• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Amendment Bill. I reiterate what the Member has just said about depoliticising the NYC and which our friend Hon. Keter has emphasised. The people taking up these positions for the youth should bear no political inclination because that is how we will get pure members. In fact, the way one comes to Parliament should be competitive so that you do not just come here because a certain political party says it wants you. They should go through some competitive processes so that the youth feel ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The youth in Kenya are faced with a lot of challenges. These proposed amendments seek to give them the right leadership that will address the challenges they face, particularly unemployment. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: As the Whip of the Majority Party stated, we do not expect a youth to have experience when he is looking for employment because he or she has just finished school. Where will he or she get the experience from? The youth are literally marginalised. By asking experience of them before you give them a job or needing them to have capital before you award them a tender, you are already marginalising them. When they want to further their education, their parents tell them that for them to get a second degree they need to fund themselves. Where will they ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The youth should borrow a leaf from the women in the way they drive their agenda. We want the youth to drive their agenda with the spirit and energy of the ladies. The ladies always shout at the top of their voices about gender issues. We want to hear the youth also doing exactly the same. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Another issue, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). They have told us that the youth agenda will be addressed. We hope and pray that it shall be so. I think it is already too political and I wonder whether they will address youth issues. I request and appeal to Hon. Keter, the Mover of the Motion, not to over rely much on the BBI. Let him drive his agenda the way he has been doing it. Let him effect the amendments he has proposed and let the youth be vibrant in fighting for their matters. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I support the Hon. Member who talked about a certain percentage of money to be put aside in counties and even in our NG-CDF. That way, we will address the youth issues and their agenda. We do not expect the youth to start business ventures without money. Literally, nothing can move without a budget. We need to give out some portion of the money. Parliament should take the lead and set aside funds for the youth through the NG-CDF and the counties. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: As we go global, we need to realise that there are many countries with job opportunities. Let us have a way of sending our youth to those countries which have job vacancies in various sectors. The youth who went to Australia or Canada have managed to get job opportunities there. What can we do, through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, to take our qualified youth to those countries? There is no need of sitting with them here when they are doing virtually nothing. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: With those remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Bill. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: On behalf of the great people of Keiyo South and on behalf of my family, I also wish to send special condolences to the family of the late Mzee Moi. He was the king of peace and unity without BBI. He handed over power peacefully without BBI. He achieved inclusivity without BBI. We want others to learn to hand over power when their time comes without BBI. May his soul rest in eternal peace. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Reading the mood of the House and seeing the business still ahead of us is long, I rise on Standing Order No. 95 and propose that the Mover be called upon to reply. view
