• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: First and foremost, although most people have supported this Motion, I urge Hon. Mwaura that after this, he must have this Motion as a Bill because everyone who has stood up has supported it with very good ideas. I know for sure that there have been attempts in the past to assist the youth and to tap the youth empowerment strategies, but they have not yielded anything. One which was done during the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government was the Economic Stimulus Programme for the youth. Had it been taken seriously, we would be a step forward. The other one ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: So, there have been attempts in the past, but all have been in vain. My advice to Hon. Mwaura is that this Motion is good and long overdue. He has framed it very well, but let us have it as a Bill so that the youth cannot struggle in vain. We have a lot of innovation like M-Pesa, which was done by a Kenyan. We now have E-banking which was also done by Kenyans. In fact, I am told that the Americans were in the country trying to copy that system and it has worked very well. I believe that ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Mwaura, I thank you repeatedly for coming up with this Motion. Look at those two youths who are walking around. One of them graduated four years ago and yet, he has no job. He decided to write a placard with his name and telephone number saying he was looking for a job. He was requesting for employment. One of the media houses picked it up and the two of them were hired. I saw one of them at the Uwezo Fund. She has been hired and is working. This shows that we have a problem in this country and ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: We set up Kenyatta University which was taking care of that programme, but it died a natural death. If the Motion can be converted into a Bill, then we can have centres where those who come up with good ideas, innovations and discoveries can assemble once or twice a year to come up with what they have and then have a board to award and encourage children for whatever they have come up with. That will energise our youth to move forward because all we are trying to do is move to the next stage of our development as you ... view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to support this Motion for Adjournment. I wish you were here when the Leader of the Majority Party was moving the Motion for Adjournment. I was not happy with the way he made his remarks. This is a House that is supposed to represent all Kenyans in this country. For the Leader of the Majority Party, and I wish he was here as I speak, to belittle the position of the Opposition in this country is very bad. Wherever he is, he should listen. We are sometimes carried away with power. For him to ... view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: You do not know what I am talking about. So, you better shut up! view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: 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
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I withdraw the remarks because I have offended my fellow citizen. view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I apologise to my sister Hon. Kajuju if she got hurt by the statement. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is not fair. We do not want violence. We want to have very peaceful elections. The two weeks we are going to be out there, I do not want to hear that some people have been stoned or something else. I come from an area where we have all the tribes of this country and we live in harmony. All I want to do is to talk to them so that those who want to stand can do so and sell their ... view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I finish, I wish we would go on recess with the Kshs34 million that is supposed to be given to the constituencies so that we can do some work that we were supposed to. It has taken a bit of time, but I hope that in the next two to three days, we will have this money released to Members of Parliament so that we can develop our respective areas. view
