• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Narok who are suffering from the effects of floods because of what informed the poor planning by the traditional paramount chief. The Government, as we speak, is using a lot of money to purchase land for development of social amenities. Some of those towns are poorly planned. You cannot have space for development of schools, hospitals or any social amenity. It becomes very difficult for the Government to plan. That is why you see even in large cities like Nairobi buildings are being brought down because they have encroached on road reserves and riparian areas. It simply boils down to ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this important Bill, which is timely and critical especially as we face devolution. We know what devolution means to the people, especially at the grassroots level. This Bill is critical because, for once, we are now very clear about the classification of areas; whether it is a city, municipality, town, or market centre. More importantly, we are now recognising the fact that we have county governments. The Bill, therefore, goes further to stipulate and provide for the role of county governments in managing the towns, cities, municipalities ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is more important is the fact that we have national urban plans that are not recognised by the county governments. This Bill proposes that county governments must adhere to the national urban planning policies that the national Government comes up with. They must comply with them so that we can have controlled and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: organised growth in urban centres and markets. The Bill goes further to talk about the need to form ad hoc committees of key stakeholders and designations of the various sectors that need to be in those committees like environment, agriculture, the Institute of Surveyors of Kenya and Kenya Institute of Planners. We should involve the citizenry that will be affected by those urban centres, so that their voices can also be heard. We should have adequate public participation as we develop those cities, towns and markets, especially because of the impact it has on revenue collection and delineation of boundary, ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to this important Motion. It is a Motion that is familiar to many of us who have been here before. Therefore, as we pass it, we need to start asking ourselves very hard questions as the leadership of this country. That is because this House is constituted by the leaders of this country. We have a youth fund already in place. What do we need to do to the existing youth fund so that it adds more value to The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: the youth of this country? What is it that is being done that has worked and what has not worked and what do we do about it? There is no need of reinventing the wheel as far as I am concerned. We need first to know where we have gone wrong with what we have so that we know what needs to be done to make it better. We have a very good programme called the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) that helps in access to Government tenders by youth, women and persons with disability. The biggest spender in ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order because Hon. Njomo is demeaning the Maasai community and yet, Nairobi used to belong to the Maasai. If we go back to the map of 1901, we may be forced to ask all of you to vacate this Nairobi and leave it as a grazing ground. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: He is imputing improper motive against the Maasai. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, let me say that I support the Motion by Hon. Anthony Oluoch. The Motion is timely and I hope it will not be like other Motions that we pass in this House, which just collect dust in the shelves. Unemployed youths are a time bomb. They are vulnerable to radicalisation. You know what radicalisation, especially from the Al Shabaab wing, has done to our country. We know what radicalisation in terms of view
