• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I am coming there. So, the issue of representation is about voices such that someone has to be positioned to represent certain groups, so that they can make decisions on behalf of those groups. I support this Bill because it supports the representation of women and youth. We have also talked about marginalised groups. This country is divided into various categories. There are people such as the Ilchamus, Elmolo and Ogieks who have never been represented in decision-making positions. They are represented by other people. There are also communities which live in inaccessible places and they are also not represented. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Our cultures are diverse and we need representation, so that we can fit in like other parts of the country. Certain areas are not accessible especially during the rainy season. So, representation will help the marginalised to be known in this country. Although youth has been represented in the Senate, their population in this country is so huge. So, this Bill should focus on how we can turn around and ensure the youth are represented more than other groups since their population is higher compared to other age sets in this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Bill. When it comes for Third Reading, we will scrutinise it more and make amendments where necessary. Thank you, so much. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree with what you and the Leader of the Majority Party have said. At the beginning of this Parliament, committees were formed and Members were asked to make a choice or forward their curriculum vitae to guide the leadership of the House to allocate a Member in a committee that he or she can effectively and competently contribute in. Unfortunately, at the begging of this Parliament, some of us were placed in committees we have no idea about. We were denied a chance to serve in the ones we chose. So, these are some of the things ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also support the Committee’s Report. This is a very good Report, especially on establishment of an international academy. Sincerely, all of us have accepted that corruption is really a disease that has eaten into our cultural fabric, right from the time of inception of this country. It has built over time and it has become part and parcel of our lives. We agreed that for every single opportunity we look for and every single business we want to do, we cannot believe that we can do it using our own ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: However, over time the Government has tried and put up measures to curb corruption through establishment of institutions such as the EACC. In my view, we are fighting corruption one way, through forceful means. The way persons are arrested and counties attacked in search of corrupt people is not the only way the EACC can succeed in fighting corruption. We need to diversify ways of fighting corruption. At the moment, the EACC can assign almost 100 officers to investigate just one allegation, as though they are fighting terrorists. Is that the only way to do it, by creating fear in ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Corruption has persisted. People are stealing. In my view, this academy will bring another dimension in fighting corruption to support what already exists. This academy shall research and provide a forum for lessons learnt. That way, we will know what advanced and developing countries are doing to fight the same vice. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It is like a hub where we can meet and compare notes on fighting corruption. There can also be benchmarking and learning best practices. That way, we will employ strategies to eliminate this vice. Also, attitudinal and behavioural change can input on culture so that we restore the ethics, values, respect, and honesty that we have always had since childhood. The research will bring a paradigm shift in matters corruption that would be friendlier, rather than the current EACC model. This country has sufficient and appropriate legislation to fight corruption; the challenge is the almost dysfunctional law enforcement framework. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Our response to challenges is majorly reactive rather than proactive. It is my hope that this academy will provide a long-term mechanism to fight corruption rather than react to issues just because they have been highlighted by media. This prompts us to bring on board multi agencies, make noise and blame existing systems for being ineffective. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: An academy is a continuous way of learning and assisting our people. The young who are in schools will be assisted by this academy and it can be scaled down to our counties. This can go a long way to educate our young people right from primary schools to universities. These values can be embedded in our own communities; homes, schools and colleges. It will help us fight corruption in the best way. view
