• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I stand guided. I am sorry. As has been said, Hon. Sakaja was very passionate about it. On the aspect of amending the law so that it includes other people other than the youth, that is a very welcome idea. Previously, only the youth were involved but, this time round, we are bringing on board other aspects where every other person will be considered in the Employment Act. Secondly, it says that the State--- view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this particular amendment states that the State shall encourage private and public institutions to employ Kenyans. This is a welcome idea because the State will be required to compel Kenyan companies to employ locals instead of getting the services of expatriates. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: It also says that the State shall give incentives and reward any private institution that employs Kenyans within six months of acquiring its completion certificate.

The report will show the exact numbers in terms of people who are in employment. view

Many youth fail to get admission into technical institutions for training. They are forced to use other means to be granted admission. So, when this role is removed from KUCCPS, it is going to encourage young people to seek admission into the technical colleges. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the amendment. We will bring a few amendments in the Third Reading. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you. I start with the second one that Hon. Ochieng has just explained. Assuming a person has been nominated from any Ministry or agency and they might not even be there for a long time due to changes and have to go through the same process yet they have not even worked for three months. So, I totally agree with what Hon. Ochieng is saying regarding the amendment in sub clause 2. I was lost for the first one, but after Hon. Kenta explained it, it makes sense. I used to sit on the Kenya Pyrethrum Board and they ... view
