whom we donated money are enjoying GDPs of unprecedented levels. Take the example of South Korea. Her GDP today is almost 50 times more than that of Kenya. Other examples are Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, among many other countries.

There is one thing I have always wanted to say. In 1968 Kenya hosted the first batch of public health officers from the Republic of Botswana, which was newly created then. We trained the officers at the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). Almost 50 years down the line, the KMC is a shell while Botswana Meat Commission supplies processed meat not only to Africa but also to the entire European Union (EU) countries. We are in a sorry state of affairs. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know why the red light is on. I have barely started replying. I ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my time has to be respected. I have 30 minutes. I have donated 10 minutes. I believe I still have 20 minutes but I will take the shortest time possible.

Thank you. I believe I have your protection. I will take the shortest time possible. This great Republic cries for the attention and commitment of each and every leader. The youth of the Republic of Kenya are supposed to emulate us in every aspect – socially, politically, economically and spiritually. The kind of example that we provide as leaders is wanting. When you appoint a jester and a charlatan to head a critical agency like the YEDF, what do you expect? Mr. Bruce Odhiambo did not qualify for appointment as the chairperson of this critical youth oriented organisation. To the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sure that my good friend knows that being an old boy of St. Mary’s School does not mean that one is qualified. He might have failed at the first entry-level. I urge my brother to read this Report. From our investigations, we concluded that Dominic Bruce Odhiambo was the least qualified person to be appointed to serve as the Chair of the youth-based YEDF. Therefore, I support my statement. That is the truth. His only basic qualification was that he went to St. Mary’s School. I do not consider that to be a qualification ...

23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will never say that my good friend, and former schoolmate, has stolen but I expect him to use his position to defend the rights of the youth of the Republic of Kenya. This was not only a conspiracy but outright theft of public funds. It was a conspiracy involving three individuals – a court jester called Dominic Bruce Odhiambo, a lady called Catherine Namuye and a conman by the name of Mukuria Ngamau. First, they convened a Board meeting and obtained the minutes. They later on tampered with those minutes in order to have an ...
