• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support this Motion that a unified identification system that harmonizes all bio-data be established. This is an opportunity for the digital Jubilee Coalition; having been elected as a digital coalition, to effect that. That way, their slogan of “ Kusema na Kutenda” will be actualized. Hon. Members, this is not something that is unique because in the USA they have established a similar system and they give everybody in the USA a social security number. Through this number one can access one’s bio-data just by the click of the mouse. ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Now, I am comparing this to, for example, when marriages are conducted by priests and pastors they give a marriage certificate that is a legal document. This is usually a booklet obtained from the Attorney-General’s office and you account for it. You send the returns and there cannot be any duplication. So, I think if we borrow a leaf from this then the idea of having to go and look for a birth certificate can actually be eased. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have seen in the past, for example two years ago when, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) introduced the idea that for you to register for Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations you must have a birth certificate. Many of our rural students did not have this document, and because of a number of parents being illiterate, they sent their teenage children to get the document; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: we had cases of officers and other conmen and con-women taking advantage of the youths in the name of: “I will assist you get a birth certificate in a day in exchange of certain favours” and you all know what kind of favours these can be. So, I want to say that it is really disturbing; if this document issued early it will really be very good, and will then save the parents trouble and also the children from being victims of circumstances. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: So, as I end, I want to say that this is possible; being a member of the Jubilee Government, and since we were elected on a digital platform, then this must be implemented as soon as possible. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to add to the point that was raised by hon. Kangongo that besides the number of people to be hired, there is the issue of gender. I will give an example of Sotik. They needed one female, but they made all the males run and run and yet, they only required one female. If they knew this, why were they making the participants engage in an exercise in futility? That is very unfair. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I am on the Floor. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, and I stand to support or defend the decision of the Committee. I want to add that earlier on I had wanted to stand on a point of order to really ask hon. Kimaru a question. Hon. Members, be informed - I am sorry to say this - that hon. Kimaru was never in any of those meetings that we held. So, to stand here and purport to have a dissenting view is really misleading this House. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker; with all due respect, I want to correct my statement and say that it was during our deliberations. The Members of the Committee are here. He only came yesterday as we were signing the Report before we forwarded it. So, he did not know the things we went through during the deliberations. I support and we can request the Mover to reply. view
