• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support this Petition and add that our Constitution allows for dual citizenship. However, we have not seen this implemented. Secondly, on petitions, this House has always received petitions. They are discussed but I always wonder where they end up when we get their reports. Why are they not being implemented? It is like there is no track of what happens to the reports that arise out of the petitions that are brought to this House. Allow me also to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to His Excellency the President ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support that the Petition. Thank you. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to second this very important Motion on the establishment of fisheries training institutions and fish processing plants, both in the inland and also the Coast region. I also sincerely thank my colleague, the Member of Parliament for Kisumu County, for bringing this very important Motion and talking passionately about the fishing industry. You are a true representative of the people of Kisumu County. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We live in a dynamic society. Just like in agriculture where farmers have adopted new and modern ways of farming, we need to do the same in the fishing industry and also other economic activities. Many parts of this country are endowed with different potentials. For example, tea is grown in Kericho and Bomet counties and the fish industry is taking place not only around the lake region, that is Kisumu County and the surrounding regions, but we also have the Coast region as well as Lodwar. This Motion has come at the right time because we have the potential ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I am also passionate about the technical training institutions. I want to mention that the current education system has laid a lot of emphasis on academic courses as opposed to technical courses. This is one of the reasons why we have a high level of unemployment. Everyone is rushing to get a degree as opposed to going to middle level colleges where they train and equip the youths with technical skills which enable them to become self employed and create employment opportunities. However, it is good to note that currently the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) is reviewing the ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, they are most welcome. This is quite relevant to the students who are listening to us now. As I was saying, indeed this is an opportune time. The Motion has come at the right time when KICD is reviewing the current education system. I am particularly happy because this review is going to give an opportunity to the many talented or endowed students. We are endowed differently. We have talent. Some students would like to take drama and music. Others would wish to take technical courses and general education. Therefore, the mission is ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: in every ward. In Kenya, we have more than 1,450 wards. This will go a long way in equipping the youths with the necessary skills to become self employed. Therefore, this Motion will urge the Government to customize the curriculum in the various institutions. For the curriculum of a TTI or vocational training centre in Kisumu, they should scan the market around that region and offer courses that will equip the youth to be readily absorbed in that market. I will not expect a TTI in Kisumu to teach about growing of tea as opposed to fish industry. This has ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also comment on the Election Laws (Amendment) (No.3) Bill of 2015. From the outset, I support this Bill with reservations in one or two clauses. I support Clause 4 that increases the number of days from 60 to 90 within which the Commission must open the register for inspection. This will increase transparency that is required for the electoral process. We have heard people complain that people who have passed on continue to remain in the register and, therefore, this is open for abuse. The inspection of the register should ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: that we are disadvantaged and, therefore, we need to be considered to vie even without degrees. We need to interrogate this issue further because we need county assemblies to appropriate funds properly, so that they are able to do meaningful developments in their counties. Clause 13 proposes the number of voters per polling station to be 700 or as per what the Commission may determine. I support this. The centres are opened at 6.00 a.m., but the actual voting starts beyond 8.00 a.m. due to other technicalities. In the last general elections, at some stations the Electronic Voter Identification Devices ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I support the Motion on the Ratification of the East African Community Protocol on Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures. A protocol is a binding agreement between countries in a certain region. This Protocol gives us a lot of protection because whatever trading agreements are therein shall be respected by the parties that sign it. The back bone of Kenya’s economy is in agriculture and livestock. Without such laws, we would not have markets for our produce. Every country is endowed with different agricultural products and unless there is a trading agreement on ... view
