• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: more than 30 per cent of the citizenry; cognizant of the fact that most of our neighbouring countries are also agriculture-driven economies and that free trade has become more pronounced especially in the East African Region; concerned that the cost of production in our neighbouring countries is reported to be less as compared to the Kenyan cost of production; further concerned that this scenario will lead to a loss of revenue due to importation of these cheaper products; alarmed that the long term impact is detrimental to the economic development of the state, and further noting that there is no ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. The prima facie or major objective has to do with standard controls both in training and performance. I am taking into consideration the fact that Kenya is a developing country and does not have sufficient engineers. There are other global best practises that are compliant with this Bill. Taking the real world situation, what I find is that those technologists are the real workers. Being the real workers, then regulation will be very important. I have also taken into consideration that they are the same people who give ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I look at the medicine world where Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal can advise me better. I have seen so many other laws all related to medicine concerning nurses, clinical officers, pharmacists and all the others. They work for the same industry. So, I believe that if these laws are worked on well, even in engineering, we can offer services of high quality to our people. I also look at the shifting of responsibility and liability and the disciplinary measures that are provided by this law. Any time anybody knows that he is under regulation or under check, he becomes more accountable ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have my five minutes. When we passed this Constitution in 2010 and promulgated it, we agreed that there was a 15 to 20 per cent error. However, we agreed to pass the Constitution and correct it later on. I agree that this Bill is one way in which we can correct that kind of error that we said was actually in the Constitution. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: So, I call this Bill, which I support, a reconciliation Bill. It is like that one of Hon. Kaluma and others. If anyone uses the current Constitution, you can easily have Members of County Assembly (MCAs) having their elections and other people having their elections. By so doing, we will be losing the economies of scale of one large election where we could have six elections and spend about Kshs15 billion and Kshs17 billion. If we have two, we shall spend about Kshs30 billion. Therefore, this country, which is rotating around the vicious cycle of poverty, will save more than ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The second Tuesday of August is the time when we are actually preparing for examinations for those who are doing the secondary and primary examinations. Those who are in university are also in the exam mode. We will actually interfere with our education and learning system. That would end up having a long-term effect. That is why I support the December election. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: In December, we spend a lot on holidays by travelling to Kisumu, Nyeri, Gatundu and other places. If we were to do an “erection”, we would also save. I will go for Christmas as well vote. I am very sure that that way, I will save as an individual and as a country. We will be better off with a new Government or a new House. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if MCAs go for their full term, then they will have to go to March, 2018. If we go by this, others will go to August, 2018. Therefore, December is halfway and everybody will be fairly treated. In any case, the same Constitution requires that we all get equity and fair treatment. That is why I support a December “erection”. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I look at the expected qualitative administration of a new government. The county governments--- view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know where I come from. Between December and August, we want the “erections” to be held in December. view
