• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Not with you. I had agreed with the Chair yesterday. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You are very right in your observation because we have also been youth. We were where they are and we did what they are doing now. So, what should be appreciated is the fact that, apart from the difference as put by Hon. Babu Owino, we also know a little more than the youth do because of our life experiences. I want to thank and commend Hon. Gideon Keter for coming up with this Bill, which seeks to amend the National Youth Council Act to have it de-politicised by having its council ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this can be amended during the Third Reading, but it does not augur well for this kind of thing to be brought before the House in the manner it is. The other thing I noted and would like to support is the fact that county governments must be encouraged to come up with programmes geared particularly towards supporting the youth through empowerment, education and capacity building. Also, there is an aspect of the cash transfer programes as has been articulated by the youthful Member for Saboti. The older people have been put on that programmes. They ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: about Kshs2,000 or Kshs3,000, which is given to both the old men and women in the category of the underprivileged people or people who do not have means to live. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: We have youth, who have gone to school and others who are drop outs. Until the recent compulsory transition, we had youth who could not proceed to higher education. The point I want to drive home is that consideration should not just be given to the youth, but to everybody in this country. Elsewhere in the world, the unemployed are given a stipend for their living, not for business or anything else, so that they can get something for their living. It is meant to assist them to meet their daily obligations and put some small amount of food on ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is their medical needs. The youthful Members need to get it right here that the older people’s bodies deteriorate and the performance of their organs decline. Therefore, they do not function like the young people who are actively involved in life. So, we need to ensure that support is given towards medical assistance for the elderly. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, an important point on the youth forum that was held in this country under the auspices of the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region sought to establish a secretariat here in Nairobi, Kenya. I recall His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya donating $US2 million towards the establishment of a secretariat in Nairobi. Since the money was released to the Ministry in 2016, that secretariat has not been established. This is a shame! If we want to demonstrate our seriousness in supporting the youth, the secretariat should obviously come with employment opportunities for a number of ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this important Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Governments across the world ensure that an industry that has a direct impact on the livelihoods of the people is protected. Every effort must be made to ensure that the interests of tea farmers, coffee farmers, sugar-cane farmers and maize farmers, among others, are protected . Every effort must be made to ensure that those industries are properly regulated. Those industries must be supported to ensure that production is enhanced, and that farmers do not make losses. Farmers need to feel happy that the Government is supporting them. Therefore, I support the Tea Bill, which seeks to provide a framework ... view
