• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak on the Employment (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 79 of 2019) that was moved by Hon. Gideon Keter. Hon. Gideon Keter is a youth who is properly representing the youth in this House. We know that the employment issue is very emotive when it comes to the youth. Currently, our country has four million unemployed youth. That is a ticking time bomb if not taken care of. The youth have always been taken for granted in this country. You remember the shenanigans around the Building ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: spending a lot of money apart from the money they spend tarmacking or potholing - because our tarmacs are full of potholes - around the country seeking employment. They also pay the Government a lot of money when searching for jobs that are not there. The Bill seeks to remedy such expenses that are levied on our youth, so that potential employers can only request for such certificates when they are assured that a person has been shortlisted and is going for an interview and have benefitted from the employment. Currently, the youth can apply for as many as a ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: riders, mama mboga, and kiosk owners. What will sort out the four million youths in this country is the bottom-up economic model. Some people do not understand because they are thinking in terms of the bottom... They are thinking in terms of alcoholism. Indeed, this will be the saviour of this time bomb that is youth unemployment. I urge Hon. Gideon Keter that as we go forward, we should also try to convince the Executive to be specific. We should invest in labour intensive infrastructure rather than capital intensive infrastructure. Our country is still poor, but we have enough human ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Wangwe is also far from being a businessman. My time is up. The Nairobi Express Way is capital intensive. It will use a lot of money, Kshs80 billion to be specific. For example, if it was affordable housing, we would have created… view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Whether it is borrowed money or not, it is Kenyans who will eventually pay it. The borrowed money is Kenyans money. It is through the private-public partnership (PPP). Kenyans will eventually pay. If we used the Kshs80 billion in the affordable housing plan, it would construct approximately 80,000 units and each unit would require five plumbers and five carpenters. We would have created 400,000 jobs instead of 3,000 jobs. Do your maths well! I am clear in my mind and I know what I am talking about. view

• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am an honourable Member of Parliament. When Hon. Amos Kimunya, whom I respect very much as my leader, says that I am talking to appeal to people out there, really, I am not appealing to anybody. We are making a law. I have mentioned employment of PWDs and the youth. So, am I appealing to anybody out there? He is out of order. I am representing my constituents. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I am not appealing to anybody. I am stating the facts. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: As we support what Hon. Ochieng’ and Hon. Mbadi have said, let us not run the risk of being taken to court, because this is the only way you can amend the law currently. We should consult with the Attorney-General and our legal officers to find a way in which all the laws that have minister are changed to cabinet secretary in a manner that will not attract the Omtatah type taking us to court. view
