• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: what is happening. We have heard cases even in Mecca where a crane collapsed, because of lack of what we are talking about. So, this Bill is quite timely. I want to urge this House to back this, so that we get recourse in case of a problem. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I have had a case of a student who has done an engineering course somewhere. You and I read papers about four or five months ago about failure by some people to recognise those courses yet they are engineering courses. That is why Hon. Cecilia has come up with this; we know that the board will participate, or take part, in formulation of the courses at the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenyatta University or the University of Nairobi. They will come up and see that the courses that are being taught to our children are those that ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: We have had cases of a course called environmental engineering. Students who have taken this course cannot be employed anywhere in this country. We know this. I know of two students who did that course. They are looking for jobs. When they get to a place they are told: “Your degree is not recognised because it did not go through whatever it is supposed to be.” Somebody says: “We know this is an engineer. I know you can do a doctorate course and whatever, but we have a difference between an engineer and a technologist”. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: We have had cases of bridges in my place where a quack says he is an engineer. He is given a tender and it goes through. He goes there and erects a footpath and not a bridge. Two weeks after that footpath started cracking. What did I do? I went to the regional engineer in Trans Nzoia. He asked: “Why did you give this work to this man when he is not qualified?” This Bill will bring some sense and professionalism in the whole exercise; it says that they will face some disciplinary measures. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: As I finish, we should pass this Bill because it brings some discipline in that profession. I want to thank Hon. Cecilia for coming up with this. Let us support this Bill because it is going to bring professionalism to our dealings. I support. Thank you. view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support this amendment because marketing is a very crucial factor in the fisheries sector. Lack of marketing has killed the morale of the small fishermen at the grassroots level. So, this is an important amendment. view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, just to answer my colleague, we thought this amendment was important because, as you know the history of this country, sometimes if you leave it just like that, you will have appointees being appointed through corruption. So, we thought it wise to have these appointees competitively appointed. This means they have to be vetted before they get into those positions. That is the import of the whole thing. Therefore, I support the amendment as proposed by my Committee Chair. view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I think this is punitive and I support because we would otherwise have somebody maliciously dumping fish which is not compatible with the environment. Therefore I support the move. view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am a Member of the Committee. Whatever amendments we have here have been proposed by the Committee. Hon. Millie Odhiambo is just one of the proposers of this amendment, and we are carrying it as the 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
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. Even in her absence, we are in conformity with her proposal. It does not matter whether she is there or not. view
