5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really want to go on record that this Bill, as per Article 112 of the Constitution, will go for mediation. This is a Bill from the Senate and Article 112 of the Constitution says that if the House passes a Bill and amends it, it will have to go for mediation. So, we have amended the Bill that came from the Senate. I am sure when we come back in February, we will be in a position to form a mediation committee.

5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the National Youth Service Bill 2018 be now read a Second Time. This a very important Bill and I really thank the Chair and the Members of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for doing a very vigorous public participation so that we start the Second Reading of this Bill. It is very important. If we enact this Bill, a lot of the messes that the young people in NYS go through will be a thing of the past. This Bill seeks to establish what will be known as ...

5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
combats. We were becoming combats. You know what happened was that Mwandawiro started doing guard of honour at the University of Nairobi. One of the functions of NYS is to undertake paramilitary training. Because of that training, I was very much impressed and I commend the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). In their nationwide recruitment, the first question they were asking to new recruits is: “Who among you is from NYS?” That tells you that the young men and women in NYS should be given the first priority when we are employing police officers, military officers and officers from other service ...

Part III of the Bill deals with the disciplinary provisions. Clause 33 sets out prohibited acts under the Act. Clause 34 talks about penalties for disciplinary offences which include extra drills, parades, reduction of salary. Clauses 33 and 34 deal with internal disciplinary mechanisms. Clause 36 of Part III requires that losses or damage to property to be made good by recovery from the salary of the respective member.

old. How do you bring him back to the NYS? The DG must be a young and energetic man. I have nothing against the current lady who is there. She was sent there to fix the problem. We stipulated that the DG of the Kenya Coast Guard must be a member of the disciplined forces. He is a brigadier. We need to put it in this law that the DG of the NYS must be somebody from the Defence Forces - a disciplined officer. You cannot put Hon. Duale in charge of the NYS. I cannot even run. I can ...

I want to join the President and everybody else who says that those who took NYS money must be held accountable, return the money and face the full force of law.

5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chair, Members of the Committee and all the other Members who have contributed to this very important Bill. I am sure the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, Hon. Wario, is taking notes of all the deliberations. However, if he has missed anything, he can use the HANSARD to get the verbatim report of every Member who has spoken this afternoon. Secondly, I have heard the concerns of the Member for Wajir South. I think this is not a matter for the Chair. Please, ...

5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
From 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, we realised a budget growing from Kshs4 billion to Kshs26 billion. That, in itself, the Auditor-General should have raised a flag. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Budget and Appropriations Committee should have raised a flag. In Government departments, budgets do not grow from Kshs4.5 billion to Kshs26 billion. However, I think we have learnt lessons. Corruption took place. The men and women who stole the money are in court. More are to be arrested. At the end of the day, this institution will be like a parastatal. All its audited accounts will ...
