• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to share with the House that it would be useful to look at that Report and the statistics. I have seen that there are times when as we make statements as has been observed, we either generalise and begin to look like we are taking sides or we make statements that we cannot verify. I submit that in terms of how we would begin to bring temperatures down; how we would also hold each other accountable; and how we would ensure that the public service which is what we will not be changing ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I know Members are aware that these reports are available, we might want to look at that report. I want to share that Hon. Mwadime by enabling us to debate this in a very open way here has also helped us begin to look within ourselves. Even in our Committee as we debated and looked at different public participations and sort of took into account the reports that were The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: brought based on the research that was done particularly by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, we found that we sometimes bring our DNA. Unfortunately, currently in Kenya we need to acknowledge that we have lost the national ethos. There is a sense that because of the manner in which public resources are distributed or are perceived to be distributed, we tend, as Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal had said earlier, to see ourselves more from the dimension of our communities instead of seeing ourselves from the perspective of Kenya. This is a matter of concern at times when we debate in ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I am emphasising this because I would like to remind this House that we are privileged to be here as legislators, representatives of the people and those who exercise oversight. We have made reference to the BBI. I would want to encourage all of us because we are in a point in history that we will be judged very harshly if we get overwhelmed by the energy we see when we are out on campaigns, but in this space where we can take time, we do not raise fundamental issues. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I would like to encourage all of us to remember that when we talk about BBI it is in the backdrop of what we saw as the handshake which by itself pointed nine issues, one of which is directly affected here. There was the issue of inclusivity, unemployment when looking at the youth and the way we lack national ethos, corruption and tribalism. Looking at the country there is a sense of the need to move forward. This Bill speaks to the core because it enables us to ensure we put annexes between inclusivity and good governance. If we have ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to support this crucial Amendment Bill, that is, the National Youth Council (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 8 of 2019). This is a Bill that is coming at the right time. We have conducted our national population census and we have seen that the young people in this country constitute over half of our population. They are over 73 per cent. Majority of them are unemployed, untrained and unbanked. They face a myriad of challenges. These young people live in our counties. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: young people in the streets with degrees and they have nothing to do apart from the boda boda business. Young people in this country should not look at boda boda as the only business they can engage in. We need to diversify. It comes with capacity building, training and how we empower our young people. I have looked at the Amendment Bill and, it is good. It is looking at how we can strengthen the National Youth Council at the national level. We have to bear in mind that majority of the young people live in our counties. The county ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: things that if implemented, will ensure that our young people live dignified lives. You cannot be in a situation where to Nairobi all the way from Isebania border or Vanga in Mombasa or Turkana the only people you are seeing are young people using boda bodas . That is not the job of young people in this country. Education must guarantee employment. There is no point of going to university when the university cannot guarantee you employment to put food on the table for your family. We have to be very serious. And that is why I support this Bill ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to support the Equalisation Fund Bill which was brought by Hon. Kamket, Member for Tiaty. He and I have a history of going to the school of journalism together. I really want to thank him because he thought about an issue that affects most counties. view
