• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: This Bill also talks about the staff who will work in these libraries. It is unfortunate that most of the counties in this country do not have functional libraries, despite us talking about very high literacy levels in this country. The idea of having this Service to establish libraries at the county level is good. It will ensure that many young people will access them and do research relating to what they do. The fact that the Bill determines the qualifications which are required for the staff who will work in those libraries is very good for the country. view
• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other matter is the resourcing of this Service in terms of money. After getting the human resource, there is also need for financial resource. It is very clear that this National Library Service, just like all other Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs), will submit budgets like any other parastatal three months to the end of the financial year. They will be discussed the way we discuss budgets for parastatals, so that they are well-resourced. At the end of the day, this will confirm that we have a Library Service which can serve Kenyans as per the expectations. This House needs ... view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I know that this Bill will proceed to the Senate after it is considered by the National Assembly because it also touches on the counties. My humble appeal to the Senate is that when it gets there, the House Business Committee of the Senate will allocate time for it, so that both Houses pass it. As a result, it will be given the final signature to become a law. In short, this proposed Bill is good for this country. It will promote the culture of reading so that Kenyans can read more and become more knowledgeable in science, arts, music ... view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think you have picked those words from my mouth. In terms of what Hon. Wamalwa was saying, these international instruments only become effective once Parliament ratifies them. I also want to support this amendment. As we said, it is good when we are seeking asylum in different countries it is a disqualification rather than a condition for not applying. I support. view

• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me also join my colleagues in conveying my condolences on my own behalf, on behalf of my family and on behalf of the good people of Kitui Central and Kitui County at large. Hon. Speaker, I know Hon. Oyioka and Senator Haji. I have interacted with them at a personal level and I must say it is a big loss to this country. I really want to encourage the families that God gave and he has taken and we can only say his name be blessed. Therefore, I want to really pray that during these ... view
