• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the basis of the foregoing analysis that has been tabulated in the recent past giving us details on poverty levels, population trends and other socio-economic dimensions, it is evident that as a nation, we have failed to create gainful employment to our population and especially the youth. Second to this, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the education system has not been able to provide enough middle level colleges and other tertiary educational facilities to train our youth in skills development. But, sadly, even those who have been trained and have some formal skills have ... view

• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude by encouraging all of us to consider expending a bit of our CDF funds to facilitate these youths, so that, not only are they able to be facilitated at the grassroots level, but they are also able, in the meantime before these policy interventions by the Government are put in place, to undertake some of these things that we have talked about. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Nairobi Metro 2030 Strategy requires approximately Kshs33.2 trillion to implement. (b) The Ministry expects to raise the funds from a number of sources. (i) From the Treasury, which will include direct Government of Kenya funding and funding support from development partners, as well as infrastructure bonds. (ii) Contributions by other Government agencies and Ministries. (iii) Private-public partnership. (iv) Private investments. It should be noted that the Metro 2030 Strategy programmes are interventions required for the region and not for the Ministry only. It is the sum total of all the investments ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is said that Rome was not built in a day. Where there is no vision, people perish. Our mandate was to come up with the Metro Strategy that would upgrade this City to a metropolitan status by the year 2030. What we have presented is the list that is required by the Ministry. I have gone ahead to explain that we do not expect to raise all these from the Central Government. We believe that we need to partner with the private sector to actualize this vision. Soon we will be tabling the Metropolitan Bill before ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that this is achievable. We have a blue print for it. Anybody can interrogate it and see how achievable it is. All we are waiting for is for our Bills to be passed so that we have a platform. This is the sum total of all the development activities that will be undertaken both by the private sector, the Government and everybody else who will undertake anything within the area that will now be designated as the metropolitan region. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to assure the nation and those enjoying all development activities within the metropolitan region that this intended to be a continous exercise. All we are doing right now is implement our activities according to the budgetary allocation that we have. But we are eagerly awaiting the passing of the Metropolitan Bill so that, as a Ministry, we then provide this country with a platform to raise funds to implement all our strategies. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Under the old Constitution, we were working with 15 local authorities. Under the new Constitution, we will operate within at least seven counties. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. It is indeed a very bad day for us to see how we are debating such an important issue and trying to bring it down to the level of something that can just be wished away. Kenya is independent. Forty seven years ago we got our Independence but it looks like some countries have not actually accepted that we are indeed an independent nation. I wish to reply to hon. Ms. Karua and it is sad that she has walked out. She has stated that this matter was ... view
