• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The youth who undertake a course like mechanical engineering are people from other counties in the country. I am not against that but this is excluding the locals. Any time you go to your county or constituency, you will find very many youths who have left Form Two or Form Four and have been jobless for the last five, six, seven or ten years. These people would have been self employed if there was industrial training that is funded by industries or the Government. These people would not have flooded our offices since they would have been self employed. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to encourage the Mover of this Motion that he should include monitoring of this Fund so that it is used for the intended purpose and it reaches the youth who are 55 per cent or 57 per cent of the unemployed population. These people should benefit from this Fund so that they do not wait for jobs that are not forthcoming and are not visible. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Sometimes the youth are excluded from opportunities that come up because of lack of experience. If training to support the youth immediately they complete their Form Four or those that have not gone to school like the ones in my area is implemented, they will acquire more experience and unemployment would be reduced drastically. This is because many people will be self employed and the economy will grow. This will ensure that more people are wealthier and healthier. The population will also be active. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to turn around the Industrial Training Levy or Fund to address the intended purpose. We should modernize it so that the 1960 objective changes. We need to enhance it to the current demand in the market so that the bulk of the illiterate youth who cannot get formal jobs can benefit. These people can venture into self employment. This will turn around the economy of the rural areas so that we can also minimize rural-urban migration. We should strengthen the capacity of the counties now that we have devolved services. We should devolve industrial ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I acknowledge the Statement of the Leader of Majority Party. First, I want to say that, with the blessings of Allah s ubhanawataalah, I survived the attack in Burmaiyo, Wajir County. All of us nearly died. There is no single Kenyan security person at Burmaiyo border point. I was with the entire current and former elected leadership of Wajir County. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. It is now my time to speak. I want to confirm to hon. Kamama that the militia have more sophisticated weapons. We have witnessed it. If the Government had more sophisticated weapons than those of the militia, the killings of its citizens by the militia, which have gone on for two years now, would not have continued. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for that direction. Definitely, I do not want to be an expert on weaponry. I only wanted to share with hon. Members the serious scenario we had and show that one can easily die in the hands of militia, especially in the northern Kenya region. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when we went to Wajir County, Tarbetu Constituency and Wajir East Constituency, we found that almost all the schools had been closed down. There were no children in school. Teachers were present and ready to teach. They had not taken part in the ongoing teachers’ strike but they could not teach because of the aggression from Mandera. The students fled with their parents to neighbouring areas. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to know what the Government is doing to ensure that the students go back to school. I also want the Leader of Majority Party to tell us what the Government is doing to provide security in that area. When we toured the area, there was no presence of Government. view
