• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and to congratulate my friend the sponsor of this Bill for the good work that he has done, but I have some concerns. The critical objective of this Bill is, one, once one attains the mandatory age of 60 years, one should not seek an extension. Secondly, this mandatory age has been in the regulations. What the Hon. Member is doing is that he wants to bring it into a statute. We support the youth. About 80 per cent of unemployed people in this country are the youth. ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: situation. You might be the president tomorrow and you are a youth and want the youth to get jobs. How will you do it? You can do it through an Executive Order. Once you have put it in the law, it is going to be very difficult. So, as we move to the Committee of the whole House, let us look at the Bill and come up with amendments that will be a win-win in both situations. I support. Thank you. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. First, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. Kanini Kenga we salute you. Even though you are new, you have done very well because you have managed to do this within the shortest time possible. I was also surprised. When I was in the village I heard people saying that the Senate has agreed that they are going to release the money. This was without them knowing that we have two chambers and one of the objectives of the two chambers The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: is to provide checks and balances. Therefore, once a Bill has been passed in the Senate it has to come to the National Assembly and as a matter of fact, it should also undergo public participation. I really want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee because they did this within the shortest time possible. However, the report was tabled today. We did not have the benefit of looking at it because the debate was coming within the same session. However, we listened carefully when they were moving and when they were seconding. One of the critical issues lies under ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The money being felt on the ground in terms of development is that of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). The fruits of devolution in my county cannot be felt except those of the NG-CDF. Some of us have gubernatorial ambitions and want our governors to lead by example. We want the money meant for devolution to be felt by the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: common citizen. In Trans-Nzoia County, there are potholes all over. One wonders where the money has gone to. We have seen funds from KURA construct roads but governors claim that the roads have been done by the county government. It is high time we labelled them to create the difference. view

• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There was a lot of litigation going round and they were quoting public participation everywhere. We lacked a clear framework on how public participation should be done, particularly in the counties. Governors select a few people here and there. I agree with what Hon. Duale has said. The main intention of this Bill was not so much to do with Article 118 of the Constitution which talks about legislation in terms of Parliament because that can be done within our Standing Orders. My request is on the way forward. When we have three Bills, it is ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: how we can help other organs of Government which have been circumventing the issue of public participation. Moving forward, let us sit together and harmonise so that we get an agreeable version of the Bill that can see the end of the day. view
