• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: come from different countries. We get the biggest influx of refugees from the countries which surround us. There are others who come from afar, even abroad, and try to hide here. We need to engage the international community, the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN) so that the country should not carry the burden of maintaining and taking care of these refugees. We need to have a framework whereby the international community chips in for the temporary stay of these people who have come from their motherland because of one reason or the other. As the Bill states, ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity on my own behalf and on behalf of my family and the people of Igembe Central to send my heartfelt condolences to the Otuomas. I knew Hon. Otuoma even before I came to this Parliament because he is married from my place. The mother to the deceased is a daughter to the late Erastus Mbaabu who was a former Provincial Commissioner and they neighbour my constituency. I have also known Hon. Otuoma for a while because my own daughter is married in Funyula. When I went to pay dowry for my ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion by Hon. Mwaura. Let me take this opportunity to thank my colleague Hon. Mwaura for bringing this Motion, especially the fact that it touches our youth. The youth, as we know, are the backbone of any nation or family or any other organisation. If we do not nurture our youth the right way, we might produce half-baked people who would not carry the country to the Kenya Vision 2030 as we envisage, or more so to see the growth of the nation. Our youth have ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: There are a lot of subjects which our children study these days. You will find a Standard Four pupil is carrying a bag heavier than himself or herself because one has to read so many books. But at the end of the day, you cannot tell what that child will specialise in. Until you get to university, you will find that many of them will drop out on the way maybe because their lines of development as far as academics is concerned were distorted somewhere in the system. I pray the education system being developed now will cater for individual ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Government has to invest in its people as the Motion urges. We have to invest in this one because for us to have those talents developed properly, there should be an investment on the same. It should be from the word go. We should also create an enabling environment within our systems that will help those youths to develop their talents further. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Some countries have started talent academies. They should be supported and funded properly through the county governments so that those with talents can advance them there. We have the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives which, most of the time, is given a raw deal when we make the Budget. It is not given enough money to start industries which can take in those youths so that they can develop their talents there. We are a country that exports a lot of materials or goods in their raw form to foreign countries. When you follow those products, most of which ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Power or electricity is a necessity in this country, especially in the rural areas. You will find that there are some places where darkness has never left them. People cannot charge their phones and yet, we are in a digital world. Our children have laptops and iPhones. An iPhone will stay for 24 hours without power because there is no power where the youth are. They cannot get it unless they go to the shopping centre or when they go back to school. Therefore, Kenya Power and the Rural Electrification Authority should put their best feet forward and install power ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: and Cooperatives to see that this one is done. If we do not do that, even Vision 2030 will be a pipe dream. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support Hon. Mwaura’s Motion. Thank you. view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Petition by Hon. Jude Njomo. Garbage collection in this country and especially in urban areas is a big problem which has been there for a very long time. It appears that the institutions concerned have never taken the time to come up with a permanent solution to this. If you go to each and every urban area especially here in Nairobi and other big cities, garbage is disposed of near places where people live and in rivers. It is quite a health hazard. It is a big ... view
