• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: (1) Whether the Government of Kenya and WHO guidelines on handling of persons who have died of COVID-19 were adhered to in the handling of the body of James Oyugi; (2) Why it was necessary to throw the body of the deceased into a shallow grave at 2 a.m. - barely 20 hours after his death - considering the treatment of such other situations where one was allowed more than two weeks and another allowed three days before burial; (3) Who made the decision on the manner of the disposal of the body and whether the family members of the ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to start by thanking Hon. Gideon Keter for doing something that should have been done long time ago. He should have known better because he was part of the National Youth Council before he came to Parliament and he understands the challenges that are faced by that particular body. I am no longer a youth. I am turning 40 this year. I have passed that bracket now, but I have youth issues at heart. I have been the Secretary General of the Kenya Young MPs Association for the last four years. So, I ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: This is a very simple Bill. The Bill seeks to strengthen the structure of engagement with young people in the discourse of all public affairs in this country as provided for in the National Youth Council Act. We could talk about so many things but, if you want young people to participate and engage with what happens in daily lives, the best way to go about it is to have systems and structures that enable them to participate in the county government processes, constituency processes, ward processes and national discourses. If you want them to participate, they must be organised ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: This Bill, in a nutshell, is saying that we have got a National Youth Council1 that has not been operationalised for the last eight years. Why so? Because we left a very important role for constituting the Council to a Cabinet Secretary. It says at Clause 5(g) that eight members of the Youth Council are to be elected through a system to be prescribed by the Cabinet Secretary. It is discretionary, carte blanche, and a blank cheque. No one knows what the Cabinet Secretary is supposed to do to make this work. So, what Hon. Keter is proposing this morning ... view

• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I said during KANU days, there used to be a very strong youth movement in this country. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I did not say anything else. If you heard anything else, it was probably a slip of the tongue. There used to be a very strong youth movement in this country. We knew the chairman of the KANU youth, secretary-general and how it worked. The reason we decided to depoliticise this is so that we have a youth council that takes care of all shades of opinion, all shades of colour, race and all that so that everybody gets represented within that particular framework. For eight years, this has not happened because of fear that if you open it up, ... view
