the Uwezo Fund, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the Women Enterprise Development Fund. The ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: four to five years. By that time, whatever you wanted to do like giving notice will not have been done. We need to have an ombudsman since we have an employment tribunal so as to speed up anything in the contracts which cannot be solved through arbitration. Earlier, Hon. Sankok mentioned about the Express Way. I want to put it on record that the superhighway being done will cost Kshs60 billion and not even a coin of the Government is in that contract. It is being done through the public private partnership and is a buy operate and transfer (BOT) ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I agree. That is what I wanted to point out. Hon. Ichung’wah is covering both the CEO and the SRC. So, I agree. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to reply. When I brought this Bill, the Leader of the Majority Party complained that we did not need it. The essence of the Bill was lost in partisanship. When I brought the initial Bill in 2018/2019, it had gone round to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and it went to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning twice... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it was not lost on the Floor of the House. It was lost in the committees because it took more than three years to come to the Floor of the House. My colleague says it was misplaced but in the process, it finally made it here. When the Parliamentary Budget Office came to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Budget and Appropriations Committee, they recommended... With this Bill in place, the saving culture in the country will improve. They even said that the money going to the Exchequer will be more than what ... view
