• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion on the adoption of Sessional Paper No. 2. The policies and programmes that have been designed to protect the vulnerable and the poor people from the risks and the difficulties they face in life are very good, but are not coordinated. However, it is a very good way of incorporating all the people who are under risk. The cash transfer programme has been a success, but I appeal to the Government to increase it from Kshs2000 to Kshs5000. That amount is very ... view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The other thing I would want to say about the cash transfer is that it should be decentralised from the district headquarters. Those are old poor people who do not have a lot of resources. They travel long distances and waste a lot of time and money. Wherever they go to receive cash, they do not have facilities like toilets. They go to Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). In Kitui, they suffer a lot because they have to take boda boda persons, pay their fare and yet, they are going to receive Kshs2,000. They spend the whole day there. So, I ... view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: In line with the Constitution, every person has a right to social security. The State needs to provide appropriate social security to the vulnerable groups. We cannot say Kenya is a poor country. Even when President Obama was here, he said that Kenya was on the right economic trajectory. We are a country that is endowed with a lot of resources and all we need to do is to exploit them. The greatest resource that we have is the human capital. Kenya is home to Mpesa and so many other innovations. It has a lot of creative people. So, it ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I support it. I want to say that productivity is defined as a relationship between inputs and outputs of the production of goods and services. This country has been compared to the tigers; the countries of South East Asia such as Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and so forth. A lot has been said about them; that we were on the same footing with them when we attained our Independence. But, somehow, we have been overtaken and our growth has stagnated. Various reasons have ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: For us to achieve that level of productivity, we have to create awareness amongst Kenyans. They have to be conscious about labour management and how we can make our products competitive in the world. If we manage our labour properly after we adopt this Sessional Paper No.4, Kenyans will attain higher living standards. We will increase our per capita income like those tigers of South East Asia which were at par with Kenya at Independence. Our exports will be competitive in the world market. Today, we are talking about the labour market that is not properly regulated. It is not ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion on the adoption of Sessional Paper No.9 of 2013 on National Cohesion and Integration. I just want to start by saying that national solidarity and togetherness is very important for this country. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Sessional Paper No.9 is very important and good. I have listened to Hon. Sakaja and the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party contributing. The way this Paper is written is very good but its implementation is the biggest challenge. The reason why we have challenges in national cohesion is inequality in the distribution of natural resources, employment in the Government and in every aspect of development. So, there are some Kenyans in some regions who say: “ Tunajivunia kuwa Wakenya ” while others say: “ Tunavumilia kuwa Wakenya.” We have to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: change that by showing the face of Kenya in employment in this country. Unity and harmony are very important in fighting external aggression. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: When the Westgate incident happened and President Uhuru Kenyatta, Hon. Raila, Hon. Kalonzo, Hon. Ruto and Hon. Wetangula were seen together visiting the injured, the value of the shilling improved because Kenyans want to see this cohesion and unity of purpose. When our leaders are united, we benefit more, as a country. We are doomed to fail when we are divided because we have not promoted equity and sharing of the national or State resources and appointments. We know that there are historical injustices in very many places whether in land or resource distribution. Marginalisation of some areas has to ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to the debate on Obama’s visit to open the 6th Global Entrepreneurship Summit. view
