• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: In Clause 21, the Bill allows the use of English, Kiswahili and any other language. I presume that in Wajir the local languages will be Somali, Borana and other small dialects that are spoken there. This makes these courts people-centred. This is moving forward to make it a progressive court and to localise the claims of individuals so that locals can identify with the courts, have confidence and be able to articulate their issues more easily. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: What is more progressive also is the use of Braille and sign languages, which are not mostly expressively stated in our courts. In this Bill, there is a requirement for the courts to use sign and Braille languages as well as technology. This is for people with disabilities and other individuals who feel comfortable speaking in certain languages. They can access justice, understand, monitor and follow the proceedings. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The Bill should allow other professions to be included in adjudicating certain things because sometimes it might be hard and challenging for certain regions to have lawyers and advocates of the High Court to apply for jobs in certain areas. Sometimes you have the court but you do not have the adjudicator or other personnel because you have made conditions very difficult for other professions not to provide their skills and be adjudicators. So, I will also bring an amendment to this Bill on that matter. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support this Bill. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was a bit confused when you allowed me to speak.

The title of the Bill is about youth employment. I am really worried that these changes may totally change the whole essence of the Bill. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think we should have discussed the title of the Bill and changed it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have a serious concern because initially, when the National Youth Employment Bill was subjected to public views, people gave their views on the basis of the Bill. Now, almost 8 per cent of this Bill has been changed. It has now become the National Youth Employment Authority Bill. I am really disturbed in terms of the public participation views because we are totally changing this Bill in this House in disregard to public opinion. We need your direction. When a Bill totally changes the original Bill--- view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the other thing I want to say is that this Bill has substantively changed. It was supposed to address high youth unemployment in this country. The senior citizens of this country are benefitting everyday and with this new Title, it will only serve the interest of the senior citizens of this country and not the youth. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this policy. The GJLO sector is core to any country. Our Committee Members were very passionate about how the Government or country can strengthen the GJLO sector. We felt that the GJLOS programme has been ongoing in this country for a while. I can testify that when I was a Commissioner of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the GJLOS was ongoing. But because of lack of serious commitment by the State, after the donors withdrew, the GJLOS funding came to an end and the Government was unable to implement the ... view
