• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Lastly, I take this opportunity to congratulate the DCJ who is a lady for having taken her position in this country. I know her because I went to school with her. She is a very efficient lady and I hope she takes this country to the next stage. view
• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, those are my few remarks. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Ochieng for bringing this Bill, which is essential for economic prosperity of a country. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The principal objective of setting up the Institute of Directors of Kenya is to enhance corporate governance. I am speaking from the knowledge I got because I was a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of more than three companies and two parastatals in this country. This Bill is very useful in the sense that appointment of directors has always been done for various reasons. One might be appointed a director because he is a neighbour of the appointing authority, or because of political expedience. We should establish the proposed institute so that directors can go through formal induction on various businesses. ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I have been to countries in the Far East, including Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. Their structures for setting up companies are quite impressive. The people who are appointed directors know their roles. In our case, directors are just appointed haphazardly. Members of boards of management in schools are normally picked because they are from the neighbourhood or were classmates of the head-teachers. We end up with mismanagement and misappropriation of funds. A company has a strategic plan that runs for, at least, three to five years. The plan has set achievable targets. If a director does not understand the ... view

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I am proceeding very well, but I am being interrupted by my good brother, Hon. Richard, here. I was a CEO and the kind of directors we had, apart from the ordinary directors from the Ministry of Regional Development, were not helping the situation in that particular organisation. Why? It is because some of them had been picked just because of political connections. We had a parastatal that was supposed to be doing very well. Until I stepped in, it was going to the dogs. When I came in, we streamlined it. Today, you can even ask the former Prime ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because it will bring a lot of changes. When directors are appointed, before they step into the organisation, they will first be trained on the general knowledge on how to run the parastatals. I support this Bill and I thank my brother, Hon. David Ochieng, for bringing it for the future of this country. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment. My argument is that if you look at the recruitment to the armed forces, you will find that we have high caliber personnel. Some of them are graduates and engineers depending on the interest of individuals joining the armed forces. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: We have our youth, as noted by Eng. Kiragu, who are idle. Maybe they will be idle if we do not allow them to explore. As a country, we are not here to just consume what is produced by China, Israel and the rest. We should have our people taking part in this to understand what is used to make the hardware we procure for our country. Therefore, I support the amendment. I wanted to contribute to the first one but I was not given the opportunity. I want to support Eng. Kiragu. view
