• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was not prepared to contribute to this Motion, but since I am a youth and I was elected to represent the youth, I cannot lack one or two things to add on the Motion. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: First of all, I thank the Mover of the Motion. It is timely. I remember last week I went round my constituency and asked the youth if they had gone for the National Youth Service The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: recruitment exercise that was done a week ago. Most of them told me that they did not have the money to apply for the documents required by the National Youth Service. Most of them said they were willing to join the NYS but they could not afford the amount of money required to get the required documents. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Mover of the Motion for intending to make sure that the fees are scrapped so that the youth of this country can feel they belong to it. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I also call on county governments to take note that most of the youth are unemployed and as such opt to start small-scale businesses. But when they start them, they cannot afford to pay for the licences required. Most of the time they open small businesses like car wash or barber shops, but after one month, the city council law enforcers close them leaving them with nothing to do. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I also call on the Government to set up technical institutions in every constituency. There are some youth who did not go to school and did not join technical schools yet they have skills. An example is mechanics who work along Kirinyaga Road which is in my constituency. Most of these people have skills having been trained by their uncles and friends. With time they have become very good mechanics. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: If you go to a country like China which is constructing our railway line, those who are not learned work there because they are trained and have supervisors who are learned coordinating the whole process. Here in Kenya, the youth who were trained by their uncles and friends cannot be employed anywhere. I request that we build technical schools where the youth who have been trained to be mechanics or technicians can be tested and be issued with certificates. This will enable them get employed in big companies. If you go to big companies, you will find that some of ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Bill. This Bill comes at the right time as we have just finished discussing the Building Surveyors Bill which goes hand in hand with the Physical Planning Bill. Kenya is developing at a very high rate. In fact, we are among the fast-developing economies. For this reason, we need comprehensive urban planning which will accommodate our Vision 2030. We also need to place our major towns on the global map by having international up-to-standard planning of roads, buildings and use of land in general. I represent ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: As I support this Bill, I would like to say that the physical planners should not be left to be the alpha and omega. If they were to make any major changes, the input of the communities living in those areas should be included in whatever is being changed. I support the Bill. view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to comment on this very important Bill. First of all, I thank the hon. Members who have contributed before me for supporting the Bill. I would also like to correct Hon. Rasso from Saku, who has said that artists die poor. I will tell him that in every business, if you do not invest, you will definitely die poor. Art pays our bills. Therefore, the amendment of this Bill is aimed at fostering the growth of the art industry and allow Kenyans to live their talents. The Copyright Act ... view
