• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the Members who have supported this Motion. Let them know that support for this Motion is showing support for the youth of this country. We are more than 47 young Members who were elected. I believe that most of us were elected by the youth of this country so that we can represent them in Parliament. We were not only elected by the youth in this country, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Six months ago, the Government formed a team called the Nairobi Regeneration Team and one of their major tasks was to flush out mechanics and carpenters who were operating on riparian land. As the Member of Parliament, I went to Kirinyaga Road where more than 10,000 mechanics were to be flushed out. The question they were asking me was where they were to go after they were flushed out from where they operate. One thing came into to my mind and I thought if the mechanics had certificates to show that they are mechanics and can be employed in some ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: If you go to Gikomba Market, we have over 5,000 carpenters. Most of them make the furniture that we buy in big shops in this town.

• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: About three weeks ago, Kenyans were all over the social media telling us that as young Members, we are not representing the youth. They wanted us to be like Hon. Bobi Wine from Uganda. Kenya is not like Uganda. We do not have a dictator and so, we do not have to go to the streets and fight. The best we can do is to come up with policies, Bills and ideas that can help the Government to reduce the unemployment rate in this country. We had a Motion three weeks ago where youth unemployment was declared a national disaster. ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I am talking about this because I have been a victim of the same before. At one time, I went to the American Embassy to try and get a visa to go and perform in the United States of America. At that time, I had released the Kigeugeu song. The interviewer told me that I had nothing to prove that I was a musician. I tried to sing, but they could not understand or even know what I was up to. They told me to go to any Kenyan organisation that would write a letter to prove that I was ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I had to go to the Kenya Music Copyright Society, get a certificate that proved that I was a musician from Kenya. Upon the production of that certificate, I was granted the visa to go to the USA. What I am talking about is being done in other countries such as Germany and Korea, where they have a system called the “dual system.” Whereby if you go to school and you feel like you do not want to continue with education, you are taken to where you want to be whether it is as a mechanic. You are trained for ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: So, I thank all the Members who have supported me. I believe if we come up with Motions, Bills and policies that will help the Government, in the next few years, the problem of youth unemployment will be a thing of the past. view
