• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Session of the Pan-African Parliament. It is good when African countries move towards that direction of having a continental Parliament, an African Court of Justice and other continental bodies. This is so that this continent can realise development and economic growth for its own population. view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Africa has been referred for too long as the “dark continent”. Africa faces challenges like brain drain. We train doctors and engineers and then they go for greener pastures in Europe, United States of America and other countries. We also have conflicts. Some are religious, racial and tribal. We also face terrorism. It is very common in Africa. We are suffering from Boko Haram and Al Shabaab . Lately, we have the latest xenophobia in South Africa where foreigners are being forced to go back to their countries. They are actually being killed. These are challenges that can be overcome ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The African continent is strategically placed in the middle of the globe. We are between South and North America and Asia. We are between Europe and Australia. When people talk about investment, they say that you have to consider location. When you are setting up a business, you are told that you need to consider location. There are other things. Africa has what it takes to be a very developed continent because of our strategic position in the globe. We are in the middle. We have also vast resources. We have gold, diamonds and oil which is being discovered everywhere. ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Surprisingly, out of ten fastest growing economies, six are in sub-Saharan Africa. After Kenya rebased its economy, it became the sixth largest economy in the whole of Africa. Now, we are lucky because we have gold in Kakamega, iron ore in Taita Taveta, coal in Kitui, oil in Turkana and natural gas elsewhere. Each African country is blessed. Not only can we develop economies based on mineral resources, but also on good governance. For example, Rwanda experienced genocide less than 20 years ago, but today it is one of the fastest growing economies. It is pulling most of the foreign ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: maintaining law and order in West Africa. We have also seen that some trade blocs have brought a lot of benefits to countries in the specific regions. We have seen the Southern African Development Community (SADC) promote trade in the Southern Africa region up to Tanzania. We have also seen our own trade bloc in the East African Community. When people are united, they form a bigger market for their goods, share intelligence, research and exchange goods through trade. Surprisingly, because of the East African Community, Kenya trades more with Uganda and Tanzania than with Europe and any other country ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: programmes. However, the real reason is they are targeting African resources because this is one of the richest continents in terms of mineral resources. When an African country is approached by a rich country from the West or East, it is very difficult to negotiate alone. However, when we have a trading bloc, PAP and we also form something that can compete with the World Trade Organisation (WTO), European Union (EU) or Asian countries, we will be stronger. However, when a small, poor and struggling country is promised goodies in exchange for the good minerals that they have, it does ... view
