• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I echo my colleagues by saying happy new year to all the Members. We are happy we never had casualties during the long recess. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy because to the best of my understanding, everybody is back. There was no causality during the long holidays when many people enjoyed themselves to death. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I stand to support this very important and timely Bill. Accreditation is everything in making sure that the right things are at the right place at the right time. But when accreditation is not credible, that is when we have problems. We are normally very good in putting things on paper, but when it comes to the actual implementation, maybe because of corruption and other cultures within us, we dilute the very important and nice things that we put on paper. For example, I hear that this basket called kiondo which was born in Central Kenya is patented by another ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the deletion. This is the Warehouse Receipts System Bill. This system will regulate warehouses nationally, but not locally. If you allow that, every place where we have a warehouse the CEC will regulate it. Then we will have 47 warehouse receipt systems. In that case, it beats logic. Therefore, since this is a system, it has to be regulated. Although the Bill originated from the Senate, there was another one which originated from the National Assembly before. The essence of this is to have one regulatory system all over the country. Therefore, ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that roads in Gither Ward in Mandera West Constituency are in bad condition, impassable with huge potholes and rocks that even the national examinations were being delivered by helicopters for schools? b) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that roads in Gither Ward in Mandera West Constituency are constructed to all weather standards? view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Motion. It is a very important Motion because many of our youths who drop out of school join technical colleges but after completing training, they are not accredited. So, they do not get The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: authentic certificates. Therefore, they are not employable. Although they have the skills, they are not employable. Where they are employed, because they do not have the necessary accreditation and certificates, they are poorly paid. Their wages are so low like those of casual labourers who have not gone through any form of training. This is because the examination centres are too far from most of the constituencies. For example, once one completes training in Mandera West Constituency, one can only come to Nairobi for accreditation. Nairobi is 1,100 kilometres away from Mandera. The cost of travel and other expenses is ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (a) When is the deadline for acquisition of the new generation national passport, popularly referred to as the “e-passport”? (b) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that there are many Kenyan students in foreign countries, including over 500 students studying in Turkey, who might not be in a position to travel back to the country for the purpose of acquiring the said passports? (c) Could the Ministry consider facilitating all Kenyan embassies, including Kenyan Embassy in Istanbul, Turkey, to enable them issue the said ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Report. I thank the Committee led by eminent friend for having come up with such a Report. The convenors of our Constitution realised that funding political parties is an important support to the development of democracy. Hence, the Political Parties Fund that is enshrined in the Constitution and receives 0.3 per cent of the national revenue was well-thought of. It has not just come by accident. It must have been found to be necessary in order to develop our democracy. Problems emerge when it comes to ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: These regulations have to be looked at. There are days when we had the monopoly of one party. I remember it was KANU. If you were interested in any political position but the KANU mandarins did not like you, even if you were liked by the masses, you would not get it. During the era of mlolongo voting, you could have the longest queue of supporters behind you but if the party leadership did not like you, your long queue would be swapped with your rival’s short queue and your rival would be declared the winner. Those days are gone. ... view
