• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Kenya Qualification Framework Bill, 2013, is not about a body being created. It talks about many things. The body is one of it. The hon. Member is talking about a body. There is no Bill that concerns a body and I am sure Members of the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology will agree with me. It talks about a qualification framework. The standards set that Kenyan parents will pay for their money for a certificate that they are sure of. So, it is not about a body unless ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker I will take one minute to reply. I want to dispel the fear that--- I am sure all of us in our constituencies, people are opening the so-called colleges in make-shift kiosks and write: “Diploma in Computer.” Our parents pay huge amounts of money for that education; only to be told that, that certificate is not recognized. What this Bill is trying to do is to create a standard way of recognizing qualifications obtained in Kenya and even outside Kenya. There are parents who send their children to India to do law and when they come back, they ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I consulted and I think we can bring that Bill later. Let us go to the next one. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Scrap Metal Bill, National Assembly Bill No.6 of 2014, be now read a Second Time. The background to the Scrap Metal Bill 2014--- I hope one of my very good colleagues is a serious metal scrape dealer. This Bill is very important to him and I am sure he will contribute. This Scrap Metal Bill of 2014 is necessitated by a very urgent need. The need is to manage and regulate the scrap metal sector in our country. The question that begs an answer is this: Why do we ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, last week, you heard that the Government is spending Kshs50 million on Thika Super Highway every year. Why do we spend that amount of money? That is because the illegal scrap metal dealers in this City do the business of stealing the road signage, guardrails and all the other development within the Thika Super Highway in the wee hours. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: So, the Government has seen the need to facilitate the development of the iron and steel sector in line with our national vision. How do we look at the development of the steel and iron sector in line with Vision 2030? The Scrap Metal Bill, 2014 is seen by the Government and the Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development as a panacea to the emerging problem in our country. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The current Scrap Metal Act, CAP.503 was reviewed a number of times but it does not help. So, what is the purpose of the Scrap Metal Bill, 2014? Very unscrupulous business people have continued to promote the wanton destruction of the country’s infrastructure. That is both the rail and the road. To support the unsustainable appetite for scrap metal, which has become a source of raw material for millers in their metal industry, we felt that to reduce that destruction, this Bill is paramount. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, the current Scrap Metal Act, CAP.503 has become very ineffective and cannot help any more. That is because a number of Sections within CAP. 503 have been repealed. This has given rise to the illegal scrap metal dealers in our country. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill also tries to harmonize the licensing and traceability of scrap metal dealers. A scrap metal can be traced to a particular road or furniture that was destroyed. So, this Bill effectively abolish, create traceability and the licensing of scrap metal dealers in our country. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thirdly, the Bill will effectively make the Government to monitor and regulate trade in scrap metal. This trade is huge in our country. It is estimated to be to the tune of Kshs4 billion a year, but the Government does not collect revenue and nobody can account for that business. So, what this Bill is trying to do is to make sure that it gives a platform for the Government to monitor and regulate the trade in scrap metal which, in my opinion and in the opinion of many people in this country, including the Government, has resulted in chaos ... view
