• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: She said that she was shown an SMS that showed that there was an eminent attack which means, by implication that she is accusing the people of Kericho, which is wrong. She should let the police do their job and not to accuse one community. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think the amendment, in my view, is vague. That is because Chapter Six has a whole lot of issues. I propose that hon. (Ms) Odhiambo-Mabona defines what she really wanted because it is too vague. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Yes I oppose, unless she clarifies it. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. The manner in which this Bill has been transacted is very encouraging. I want to thank hon. Millie for mentioning that there is some spirit which has come. I want to say that, that spirit is very good. I advise these hon. Members not to oppose for the sake of opposing. She has given a very good comment today and she is a very good debater. The spirit is very good and we should encourage it. We hope that the police will not have any other reason other than doing the job that ... view

• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to first and foremost congratulate my very good friend, hon. Sakaja, who also happens to be my member in the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when this Bill came for pre-publication scrutiny, my Committee did not hesitate to give it the necessary approval because of its importance. Therefore, I want to say that the chairman TNA, who actually happens to be in this House because of affirmative action in terms of the youth agenda, has actually proven himself that truly he represents the youth in this House and I want to really congratulate him. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at all the political parties which were contesting in the last elections, both Jubilee and CORD were talking about the youth because they are the problem in this country. In fact, they are a time-bomb and if we do not address them, they will be a serious challenge in this country. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have spoken about the Uwezo Fund which targets the youth. If you give youth money and then again you do not give them the opportunities, we are not going to achieve results. So, I think this Bill serves to tie up the two strategies and that is the strategy of the Uwezo Fund which is actually giving them the capital needed to perform the business. We are now saying we must give them the big opportunities to be able to do business and be able to repay these funds. We must take affirmative action for ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Committee, if necessary will reconsider any other proposals from stakeholders and we will make further amendments which will improve the Bill because we want the best out of this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is associated with a vicious cycle of poverty. Those children who were born in rich families continue being richer and richer. Those who are born in poor families end up being poorer and poorer and I think this is one Bill that is going to break that vicious cycle of poverty because we want opportunities. Because of the way the structure is done, they ... view
