• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we all agree that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) has really been behind the transformation of the rural Kenya. In the recent past, we have had serious threat to the survival of this Fund. I want to believe that by moving this amendment, the CDF will be guaranteed its survival but more importantly be entrenched in the Constitution to enable Members of Parliament undertake their responsibilities of ensuring that they not only develop the constituencies but they are also accountable to the funds that are accorded to those constituencies under this Act. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: So, I support. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by hon. Francis Kigo Njenga with regard to not just empowering our youth really, but to totally put devolution at the core of development in this country; we should ensure that all the key educational institutions, particularly technical institutions, are well funded, equipped and equitably distributed in the country and at the constituency level. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion addresses a fundamental issue in the education sector, that is the issue of shifting the paradigm from the white collar kind of jobs to self-employment and development of ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Much obliged hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The key message here is that the relevance of these colleges must be in line with the requirements of the labour market. Therefore, as we train our youth, they must be relevant, not just in Kenya but within the region and globally. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to add my voice to this debate in support of the amendments. For me, what this tells us as a House is that, we now have an opportunity to make laws that we shall not regret tomorrow. If you look at some of the challenges we are faced with, it is because of the manner in which certain Bills were passed in the last Parliament which, today, are coming to haunt us. A good Bill or a good law that we have in mind is the current Constituencies Development ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. In so doing I want to recognize the fact that the reforms we are carrying out in the capital markets are part of the wider reforms that we should see taking place in the financial sector of this country. However, we know that in order to grow this economy we need to be looking at how the service industry is developed. Indeed, under the economic pillar of the Vision 2030 one of the key sectors focused on in order to drive this economy is the financial services sector. ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Petition. The road in question neighbours my constituency, and it is a road that I am well aware of in terms of how many accidents have occurred and how many lives have been lost on the Kisumu-Busia Highway. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Just a few years ago, we had a tanker bursting into flames at Sidindi Shopping Centre, and we lost close to 30 lives. However, when we talk about accidents on our roads, as a House, we need to look at more sustainable and permanent solutions. I know that in the short-term the Government has resorted to construction and erection of speed bumps wherever there is an accident on any section of our roads. However, I think it goes beyond construction of speed bumps. If you look at the problem we have on our major highways in terms of the accidents ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: With the growing of business within the East African region and the Great Lakes area, road transport itself is not sufficient to clear all our imports and the heavy cargo that we have to transport to our neighbouring countries, and even within the country. That is the more reason why I think we should be looking at enhancing the construction of an efficient railway system in this country, so that we are able to transfer heavy traffic and freighters from our roads to the railway system. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I stand guided hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you. Again, I need to reiterate the fact that, indeed, I am supporting the Petition; it is not just only for that part of the country; any time we have lives lost in this country, they are of Kenyans who are very productive. As I said, the section in question has been extremely notorious for accidents and it is true that we do not have a single speed bump on that part of the road, yet it supports a lot of traffic. Therefore, looking at the section between Madeya all the way to ... view
