Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, let me thank Hon. Ochieng who originated this Bill in the last Parliament and it went through the process up to the level of presidential assent but it came back again. Let me thank Hon. Wamalwa for making sure that it does not die. He made the necessary amendments and that is why we have this Bill with us today. I personally feel I need to support this Bill. Sometimes you find our parastatals being run by people who are not competent ...

Most of our parastatals are run by people who are appointed politically. Sometimes they might not be having the necessary qualifications to run those institutions but because they are close to the powers that be, they get down to work with CEOs who are very smart and cleverer than them. When they sit in the board, they do not make any decisions, they just become rubberstamps to confirm whatever has been decided by the board. In the long run, it ends up being a one man show in the institution and if things go wrong, the board members will just ...

job because even if we are to appoint anybody and you want to do it even in a friendly manner, you must at least be qualified to work in that institution.

This vetting should be very thorough for these members, more so the institute should have a curriculum. Even those who are already in leadership positions in various institutions, there should be some refresher courses for them after a while to take them back. We have seen many institutions going under. At the end of the day, we find that the board of directors are sacked and if they are not sacked, they are taken to court and we do not know how long the cases take but already the milk is spilt. Therefore, we live to regret why we did ...

I believe this particular institute will have the claws, teeth and muscle to make sure that we streamline whatever issues we have and teething problems in our parastatals. The Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) have their body and their own disciplinary action. Similarly, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has its own framework on how they handle their members in terms of disciplining and also recruiting them. The Institute of Architects does the same and so are the bodies of engineers, doctors and other professionals. Therefore, even people who aspire to be directors in our institutions need to have their own ...

Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa nafasi hii kuchangia hii Hoja ambayo imeletwa na mwenzangu, Mhe. Waluke. Ukiangalia hapa nchini Kenya, kile ambacho kinatufanya kila wakati tunaleta haya mambo wakati ambapo Serikali inaomba pesa nyingi kutoka nje, ama ile mikopo ambayo tunaagiza, ni kutotilia maanani zile kazi ambazo Wakenya wanafanya hapa na zile ambazo zinaweza kufaidi hii nchi kwa kuleta hela nyingi. Ukiangalia wakulima wa hili taifa la Kenya ni kama hilo suala limeachwa nje na Serikali ya Kenya. Utakuta zile bidhaa ambazo zinaagizwa kutoka kule nje ni bidhaa ambazo tunazitengeneza hapa nchini. Kama Serikali itayatilia maanani ...

Asante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunilinda. Nilikuwa naongea kuhusu ile miraa ambayo tunakuza. Ni kilimo ambacho kama Serikali ingekitilia maanani na waitafutie soko kule, tungekuwa tunapata hela nyingi.

ya Israeli imeanza kununua ile miraa kutoka mwezi huu. Hizo ni pesa ambazo zitafaidi Serikali kwa njia kubwa. Ukiona zile bidhaa ambazo tunaagiza kutoka nje, ni bidhaa za hela nyingi ukilinganisha na zile ambazo sisi tunauza kule nje. Kwa hivyo, kama Serikali ingetilia mkazo wakulima wa hapa nchini, nadhani zile pesa ambazo tungekuwa tunaomba kutoka kule nje zingekuwa chache na mwananchi hangefinyiliwa na Serikali kwa kulipa kodi. Kwa hivyo, kile ambacho kinafanya wananchi walipe kodi ya juu ni Serikali imefeli kutekeleza yale ambayo yanaweza kumsaidia mwananchi katika kukuza bidhaa hapa ili tupate pesa nyingi. Wakati ambapo hii Hoja itapita, ni ...
