• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on the Inquiry into the Forest Resource Management and Logging Activities in Kenya, laid on the Table of the House, today, Thursday, 3rd May 2018. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I fully support the establishment of civil registration centres in every constituency in our Republic. I want to commend Hon. Martha Wangari, Member for Gilgil, for this very timely and relevant Motion. Once it is passed, it will ensure the full implementation of the Kenya Citizens and Foreign Nationals Management Service Act, which was passed in this House in 2011. This vital document called birth certificate enables Kenyans to acquire many vital documents. You need it to get an identity card (ID), open a bank ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: North Horr Constituency is very vast. It is about 8 per cent of Kenya’s land mass and over 38,000 square kilometres. It is larger than some of the four former provinces of Kenya that is, Central, Western and Nyanza and eight Nairobis put together. It has a diameter of 800 kilometres from one corner to the other. Even if you have one centre in North Horr, it will not serve my constituents well because people of Ileret have to travel over 600 kilometres to Marsabit Town, which is our county headquarters, to secure that vital document. They travel on very ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a very sad person today. Any Member of Parliament under Standing Order 34 has the right to amend any Bill and any clause of a Bill in this House. Hon. Lomenen was exercising his constitutional right to amend a Bill in the interest of his people and many other Kenyans. When he moved this Bill, he was given the permission and he corrected it on the Floor of this House and the HANSARD will bear me out. He said that he was going to leave the clause on provisions to the Mover ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have a lot of respect for Hon. Wambugu. We wanted to debate this Motion and be convinced on the reasons for capping and reducing the percentages. If you look at the Mining Act, 2015, clearly, those provisions are provided for as 70, 20 and 10 per cent respectively. This Bill is inconsistent with the Act. If we are convinced what we are doing is not for the national good, we are wise people. Some of us are ranking Members of this House and we listen. The Leader of the Majority Party should not deny a ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. How relevant is the Leader of the Majority Party? Of course, he holds that esteemed office and he can speak whenever he wants on this Floor. What business does he have on how the Member dresses? view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have caught your eye. I want to commend Hon. Faith Wairimu Gitau for this very timeous and relevant Motion of national importance. Indeed, unemployment is a major national concern and a problem in our country. We have so many graduates and seasoned professionals in our constituencies who are unemployed. I know if there is political will, then this issue can be addressed. We are willing to invest in the setting up of institutions which will enable us to address the crisis we are talking about. This Motion is on the waiving of the many ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Some of these requirements are, indeed, unnecessary. I do not think people have thought through it. I really do not see how somebody who is seeking employment would be connected to the issue of credit worthiness. Once that person is employed, he will sort out his credit issues. Why would a prospective employer deny somebody employment just because he or she does not have those unnecessary documents that we are talking about? Having an employment database is not enough. It is important that we make use of it. There are many institutions in this country which deal with issues of ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: We should tap in all the markets in the Middle East, Europe and the USA. It is possible for us to export human resource. Many countries have done it. There is nothing that will hinder Kenyans from doing it. We are known for quality education and producing well-trained and skilled man power in Africa, to say the least. If, say, the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs and the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services, and our embassies all over the world are given the necessary resources and capacity to market Kenyan professionals in the job market, ... view
