• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: plan forward and tell members of its existence and how it is going to help them solve their disputes. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The reason why we say in Articles 91 and 92 of the Constitution that we want our parties to have a national character is that we also know that our country has very many interests. It has disabled people, women and marginalised groups. That is why we say that parties must, as of law, mainstream this interest in their structures. This Bill talks about how we are going to ensure that the various interests are mainstreamed in these political parties. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: As I pen off, I think that the biggest threat to this country today is something called “Jubilee”. I do not know whether it is a party or a coalition. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The biggest threat to even our Constitution in Kenya is something called “Jubilee”. We cannot have a party that wakes up every day and tries to sell tribalism. It is selling sectarianism. You cannot have a party that does that. We would like to tell President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Deputy President that if they want to form a party, they should form one that they will convince all Kenyans to join not because of their tribe or how their teeth look like but because they believe in the ideas that their party propagates. Thank you very much. I support. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is a very important clause because we have only one college of forestry in this country. In the counties of Siaya, Homa Bay, Busia and Kisumu, where I come from, forest cover has reduced to less than I per cent. That is also happening in the rest of the country. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is important to ensure that the board devolves the college, so that we can have campuses at the Coast, Nyanza and North Eastern regions. Forests are not coming back. They must be created. We must have this board to help us through training to create new forests. They are not only protecting and conserving forests that exist today, but creating new ones through training on proper management of the existing forests. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, the reason why this new function of the board will be important is that students are not joining this college anymore. Very few students are joining the college because we have not made it responsive to contemporary issues around forestry. We need to train students on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as well as on forestry and climate change. New relevant courses should be introduced at the college. This will ensure that we train people to conserve and create forests in a manner that resonates with the current environmental trends. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the amendment. 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
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the amendments that we have passed today are very good. One needs to listen because the amendments are very good. If Hon. Duale was not consulting the president regularly, we would not be bringing good amendments. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: It is very important that you listen, Hon. A.B. Duale. The amendments that you brought on the National Employment Authority Bill are very good. You would have done well to consult the presidency during the time we were debating the Bill. We should sort out these issues beforehand so that it does not have to always come back with good things, but being done in the wrong way. view
