• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: interest because it resonates with all the Members of Parliament and the public. I speak here as a Member of Parliament for Mandera North because I know the pain and anguish the parents are undergoing. Every day I get calls from my constituents who are seeking for transport and money to travel to the county headquarters to get services. This does not come without a cost. One needs to also pay for photocopying services. This is a very critical aspect and I am sure if we take these offices to the constituents, parents and children will get a big relief. ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This Motion is very good. It resonates well with the many youths who are unemployed. It is known that 35 per cent of the Kenyan population comprise of the youth. This Motion seeks to waive the numerous fees which youths are charged as they seek employment. It is rather unfortunate that somebody seeking to be employed is asked to get documents which are costly. What is more surprising is that the same unemployed youth is put in the same category and level as somebody who is seeking high offices. Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and CEOs ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, why would a youth, who does not have that amount of money, be charged when he seeks employment? view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When the youth seek employment, they have to present the documents, but it is not a guarantee that they will get the jobs. So, this Motion intends to provide affirmative action for the many youths in this country. It will go a long way in easing the already onerous and difficult path of seeking employment for the youth in this country. As Members of Parliament, we are saddled with a number of requests, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: on a daily basis, from youths seeking employment. They have the documents yet they cannot get employment. Why saddle them with two difficult issues of looking for documents that they pay for, but cannot be employed? The Motion seeks to take away the burden by ensuring the documents are not a requirement for youths seeking first time employment. We understand that the Government gets revenue from the application for the documents. It can still raise the same amount of revenue from people who are already employed; higher cadre of Kenyans. If the Government thinks that its revenue will be short, ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The other aspect is the database for youth employment. They leave colleges and universities, but we do not have real time data to know who is employed and who is out there still looking for employment. The database is very critical and it will enable us, as leaders, to hold the Government to account by finding out who has been employed and from which county or constituency. This also goes down well with the fact that we need to have a balance in employment all over the country. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. It is very important. I advise the Government to continue providing services to the youth. They are many and are unemployed. They should not be burdened with seeking for documents that are costly. Thank you very much. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Waiver of these fees is very good. What happens to these youth who every year leave colleges and universities and are not absorbed into the job market? It is saddening that we educate them, they come out with papers, some of them with good qualifications yet they cannot find employment. If I look at the housing sector, which is part of the… view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. As I stand to support this Motion, I want to talk about the youth who are largely unemployed. They come out of universities and colleges every year. Unfortunately, they are not absorbed. Which begs the question: Why are we asking these kids to go to school, get educated, come out and then they cannot find jobs? Every year we are building huge projects. Unfortunately the state departments are not directly doing it. They outsource to companies. The sad part is that these companies do not absorb the electronic engineers and those who have the right papers. A lot ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: do not have engineers on the ground. They might be having them on paper but none on the ground. This is important, but equally the State should think about how to remunerate a youth who has gone to school, studied and came out with good papers. How come an engineer cannot find a job in this era when we are talking of expanding our projects and facilities? view
