• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Any leadership that comes to power tries to address the three social ills affecting a human being; that is, poverty, ignorance and diseases. The Jubilee Government, under the leadership of 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
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: His Excellency the President and his able Deputy President, have actually addressed these issues more than other leaderships we have had in the past. Take, for example poverty. In addressing poverty, of course, you have to look at other issues, for example, improving the infrastructure as one way of tackling poverty. When you improve infrastructure, you create roads where farm produce can easily be taken to the market in time to avoid it rotting. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We have electricity, meaning that people who are in business can actually have a 24-hour economy. That means that with a broad base where businesses are going on, we can tackle poverty because livelihoods can be improved through businesses. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Education is the pillar or key to life. When the Jubilee Government came to power, the first thing it did was to increase the capitation for free primary education and the subsidised secondary education. These were improved. Additionally, there was a taskforce that ensured that fees that is paid by parents came down. Again, the Government, through a Motion by one of our Members, agreed to pay for KCSE and KCPE registration fees, among other issues. A total of 14,045 primary and secondary schools have been connected to electricity; meaning that the standards of education will improve. Initially, they were ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am sorry my voice is gone, but I will really try because I feel I need to contribute to this debate. I particularly want to say that while I support many amendments, for example on the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development Act amendment, this is mainly an administrative matter that I know once that amendment is put in place, it is going to have that smooth transition once the outgoing chair resigns and another one is appointed immediately by the Cabinet Secretary (CS). My bone of contention with this Bill is the amendment ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: will be proposing amendments during the Third Reading that this should be completely removed. One of the reasons why the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has not received the necessary reforms to drive this country to be an industrialized country is because it was placed under 10 ministries. I am seeing a situation here where we are being taken back to that situation. It is going to bring uncoordinated admission of Government-sponsored students (GSSs) into TVET institutions. Deserving students may not get places because they will not be well distributed. It means that, for students in a medical ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will keep on struggling because I am battling with my lost voice. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion about the National Building Maintenance Policy. There is a famous saying in Swahili that Usipoziba ufa utajenga ukuta . This means that if you do not repair a cracked wall in time, one day it will come down and obviously it will be too expensive to put it up again. Indeed, it is very embarrassing to see the state of most of the public facilities. I want ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion moved by Hon. Jude Njomo on Persuasive Voter Registration. Much as it is for posterity, I want to support it because as they say, failing to plan is planning to fail. Therefore, we can as well be planning for the future at this very moment. Secondly, the Motion also gives us the opportunity to actually do that persuasion. We can persuade our people to go on to register as voters because we have actually noted the voter apathy across the country. Yes, indeed, ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think there are loud consultations. Can you, please, protect me? view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. I just want to repeat that many areas are doing poorly as far as the targets are concerned. I am singling out Kericho County, which has not seen greater percentages because there was no registration last year due to the by-election that was there. One way of persuading the voters to register is actually through civic education. That way, they can really understand why they need to vote because knowledge is power. We need to really find out why exactly there is voter apathy. Is it the way we approach our ... view
