• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: get them. We have Vision 2030 where we need engineers to do our projects like the Tatu City and the digital cities we are doing, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor Project. All these will require engineers. But you find that because we do not have a body which regulates and stipulates who should do this work and what shares the Kenyan market should get or the Kenyan experts should get, we end up importing engineers all the way from China and other countries whereas we have qualified engineers who could be doing ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Bill. I concur with the amendments as they were presented by the Chairperson of the Committee. These amendments will go a long way in trying to actualise the Constitution, which we are still in the process of making workable and perfect. We are moving a step ahead to see that the Constitution is implemented as is expected by Kenyans. These amendments touch on a wide range of issues, including our economy, social life and also the way we should ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenya being an agricultural country which does not have minerals, I strongly believe that agriculture should be given priority - especially the cash crops despite the fact that synthetics and other products have come in to challenge the same. When there was pyrethrum, many farmers used to get a lot of money especially in Meru - my home area - and in Igembe. When we had pyrethrum, we used to supplement our income. Apart from coffee, tea and view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: we also used to get money from pyrethrum. Today, the area that used to grow pyrethrum now lies fallow. I do not know why the Government should keep on appointing board members and directors and yet, they are not going out to the field or farms to confirm what is being produced, and which they are going to manage. This amendment should ensure that pyrethrum is grown and protected so that it can earn income to our people. I am not talking about pyrethrum alone. There are many other crops which can bring money to this country. But, somehow, the ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: they are chased away. But during the rainy season, they are back. When there is a dry spell, they are chased away by animals. It becomes a big problem and people cannot develop their farms properly. In sports, there is a lot of talent. We have many talented young Kenyans who can perform in each and every field. We have seen the young Kenyan – Julius Yego - who is nicknamed “The YouTube Athlete”. He became who he is by using social media and watching others practicing. We should establish academies and centres of excellence where, if one is not ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me add my voice to this petition which, I believe, is timely. I really support the petitioner. It should be looked into with all the seriousness it deserves. These village elders in some areas, which in my place we call “sub-areas”, do a crucial job, especially in the management of our villages and also in dispute resolution. They did a very good job when we were fighting illicit liquor. The crackdown is going on now. These are the people who identified liquor dens and they assist Administration Police Officers (APs). Usually, chiefs and assistant ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Let me thank my colleague, Hon. Waluke, for bringing this Motion. I support it with amendments. As we argue over the issue of police officers, their terms of service, the way they conduct themselves and what should be done, we should consider whether despite training them, we should give them the right ammunitions, accommodation and other facilities for them to execute their mandate. The problem of the police officers is two-fold, namely, they are trained and given jobs, but are they remunerated to the extent ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Once we train them and send them out or take them to college so that they can perform special duties like ballistic and forensic investigations and documentation, they should be remunerated as per their certificates or what they have been trained in. That is why many officers will go for greener pastures in the private sector or even outside the country. They have the papers and when they bring them back, we retain them with the same salaries or give them a small token. We even retain them in the same premises where they were staying. At the end of ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: will run there. If we give them the right and necessary equipment and ammunition to do their work, I strongly believe that they will remain in the police force. Equally, we should also have some terms. Once you train them, you also need to have an agreement on why you have trained them. We should tell them that we trained them because we wanted them to work in the police force, in certain departments and their services should be seen to be offered within a certain period because money was spent in their training. If you are trained and by ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The Government and the NPSC should wake up after this Motion by Hon. Waluke and ensure that we train our police officers, have a system of exit for them and keep them comfortable in their places of work. We should also arm them properly to fight crime. Most of our officers carry G3 riffles and AK47 and yet they are expected to confront the view
