• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Recently, we heard the President telling Kenyans to use approved agencies when looking for jobs aboard. Which are these approved agencies if the Ministry does not know them, and cannot provide a list to Kenyans so that they can know who is recruiting? These are the small loopholes that we need to strengthen, so that as Kenyans go out there, they live a life of dignity. Allow me to tell the Committee that we are expecting other reports of Qatar because this is a country we have heard in the recent past has these kinds of engagements. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support the Report of the Committee. It is a good Report and I love the fact that the Committee is proposing to establish an international anti-corruption academy. As a Committee we had an opportunity to visit Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to study and exchange ideas with the Parliament of Malaysia. We saw how they have finely managed to curb corruption in that country. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Malaysia has established a similar academy that is known as the Malaysia Anti- Corruption Academy (MACA) which works around what the Committee is proposing. Every year the president of that country sits in the House to give a report on the state of anti-corruption activities in that country. If you remember, Kenya and Malaysia by the time of Independence had the same Gross Domestic Product (GDP). But, if you go to Malaysia because of anti-corruption laws, it has succeeded. The fact that we want to establish this academy will enable us to address this issue that is rampantly eating into ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Corruption is not about money and tangible things. People should know that corruption is the smallest things we do that the public does not see. For example, if a leader who is entitled to have office employees his or her son or relatives, that amounts to corruption. It is not just what we see that we can quantify as corruption. We need to address the whole issue of corruption in this country. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy that the Committee is proposing that this academy should do public outreaches which will go a long way in terms of teaching the community about corruption. This country has an education sector. We should ensure that as we develop curriculum for this academy, even our schools’ curriculum mainstreams the issues of anti-corruption so that our children in Grades One, Two, Three and Four are able to learn about these values we are seeking to entrench in this country. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Lentoimaga and Hon. Millie-Odhiambo have mentioned that corruption has taken a different face and is getting into our religious institutions. We need to examine them and engage them in the fight against corruption so that we can have what the President is calling zero tolerance to corruption in this country. Let me say from where I sit that corruption has killed the economy of this country. It is high time we set international standards and work together with the EACC. We should put together the efforts of the EACC and other anti-corruption bodies and pull up our socks in ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me to support this Report. Thank you. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I contributed to this Motion as well. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support a very important Bill that touches on early childhood education. The ECD is a foundation. It is everything for a child. It is what really shapes our children into what they become. It is important that we are discussing and putting emphasis on ECD. As we talk about the ECD, I want to bring in the issue of children with disabilities. The Early childhood Development centres must be inclusive of children with disabilities. If we are talking about ECD and how we can put together infrastructure that makes it ... view
