• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, they have talked of complexity. Before you make a decision, you do a cost benefit analysis. You cannot do a cost benefit analysis basing it on complexity, yet you are increasing the cost of the standard of living for Kenyans. They will not afford the cost of living. Affordability is going to be a problem. Again, when it comes to the consultation with stakeholders, you did not even mention whether you have had a chat with the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU). COTU is very critical. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: It would have been nice for them to talk to the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), who have been having problems with allowances, to see what their take was. They have not done enough consultation with the stakeholders. What we are seeing is that they talked to the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). It will be good for us to see reports on what these stakeholders have said. When it comes to affordability, it is going to be a big problem. We know that a poor voter in Kibera, ... view

• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion. We have been fighting poverty in this country since our fore-fathers. The problem has been poverty, disease and ignorance. Today, 50 years down the line, we are still fighting poverty. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, research has shown that 70 per cent of the unemployed people in this country are the youth. Anyone who goes to school will wish to go to university. The current cutoff for admission to university through the Joint Admission Board (JAB) has been a C+. The latest statistics show that we have ... view

• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that protection. In terms of those middle level colleges, they offer courses like masonry, entrepreneurship and carpentry. With those courses, when the candidates qualify, they can go for self-employment. With such in business, even Parliament will not need to go to China to get the furniture because we will have the capacity. The seats hon. Members are sitting on today, I am told they were made locally through those enterprises. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I mentioned earlier, any student who does not qualify to go to university does not mean that, ... view
