• 9 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: During the campaign period, both sides of the divide campaigned on a platform of economic revolution. The Kenya Kwanza Government advocated for the bottom-up approach and us in the Azimio side advocated for the 3rd economic liberation of our nation. I am very pleased we have two Motions today that centre on empowerment of our people in matters trade. This is a step in the right direction but is long overdue. We need to recognise the role played by SMEs in the economy of this country. It is wise to provide a conducive environment and empower traders. This is because ... view
• 9 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: I rose from being a trader in the downtown side of Nyamakima, Kamukunji area. There are very serious SMEs in that area that have been set up by people from the villages. They have blossomed and grown to be medium enterprises. Others reached the industrialisation phase through the support they got from the Kibaki Government. It is so demoralising because we are killing that spirit. The Kibaki administration opened up the economy of Kenya by giving SMEs a chance and opening markets in other countries for people to sell their goods. For example, there was trading with China, Dubai, Turkey ... view
• 9 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: My sister seeks to develop a unified national policy on SMEs and I support it from the bottom of my heart. If we want to boost the economy of this country, we should start with empowering SMEs. Through innovation and creation, they have become a powerhouse in offering jobs and being employers in this country. view
• 9 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: If you look at the developed countries of the world, they heavily rely on the private sector to empower their economy. If you look at countries like India, they started with cottage industries, moved to handcraft industries and reached the industrial revolution level through empowering small traders and SMEs in their countries. This is long overdue. So, we seek to empower SMEs through proper recognition. We want to reduce the harassment that is meted on them. You can imagine at their infant stages, there are many agencies directed to oversee their activities. But they fail to do this the correct ... view
• 9 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: I think this is a step in the right direction. I want to congratulate my sister and I stand to second this Motion. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to contribute to the proposal on the amendment of the Constitution to include the NG-CDF. First and foremost, in Starehe Constituency, Nairobi County, where I come from, most of the populace dwell in the slums. The people have benefited from bursaries through the NG-CDF throughout their lives. Therefore, proposing that the NG-CDF be scrapped off will be detrimental to the gains made by the NG-CDF in my constituency. Children from the slums such as Mukuru Kayaba, Marigu-ini, Fuata Nyayo among others, have gone to school courtesy of the NG-CDF. ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to address the House. I am Hon. Amos Mwago, Member for Starehe Constituency in Nairobi City. First, I want to thank God for this opportunity to arrive at this House to contribute to the matters of national interest. I also want to thank the great people of Starehe Constituency for electing me as a Member of Parliament to represent them here. I will not miss out congratulating you and Hon. Wetangula for your election as Deputy Speaker and Speaker of this House respectively. I have been elected to this House ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: too many promises that the President promised us, my people are very optimistic that this is their time. view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: The Government is on a wave of economic liberation. Most of the people in Nairobi City are hopeful that most of what has been promised to them will be achievable and that the environment will be conducive for them to do business. They also hope that new markets are going to be constructed in Nairobi to accommodate the many people who are unemployed. They are hopeful that job opportunities are going to be created for them by this Government. In general, my constituents are very hopeful that their livelihoods will improve. That is why, being one of them, I am ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: About housing, I am an MP for a constituency that has a very huge population living in the slums. These people are optimistic that the affordable housing plan that the Government promised will help them redeem their livelihoods by providing decent housing. Their major concern is that maybe the structures that are going to be used in the schemes may not address the real issues facing the people. We have seen other housing plans being brought on board, where people who benefit are not slum dwellers. These houses have been brought up and sold out to other people who are ... view
