• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I totally agree with Hon. Gichigi that we need to conduct some research and thus, three minutes might not be enough. As you have directed, I do not know how to move an amendment and so, I would gladly ask the Deputy Majority Leader to make an amendment on the same. I totally agree that we need to discuss those Government policies. They are policies we need to look into. We should make enough contribution for each policy at it is indicated in the Order Paper. Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for bringing the Motion. I rise to support the adoption of Sessional Paper No. 2. As it has been said, this country is becoming an industrial nation. We do not want to depend on people who are living in classes. Industrial training is a very important issue in this country. These days, it is not everybody who has an opportunity of getting employment in offices. We need to support those kinds of policies in this country because of the young people out there who ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The industrial training is going to bring a huge change. It will instil some practical skills in our young people so that they can go out there and be able to earn a living from the skills that they have acquired. If you look at attachment, so many young people are coming from different colleges and are seeking for attachment in various institutions. That is important because as those young people get some skills in various institutions, they need to be acquainted with the current practices. As it has been said by the Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: and Social Welfare, it is very important because initially, you would find people just going to colleges to get some theoretical training without understanding the demand in the job market. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: This is going to bring a very big change in this country where young people will have an opportunity to practise what they have learnt. If you look at what has just been said, technology is changing on a daily basis. People need to be acquainted with those changes in technology. As the Seconder has said again, we not only need to look at this country but also to prepare young people to export those kinds of acquired skills. I do not want to use the word “manpower” because the Vice-Chairperson has said that it is a little bit discriminative. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Just the other day we were talking about the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPPSET) Corridor Project and the new found oil in Turkana. It will be transported all the way through a pipeline. We have welders who are just concentrating on training only for purposes of welding iron. The pipeline is not just about steel and iron. It might be of another substance. We need proper trained welders to be able to make the pipeline. Otherwise, what we will end up having are welders being imported from other places to the country. We need to have welders who are trained ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The training curriculum is also important. Each institution will have its own training curriculum that can be in tandem with the current requirement. We have talked about the emerging new technology. Issues are changing. As it has been said in the observations which were done by the Committee, it is the actual thing on the ground as it is. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the adoption of Sessional Paper No. 2 that is on National Industrial Training and Attachment Policy. I can see the light is on. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just need your guidance. I left my card here. I want to contribute but I cannot. All I am saying--- view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Sorry. Give me an opportunity to contribute. Please, I beg you. view
