• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: crisps made from potatoes and whatever other product that comes from our various areas is put into good use. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Three weeks ago, I did an analysis of the balance of trade between China and Kenya and realised how disadvantaged we are despite us claiming to have good foreign relations with China. Our balance of trade has gone down over the years. We have a chance to redeem this if we implement the Crops Act of 2013 by adding value to our products so that when they give us money in loans for infrastructure, we can as well export food to the big Chinese market. It is a multi-billion market for our food products. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill also talks about our urban areas and centres. We revised it and said that areas that have a population of at least 80,000 people will be an urban town and will have infrastructure development for sewer, water and other services. I am looking forward to its implementation so that I can see my home town of Molo being made an urban centre. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On the issue of data collection in census and statistics, I am happy that we are proposing to make it criminal for anybody to provide false information when census will be done next year. Sharing of revenue is based on the population from the census. So, we are looking forward to collecting accurate data. I hope this time round, the collection of data during the census will be biometric so that we know who resides where and the kind of resources that should be allocated to those areas. I have looked at Clause 20 that makes it now law that ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute on this Motion. We cannot over-emphasise the time value of money. Every time you get late to submit any claim from the Government, be it when you are submitting NHIF, NSSF or KRA returns, you always pay a fine and an interest. But the payments to our grandparents, the old man and woman in Mariashoni, Elburgon, Garissa or anywhere else in this country delay, and yet they have to buy drugs and food. Giving funds to the elderly should not be a punishment. The old women and men ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate my colleague, Hon. Jaguar for such a great Motion. When looking at the informal sector, those are the apprenticeships… view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, Njagua or Hon. Kanyi, the Member of Parliament for Starehe Constituency. You know we know him by his musician name “Jaguar”. There is someone called Professor Howard Gardner who in 1983 described the seven types of intelligence. This discussion really takes heart of those because the seven types of intelligence include linguistics that is one’s expertise in language and one’s logic. Then, there is also musical intelligence where Hon. Kanyi seems to have excelled very well. When you go through the list in addition to musical, you get kinesthetic and spatial intelligence. This is the ability to use one’s ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: piece of paper to show you are a qualified lawyer because in addition to my Bachelor’s Degree, I have gone to KSL. If you are a teacher then you probably have a Bachelor’s Degree in Law. Having gone through the teaching practice, you can prove that you are a teacher. How can I prove that I am a painter? How can I prove that I am a carpenter? The education system, in as much as we are calling it free, is not free in its entirety. There is a cost that people pay. We have people who if they had ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
