• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Motion, but I still wonder why people do not report when they have guns. People come to this country when they own guns but they do not report that they own guns. I know a few people who are not criminals who have come to the country with guns but do not report that they have guns. There should be tracking so that we know who owns a gun in this country. That does not happen now. Maybe people do not know where to report that ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I do not know what should be done in this context because people do not know where to report these matters. These are not criminals, but they do not know where to report these issues. That is my observation. Otherwise, tracking of guns is a good thing in order to enhance security in this country. Tracking will address security matters in this country very well. Tracking includes tracking human beings. If you are an international criminal, Interpol will always track you and catch up with you. This is the same way guns should be tracked and owners found. When tracking ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. First, there is no doubt that health information and records management are very important aspects in any health sector. There is a lot that goes on within that area in terms of information about patients, their transfers from one place to another and their records following them to the next level. What has been observed is that records are kept manually. Time has come when these records should be computerized, so that they are accurate and safe. This is so that they can be retrieved any ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First, let me congratulate my colleague, Hon. Cecilia Ngetich for this Bill. Time has come for us to look at becoming an industrialised nation. That has been sung all over. Everybody talks about Vision 2030, and how Kenya is moving towards industrialisation. This is one of the processes that must be considered. This Bill, therefore, comes at the right time. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: We know that we have had institutes of technology. There was a time in the 1970s and 1980s when the whole country was doing Harambees for institutes of technology. We were going to have students going to study artisan courses which were then missing. Then, we had so many of them and at a certain point, artisans disappeared. We do not see many of them. Nobody is going for this training; if they do, they are not recognised. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: As it has already been said, a number of artisans, or technologists, who have existed in this country have suffered in terms of recognition. There are no standards set. There is no recognition. There is a lot of discrimination. So, many young people no longer want to go for studies in the area of artisanry, or technologists, because jobs are also not there. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The people who have dominated this area of profession have been those top notch engineers who are produced in the universities. This is the group that Mhe. Gumbo was talking about. These are specialists. The engineers who graduated from university are good but they are high level. They are mainstream engineers. There are engineers of technology, civil engineers The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: and electrical engineers. They are top notch but they always work together with artisans. They have been consultants. They construct but they do not do the work on the ground. They employ artisans to help them. They work together as a team. I do not see why we should now discriminate, so much that we do not allow them to also have a body that can regulate their work. Many of them are not regulated. They are also messing up. That is why there are many accidents. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: When I was building my house, I did not use top notch constructors. I used these middle level ones. They did a perfect job but if there were to be a problem in that house, I would not sue the person, or demand my rights as somebody whose work has been messed up. The board is going to regulate this group of people that has been neglected for a long time. We will be able to inspect their work, regulate it and say that these are young people who are getting jobs because they are now professionally recognised. A body ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to support this amendment that has been brought by Hon. Kaluma. In his presentation, he made a very passionate appeal and I believe he is very right. When I came to this House, I constantly heard many older hon. Members saying that this is a House of debate, customs and traditions. That gave us so much power that this is a very important House. The role we play is very critical. This House of debate exposes you to debates on sensitive matters which should be protected ... view
