• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: particular Act. We will get county governments dealing with health and get a direction from the national policy which is supposed to be handled by the Ministry of Health. Therefore, I really urge Members to support this Motion. We should begin acting for the constituents we represent. We should begin looking for solutions for the people we see are mentally unwell. Teachers in the education sector should realise or note such children with a history of ill mental health. If those histories are documented early enough, then medication can be accorded. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support and thank you for ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I support the amendment by Hon. Wambugu, my classmate at the University of Nairobi (UoN). It will not be proper for this House… Once proceedings have commenced in the House, then there cannot be other proceedings and it cannot be sub judice, unless it is a comment on a matter which is already pending in the House. In fact, the suit by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) which I respect and I am a member was sub judice to the House. In fact, ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Unemployment is a serious matter in the country. Just like many of us in this House, many of our youths have found themselves in a similar situation of having completed university and it becomes difficult to obtain a tax compliance certificate because they have never earned any money in the first place. It is difficult to have a certificate of good conduct because one has just left school, although even a young person can still have a criminal record. It is also difficult ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: When Hon. Sankok was at university, I had opportunity to represent him. He was fighting for this nation. He was very active at the university level. As soon as he left university, he was lucky to get a job because he is a doctor. Many youths are not as lucky as him neither are they known like him. The whole country knew him even before he left university. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Motion and urge Members to do the same. I thank you. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Energy is very critical and especially in the modern world where we talk of nuclear energy, which has been captured in this Bill. In the previous laws, the issue of nuclear energy was not well-captured. Issues of environment have also been captured in this Bill. The issues of wayleave where electricity or power lines go through somebody’s land which renders some of the areas unusable or make construction impossible because of the power lines have now been captured in this Bill. It ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: complaints which the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum is currently making efforts to resolve. With those two big plans - and I am sure in future we could improve - we will generate more electricity. We also have serious coal reserves in Kitui County, which, once mined, can also be used to generate electricity. It can supplement the current electricity production and is cheaper because it is generated through heating water systems which in turn produce electricity. There is also the issue of clean energy, namely, the use of solar and wind energy. If we keep on using diesel-generated energy, ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As a country, we need to educate our people so that they can know that there are many alternative sources of energy that we can utilise. We can generate solar power in areas where it is not cloudy in the country. We have quite a number of them. Waves can also be tapped and can still generate electricity. In certain countries, this technology had been applied properly. I know there are several commissions and parastatals which deal with energy. The question of nuclear energy is very sensitive. We have seen what has happened to countries where nuclear energy has not ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Power improves safety in the rural homes. I have a habit that every time I go to Makueni Constituency, I buy small solar lamps and give them to school children, especially those who come from homes which do not have electricity. I give them so that they can stop using paraffin, which at times causes accidents. That way, I also educate the rural community that there is an The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: alternative source of lighting which is very clean, useful and which does not affect their studies. I encourage many Members to do that. Solar lamps are sold all over, including at petrol stations. There are many companies which supply them. It is a way of educating our people and we will be sensitised on energy sources. view
