• 17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Article 23 of our Constitution is on the authority of courts to uphold and enforce the Bill of Rights. This, therefore, is indicative that our courts are at the forefront in ensuring that the rights of individuals are respected. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to provide social justice. In this particular case, as we go to the Third Reading Stage of the Contempt of Court Bill, we must avoid contradiction on the part of this Bill. I invite you to read Clause 10 of this Bill on the strict liability rule. In this Act, the strict liability ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Petition before the National Assembly is a necessary one. The Government must perform its duties. If a serving police officer is on duty and then in the course of discharging his or her duties an accident occurs, the family should not unnecessarily suffer the consequences of the officer’s accident. What happened is not the individual officer’s or his family’s making. This is a serious Petition and so we need to expedite it. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Hon. Mwaura is a good man when he is not leading those men in black. This is a good Motion. It is good to the extent that we live in a competitive world. To be competitive, it is important that 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
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: we harness the energy of the youth and their mental agility. This will enable our economy to grow and take our country to the next level. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The centrepiece of Vision 2030 is technology. This is science based. If we have to be an industrialised country or a middle income country by 2030, it simply means that our youth in particular have to be extremely innovative to grow the economy, expand the job market and compete with the best in the world. In America, we have the Silicon Valley. This is the incubation point or centre of innovators. If you have a good innovation, you take it, sell and patent it there. The young person who does that begins to live his lifetime dream from that point. ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore have invested in their smartest minds. The Government makes a deliberate effort in those young individuals who are identified at very early stages of their lives because of their innovations and smart ideas so that there are no huddles or bottlenecks for them to achieve their desired dreams by coming up with important innovations that are not just important to themselves but also to their country. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: In Kenya, I believe the Jubilee Administration, by having the Youth Enterprise Development Fund or the Uwezo Fund and the technical institutes, is moving in the right direction. But it must move a step further by identifying research and development centres. Right now, we think we are doing very well because we have the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). Those are based in different fields. On the side of innovations, particularly in industrialisation, computer technology and software development, we can do a lot. If the Government makes a deliberate effort to invest in ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: In the area of research and development, the Government must do something serious and deliberate because if we do not invest in research, many things are not likely to happen. We will just be an import economy where our people will be employing others from overseas. As a result, we will not create enough jobs in our country. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Motion particularly in the creation of jobs for young people. If we are a knowledge-based economy and if we invest in innovation of our young people, we will have employment or unlimited job opportunities. This is really important. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, for this particular thinking to be operationalised, the Government must put in place a deliberate policy so that innovation becomes part of the Government or the establishment. We must allocate money for research, development and innovation in the national Budget. view
