• 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.

• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: recruitment exercise that was done a week ago.

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
