• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to say that the amendment Bill brought by hon. Sakaja is part of the affirmative action which is contained in our Constitution under Article 55 and Article 227. When we are looking at empowering the youth and making them part of the socio- economic base of this country, we must look at how they will access, first the contracts and the money because if we do not do that, then I think what to achieve will be just a pipe dream. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: In South Korea, what happens if youngsters or the youth would like to come up with companies or have innovative ideas, is that the government gives them concessional options, so that they can experiment and expand the frontiers of knowledge. We can also borrow from what happened during the colonial period, where the European countries at that time were allowing people to go to different continents in the world by giving them money or helping them so that they discover new areas and territories. In the process, those countries were able to colonize most parts of the world. However, in ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I think the issue is youth companies; if we are saying we should give the youth 30 per cent, then today we must ask ourselves--- As legislators we must ask ourselves whether our youth are able to, in the first place, come up with companies. This is because registering a company alone may cost them about Kshs30,000 or Kshs40,000. Can many of them afford that? On the other hand, whereas I think this Bill is noble, through the sort of conveyor belt that we are using in this House, the important part is enforcement and operationalisation of these Bills, so ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, over the years we have not been able to engage our youth properly and that is why we have a lot of violence and crime. In recent months, we have had problems in the county of Marsabit; one of the reasons why that happened was primarily because the youth were being misused by different groups in that county. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think when we say that we need standards, all institutions must have standards. I, therefore, beg to support the amendment. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. This Motion is important. I do not stand to oppose this Motion, but I think it is very sad in the history of this country where soldiers are going to be deployed with arms in their own country when we have police and the Administration Police who are solely responsible for internal security in the country.

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: soldiers, under Article 241 of the Constitution, their role is very clear, that is, to safeguard the national sovereignty of the Republic of Kenya. If we are going to deploy armed soldiers in any part of the country we must go further and look at why that constitutional necessity has taken place. It means that those counties will have failed and they are not functioning properly. We cannot hide from that fact. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill. I wish to support it for several reasons. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The thrust of this Bill takes us to historical precedence in other countries. Firstly, there is the 14th Amendment of the United States of America to correct the rights against the black people since the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862.
