• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: asking whether the Big Four Agenda is for public relation or the President means business. The kind of BPS we are discussing is a routine. We salute the time when Hon. Kimunya was the Minister of the National Treasury, during the time of President Mwai Kibaki. It is the responsibility of the Government to ensure that there is economic sustainability in the country. As we speak right now, people are languishing in poverty because of the high cost of living. When President Kibaki took over power the GDP of the country was growing at a negative rate. He came up ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: this country, we are very serious about this matter because Kenyans are suffering. We focus on small scandals but we let the big ones continue. We must stand and be counted. Pending bills are high. At the county governments particularly in counties with outgoing governors, their pending bills have gone beyond… Some are fake. Proper auditing needs to be done on them. I know of some counties which bring somebody to audit, but for them to pay, they demand a percentage of the money from the pending bills. This is the time we must focus on the common mwananchi . ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: On universal healthcare, human resource is very critical. We see healthcare providers or nurses always on strike. We need to put some mechanisms in place to address human resource and staff welfare for purposes of universal healthcare. We have just been legislating on Health Laws and Hon. Nyikal, who was a Director of Medical Services, is here. It is important for every country to be healthy. I remember President Kibaki, who I admire very much - I wish we had amended the Constitution for him to continue ruling. He used to speak less but the economy was growing. There was ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for that recognition. I thank Hon. Nyamoko for this Petition. The Government has spent so much money to put up TVETs as one way of fulfilling the Big Four Agenda. In many jurisdictions, you will find that TVET plays a critical role, particularly when it comes to preparing the youth for the job market. This is the way to go. Unfortunately, up to now, no principal has been posted to any TVET. We are aware that the Government is going to give Kshs30,000 as capitation to every student of TVET under the Kenya University and ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Most of the trainers are coming from the TSC. I have also learnt that there is no scheme of service. It is important to have a scheme of service and a proper management system that will ensure aspects of quality. Again, there is the issue of public participation during the enactment of the TVET Act. I do not know whether the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) were involved in this matter when this issue came up. The KUPPET and KNUT are the ones that represent these issues. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have always known Hon. Milemba to be a quick learning student. Unfortunately, when you mention KUPPET, he thinks that someone wants to take over his position in KUPPET. He did not understand what I was presenting. I was just questioning the level of public participation when we were passing the TVET Act. The teachers are being moved from the TSC to the PSC. So, my concern was their input during public participation. view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Since then, he has not been paying attention, but he is a good representative of teachers and he is my good friend. So, thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Petition and humbly request the relevant Committee to expedite it so that we can move on. view
