• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to thank Hon. Mwaura. I rise to second this important Motion. First, I thank God for this wonderful opportunity because when I came to Parliament four years ago, I felt this was a calling especially for the children in my village and all over Kenya where I had spent seven years as a volunteer teacher. It is also very important for my fellow young Kenyans, for whom if we did something different as a country, we can give them many opportunities that we never had a chance to enjoy in our ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Government through the New Deal to support youth employment. This is not just history. Even in our country, you remember the recession of 2008 when the current President, Hon. Uhuru, was the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. We got out of that through empowering the local systems to create employment through the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). This is what we are seeking, as legislators, to entrench in our laws. The Government should provide a structured way that seeks to create employment and empower young people who have ideas. We should get it out of our minds that empowering ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: and Facebook . Our young people have many great ideas. As the Member of Parliament for Buuri, I have seen it work practically. The Jubilee Government initiated the StimaMtaani project and took electricity to areas which were not connected to power. Let us not think of innovation or youth empowerment in the structure of software development and the big things that we see in newspapers. It can happen in the small villages that we think of. I went to school in a very small village called Machaka, a rural slum somewhere in Buuri. All along, I kept thinking what we ... view

There is so much strength in our youth that if we tap into it, we can take Kenya to the next level and make it a great country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and my colleagues, we rise in strength and in support of this Motion. I also encourage Hon. Mwaura to move it even into a Bill. We have done so much on youth empowerment. I wish to thank Hon. Sakaja, who moved the National Employment Authority Bill. I also ... view

• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology: i.

• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I have an issue with the Labour and Social Welfare Committee but first, I want to congratulate them for the nice work, especially on the Anti-Doping Bill that we did yesterday. My issue was the Strategic Youth Industries Bill which I moved to the Committee last year. It was supposed to be considered by the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) and by the Labour and Social Welfare Committee as well. We made progress with the BAC but, with the Labour and Social Welfare Committee, there has not been any feedback regarding the Bill. Thank you. view
