• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister confirm when he intends to hold a meeting with the Ministry of Labour to resolve this crisis? They should not waste time because they need to avert deaths. view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to, first of all, congratulate my young brother for having left the Back bench in style; two leaps forward. I also congratulate him for a job well done. He has brought a Bill which is surely going to address the plight of our youth. In so doing, having come up with such a good Bill, I think it is worth commending him. I cannot fail to mention that we all know that our youth is a time bomb in waiting. One, jobs are not there. Secondly, if we do ... view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we address the sports issue we are specifically addressing the youth. I would want to say that this is a move in the right direction. It will reduce the confusion that we have seen in the various--- view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would also have been very bad for me not to contribute to this very important Bill. Thank you for saving me. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also want to say that while the Bill is addressing the various issues that have been bedeviling this sector, it is important for us to also be wary of the problems that may not be captured. The Minister should know that when we read about Conjestina and we see how she is suffering, we would want to see how the Bill will address such calamities which ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: MR. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like the Assistant Minister to confirm to this House whether those who have applied for IDs and have original receipts issued by the Government will also be registered as voters. view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to bring to the notice of my good friend, hon. Mututho, that yes Cabinet Ministers may be in north eastern, but those are not strategic offices in this Republic. There are offices which are more strategic than that of a Cabinet Minister. We have heard a Cabinet Minister say she has held a better position than that of a Cabinet Minister. Two, it is also good for my colleague to know that infection of jiggers is not a parameter to show levels of poverty. Jiggers can even be a condition of the ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the information of this House - and Mr. Gitari can bear me witness - the Kirinyaga Lands Office is a den of thieves. Could the Assistant Minister consider transferring all the staff members in the District Lands Office to any other corner of this country and, more so, be discliplied? That way, he would be able to investigate and unearth the problems that Mr. Gitari is talking about. But, of course, do not post them to Embu? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about “transfer” because some of them may be innocent. However, because you cannot separate the innocent and the guilty, it is only fair that they all get transferred. Those who are involved in criminal activities, of course, will be sorted out. My words may have been very strong but I would also wish to withdraw the word “thieves”. I am sure that, that is the only remedy for the Kirinyaga Lands Office. They should be taken to far places so that it can act as a disciplinary measure. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this timely Bill. It is a well thought of Bill by Dr. Laboso. I congratulate her for moving it. Before I forget what is ailing our society, there is the issue of children being employed as house girls. I would want this captured somewhere in this Bill, so that much as we know that the Ministry of Labour has a duty, we also want to see social assistance being used to address that issue. To me, there is no other evil in our society than when you see girls below ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The NGOs were created specifically to source for funds to assist the less privileged. We should not see them getting away with it. We need to see this Bill address this very well so that we do not see people take advantage of the less privileged. We should ensure that the funds are delivered. view
