• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for that protection. I was saying that it is at age 35 to 50 years that persons can make proper use of money. When you get to 65 years, instead of waiting for the Kshs2,000 to be paid by the Government, you will already have established your own fund to sustain yourself, your children and those who might be depending on you. We have so many funds in this 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
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: country. I support this particular one too, but we should have structures put in place for disbursement and control. We should sustain the programmes which came up. Uwezo Fund is already experiencing teething problems. We have been talking about it since the current Government took power. To date, its money has not been disbursed. Proposals have been prepared and everything put in place, but bureaucracy is so heavy and rigid that this money is yet to be released. We are unable to tell the people what is going to happen next. We do not know what is in the offing. ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my neighbours here have another meeting. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to conclude by saying that I support this Motion. We should put in place proper structures for the funds that we are creating in this country, so that they benefit the people of this country. Let us not talk of a fund being approved, yet implementing it becomes an impossibility or a problem. I mentioned Uwezo Fund as one of them. The Cash Transfer Fund has teething problems, because people are not benefitting. They have to trot to and from their homes to look for their money. By the time they get the Kshs2,000 ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I support the Motion on motorcycles as tabled in this House by hon. David Ochieng. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the boda boda industry has come to this country as a storm. If you may allow me, I would say that it has caught the leadership of this country and citizens off-guard because the speed at which it is growing has outlived the measures by the Government and leaders to have it running smoothly so that we can benefit and maximize its use. The boda boda industry came at a time when transport systems were problematic. Given that most of our roads in the rural areas are in a dilapidated state, the motor vehicles could not ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: First, it has created employment for our youths who are riding the motorcycles. It has also brought employment to those who have invested in the industry. We have also seen in the rural areas several shops selling motorcycles and spare parts. Those spare parts are in very high demand because of the number of motorcycles operating in the rural areas. The dealers are now spreading across the country. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to urge the Government to come up with a policy to assemble those motorbikes in our country, instead of importing those machines from China and other countries. We can start a subsidized industry by the Government. I understand those machines are not complicated to manufacture. We can get those parts before they are assembled and assemble them here. In the process, we can create jobs for our young people. We can start training them in our training institutions so that they can gain skills of assembling motorbikes and, in the course of time, ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an issue of licensing. Driving licences and insurance of the same machines has been assumed. I do not know if the Traffic Department has this in mind. Those motorcycles are taken to be more of bicycles. When they appear in the market, those who buy them are not directed to know exactly what is supposed to be done. Most of them end up buying and failing to register them. Others just exchange them, sell them and other people buy them. Sometimes, it becomes like buying a shirt from the shop and, at the end ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the young people who ride those motorbikes just go to a school field and get trained for an hour or so and the following day, they ride the motorcycles. That is very dangerous for the pedestrians and passengers. That is why we have got each and every county in this country with a ward somewhere in the hospital with so many victims of motorbike accidents. Those who survive the accidents are now languishing in hospitals with broken ribs. We need proper training for motorbike riders. view
