• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I understand the importance of this Motion, not forgetting that this is a House of debate. At the same time, going by the importance of the debate, we would want so many Members to be able to contribute to the Motion. I plead with you to allow us to reduce the time of debate from 10 minutes to five minutes for each Member speaking. view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I also thank Hon. Keynan for the good work he has done. It is unfortunate. I attended the International Youth Day early this month in Nakuru and the cry of the young people regarding the Fund and their welfare was echoed by every speaker who rose to air their frustrations. They said that monies are set aside for purposes of assisting young people to establish businesses and do other development issues.

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This country is blessed with young Kenyans who have brilliant ideas on entrepreneurship and they can advance and do business if they are given an opportunity with the introduction of the YEDF, which was supposed to assist young people. Every member here will tell you that when they do their strategic plan for their NGCDF, one of the main problems that arise in every constituency in the whole Republic is unemployment. The idea of coming up with the YEDF was to assist bridge that gap by reducing the percentage of unemployed young people. Our young people struggle to do their ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: A study that was done the other day indicated that a big percentage of young people who were asked how they would like to get rich said they do not care. They just said that as long as they are rich within the shortest possible time, the better for them. It means that this is the ideology that even young Kenyans have developed now. It does not matter how you get the money as long as you get it. It is unfortunate that this is happening. As it has been said by other speakers, the law needs to take its ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that a whole organisation can transact serious business involving a huge amount of money without getting approval. Sometimes, we wonder that this happens within organisations with internal audit departments and other internal mechanisms which are supposed to highlight some of these issues before they happen. It is unfortunate that most of the internal audit departments are, again, compromised or have a hand in the same aspect. How do you not obtain approval, payment is done and the internal department does not air that kind of issue? In future, Parliament needs to enhance the capacity of internal audit ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: have that kind of excess money within the YEDF. It is important for us to look at the laws, particularly those that are brought just a year before elections. We should scrutinise them and not just pass regulations or legislation that will give some leeway to some banks. We might be blaming the two young Kenyans, but they read the law and saw the loophole they could use and they used it. They will just say that they were allowed by the law to do that. So, it is important for us to look at the legislation that is brought ... view

• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is about the procedure. I have something to inquire about Clause 11(A). When you say Clause 11, I thought we were going to Clause 11(A). view
