• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: We came up with Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) initiative whereby the youth of this country can access the Government procurement opportunities. Thirty per cent of Government tenders are supposed to be allocated to youth, women and persons with disabilities but does it happen? The answer is no. If a youth today applies for a tender advertised by, say, the NG-CDF, KeRRA, county government or the national Government and he is awarded the tender, he cannot raise the required capital to do that job. What happens? He or she ends up defaulting in doing that job and eventually it ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Because the youth do not have the resources to do these jobs, rich members of the business communities have started companies which have youth as a face but at the end of the day it is being controlled by the same people. So, our youth will just be given the tender but at the end of the day, they will not realise the full benefit of that tender. It is the person pulling the strings who will take the bigger cut. The youth will end up with, say, 10 per cent of what will be realised. Actually, we are not ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: We came up with programmes like Kazi kwa Vijana. Eventually, we saw what happened. It had raised hopes for many youths of this country. You could visit any constituency and find the youth engaged in some activities but corruption came in. Eventually, the whole programme was killed and we left our youth high and dry. This is a time bomb. We cannot be talking of 73 per cent of the population of this country being constituted by the youth and a majority of them are unemployed and we, who have already transited that category, are sitting pretty quiet and assuming ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is not a manufacturing nation. It is an agrarian nation, but we can revitalise it if we focus to empower the youth whereby funding and everything else can be provided to them so that they can start their own businesses. My colleague, Hon. Owen Baya, talked about the youth business leaders like what is happening in the United States of America (USA). These are the things that need to be initiated and actualised because we know that this country does not have proper plans. In fact, we do not have oil in this country. ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Spika, kwa kunipatia fursa hii. Kwa niaba yangu na watu wa Eneo Bunge la Kisauni, ninachukua fursa hii kutoa rambirambi zangu kwa hayati Mzee Moi. Tunasema pole kwa familia. view

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this extremely important Bill. I wish to support the Hon. Member from Turkana for bringing this timely amendment. These incidences that we have experienced in this country are not new and they are many. We have had such incidences over the last 20 years but we never learn from them. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: If you look at our curriculum today, it does not address the issue of training our students. The emergency preparedness is not there and this has caused a lot of injuries and fatalities which could have been prevented if this curriculum could have addressed the issue of training our students at the lower levels. The other day we had this school along Ngong Road which collapsed and caused deaths to many young students who had a bright future ahead of them. Due to poor workmanship, we ended up with such a serious disaster which caused deaths to many students. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill is important for us Hon. Members because the Ministry of Education carried out an audit of all the schools in this country. They prepared reports and recommendations on what needs to be done in all of our learning institutions, but due to lack of resources, most of these recommendations are still gathering dust in various shelves in our schools. It is now time for the Ministry of Education to allocate funds to various schools to ensure these recommendations are actualised. Today if you visit any of our schools, be they day or boarding schools, they lack basic firefighting ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: various teaching colleges like, Shanzu and Kagumo who have not been trained or drilled on how to fight a fire or evacuate in case of an emergency in a school. When you look at the dormitories in various boarding schools in this country, they are so pathetic. They are designed as a confined space with only one entrance yet, around 200 students sleep there and have no escape routes. When you look at our vehicles and especially the buses, the back window is clearly indicated as an emergency door. So, in case of an accident and because there are only ... view
