• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: received any financing or have completed paying any loans issued? The Government should have a database for all loanees and who is paying and who is not. This is unnecessary baggage to the young persons and there is no logic in it. Besides that, more jobs come with a caveat of a minimum of three to five years experience. The youth are wondering how they can access employment when experience is sought at entry level grades. This is especially so for Government institutions. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Most undergraduates or students go through internship in organisations to gain job experience in their area of interest before they graduate. This in my view should be considered by employers. If we want to empower our youth, we need to consider how easy to make employment accessible. These bureaucratic measures only help to keep our youth, especially from low income settings, away from accessing gainful employment. It is of utmost importance to note that majority of the job seeking young people come from rural areas and raising bus fare to come to Nairobi or go to other towns to look ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: If we really want our country to be vibrant, we must empower our youth. We can only rely on them when it comes to advancing the current technology. They have the energy to discover new innovations and new skills in the job industry for more productivity at a lower cost. By supporting the youth, the country will develop socially and economically. Therefore, we must tap their energies by removing these bureaucratic measures that only keep their morale very low by keeping them out of employment. I therefore call upon all Members to support the Motion to waive these fees for ... view

• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that the average youth population in Kenya is 35 per cent of the total population of the country; further aware that the majority of this population is in the job market entry level; noting that Article 55 of the Constitution obligates the State to take measures to ensure that the youth access employment; concerned that this access is hindered by the requirement to produce numerous documentation, including tax compliance certificate from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA); Certificate of Good Conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations; Higher Loans Education Board (HELB) clearance certificate, Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of Sessional Paper No.3 of 2017 on the National Policy on Climate Finance. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The country’s economy is greatly reliant on natural resources and, therefore, vulnerable to climate change. Indeed, there is enormous evidence of significant change of climate over the few decades, including the erratic weather patterns and the disappearance of rivers and forests. 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
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: In Nyandarua, many of our rivers have dried up. We have this big problem of water. Children are not going to school because they go to search for water. We have a lake that is drying up, the only lake in Central region. The solution for this requires joint efforts by all. Indeed, I vividly recall last year when the House adopted Sessional Paper No.5 of 2016 on the National Climate Change Framework Policy, which is closely related to the current Sessional Paper. The Policy currently under consideration seeks to set out a guiding framework to enhance national financial systems ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The Policy recognises the institutional structures set out by the Climate Change Act, 2016 passed by the 11th Parliament by establishing legal, institutional and reporting frameworks regarding access and management of climate finance. Furthermore, the Policy sets out some key strategic interventions that can encourage mobilisation of climate finance that include the establishment of a national climate finance platform which is climate change fund, building of capacity to develop viable projects and improved financial standards and management. view
