• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Coming from Marsabit, that borders Ethiopia, the issue of acquiring identification cards and birth certificates is not easy. Unless something is done many young people are not able to access jobs, colleges and they cannot freely move around in their own country. In other countries, just having the national social security number and a driving licence, enables one to transact all the business which the can do. In Kenya, this is far from it. Having a birth certificate, national identification card and passport are constitutional documents. Where one should be able to access jobs, also security documents and documents that ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: What is critical is that the process of replacing a lost identity is just like acquiring a new one. This is unacceptable because the data of the various individuals is already captured. One teething problem that I have as a Member for Saku is that young men and women who are admitted to middle level colleges, and even universities, use waiting forms for the identity cards. When it comes to Sitting for their examinations, they are told that unless they produce the identity cards, they cannot sit for the examinations. That is very inconveniencing and unacceptable. I wish to finish ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I thank the Mover of this Motion for bringing it. It is not as simple as this Motion reads. It is an issue at the heart of this nation. I beg to support. view

• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The question that we should be asking, as hon. Members, is whether agriculture is profitable or whether producing food for the country is a rewarding job. Milk is such an important food item for the young, the old and the hospitalised. Even doctors advise patients to take milk. The question that still begs is what happens if there is no milk. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to add my voice to what the last speaker said on value addition. We used to have Agricultural Extension Officers, whose principal tasks include teaching farmers better agricultural practices, one of which is how to add value to their produce. In the world that we live today, there is the saying that the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. Those in the oil industry get richer every day as the farmer producing milk in Uasin Gishu, Kiambu and Isiolo toils every day. They feel like giving up. It also reminds ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We must look at fair pricing to ensure that farmers can work hard, so that farming can be a full time and rewarding job. In the United States of America (USA), the farming population is only 20 per cent but they feed the 80 per cent population that live in cities. The USA Government is very keen on farmers producing more. Farmers in the USA are given subsidies to ensure that they do not incur any losses. It is only in Kenya where we hear of milk glut. In itself, the phenomenon challenges the laws of economics. It is better ... view
