• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The alumni of any university are very important and ordinarily people are proud of the university they went to. I am very sure people who went to the University of Nairobi are very proud and have very good memories of their old university. Today, it is appalling that students cook in the hostels. They no longer enjoy the privileges we once enjoyed. They do not have the good life once upon a time university students lived. I believe that if the alumni are involved in one way or another like seconding somebody to the senate or ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with Hon. Jude Njomo that our role is to legislate. However, there is a thin line between administrative actions and legislation. Indeed, that is why we have delegated legislation to verify some of the things that we act upon. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I agree that KRA is the most effective institution when it comes to collecting money. It is already doing it. That action has already been taken administratively. The KRA can also withdraw its service. They collect funds for the Nairobi City County. They can be overwhelmed by the collections. I do not think we can really fix it in a law. We must guard against our mandate being taken away. What is the work of the administrators? I support the position that the Government took. This is unfortunate for my good friend, Hon. Jude Njomo. You can overburden KRA through ... view

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, owing to the letter presented by Hon. Njomo from KRA confirming that they have capacity, I first want to withdraw my earlier statement that KRA will be overloaded. Secondly, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co- operatives, it is true that we have a problem of training in this country, especially when people are employed or before they get employment. Industrial training is lacking. Although that component has been devolved, you will still find that it is insufficient. It can still be done at the county and national levels. It is ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, without the benefit of hearing what Hon. Keter was to say, I am left with no choice, but to agree with the amendment. There should be no factors affecting job seekers. It should be made as easy as possible for them to access jobs. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in this country. There are so many cartels, conmen and a lot of corruption. Even for somebody who wants to get into the police service or army, the recruitment process has been problematic. Therefore, owing to the fact that for many Kenyans who go to ... view

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. There are very many community workers in the realm of health across the country who have not been taken care of and in most cases, have been volunteers. Other than midwifery, which my grandmother did for free for many years in Makueni, there are many health workers especially in Makueni, who are volunteers. They work in the community. They assist people to make sure more people are born. A lot of times, it is an emergency situation since the ambulances or the ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: It is good when it is saved. That is why there is training on first aid in schools, both primary and secondary, so that we know what to do in the event of an accident in the village, be it a fall from a tree or bicycle accident. This ensures that those who get such accidents survive and get to a place where they can be taken care of and facilitated. Community healthcare workers have been defined. The moment it is regulated, it becomes much better and Kenyans will receive their health care. I must congratulate the President for what ... view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. First of all, this clause is in the Constitution and it is already in the existing laws of political parties. So, you cannot delete it absolutely. We are trying to improve and make it better so that political parties can have discipline. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I oppose. view
