• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, I will. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I strongly oppose this Bill. This is about institutionalising national political parties in our country. We need national political parties as institutions with character, values, ideologies and policies. We need cohesive parties that will bring Kenyans together. This Bill is trying to change the number of votes garnered by a political party in any general election from 5 per cent to 2 per cent for the party to qualify for funding. In the last general elections, roughly 10 million voters voted ... view

• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: This amendment will take us back. That is why my party leader left small parties and formed a strong party called ODM, which is a leader in this country in terms of bringing Kenyans together. That is why I am a member of ODM from North Horr, as much as somebody from Western Kenya, Wajir, and the entire Coast region and even from Meru in the central part of Kenya. Those are the parties we need; national parties that will bring Kenyans together, but not parties that are formed just for the purpose of accessing State funding. Reducing the threshold ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the intent of these amendments is to enable all those small political parties to have access to political parties funds. It is all about money. We cannot have “briefcase” and ethnic-based Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), pretending to be national parties, having access to hard-earned taxpayers’ money. I oppose in the strongest terms possible. view

• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion very strongly. I want to appreciate Hon. Muhia for bringing this timely Motion to this House. I want to commend my colleagues from central Kenya for the leadership role they have taken to destroy illicit brew in that region. They have done good work and they have all our support even if they bring a Motion and Bills to advance this course. This is because we are losing generations. We are losing very many productive Kenyans who could be engaged in productive activities because of these brews. This is a well thought ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this very important Bill. From the outset, let me say that I support the National Youth Employment Authority Bill, 2015. I salute Hon. Sakaja for this great work, which will give the youth of Kenya a bright future. Hon. Sakaja is here to represent the interests of the youth in our Parliament. This Bill will contribute a lot and ensure that our youth get gainful employment in our nation. This Bill addresses the grave problem of unemployment, which is of concern to this country. Unemployment in Kenya stands ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: in this country are our youths. Many of our youths are well educated and trained, but they are not able to secure gainful employment. For the first time, we will have a structured way through which our youth will access employment in our country. Unemployment in this country is a major security concern. It has made our youth seek greener pastures among extremists like AlShabaab and many other groups, which are causing chaos and insecurity in the world. It is lack of hope, employment and a future that has forced our youth to join these extremist groups; they do not ... view
