• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On our training, as my colleagues have said, parents push their children to get degrees and diplomas and it is like certificate courses are outdated. If you look at foreign students in countries like in India, USA and UK, you will find that Kenya is always number one or two in training its children in those countries. Most of these children go there to train for degrees and not middle level courses that are very key for industrial growth in any country. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: It is good for a Bill to be brought to this House stating that a certain percentage like 10 per cent of the budget should be directed to youth training and youth enterprise funding. The SMEs should be funded. This is because all the innovations and discoveries in countries where science has taken root were never made by small children or old men and women. It is the youth during their prime age who came up with those discoveries. That is why we can enjoy the services of a mobile phone, a radio, a television, automobile and other things today. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: However, in Kenya, we talk and we know what is needed. But mid-wiving that idea into action so that our youth have resources to develop, has been lacking because there is disconnect. It is very easy if we take all counties; we have 47 counties which are distinct governments. If all the governors and the all the local leaders set aside for their budget, a certain percentage and lend money to the youth in a kind of revolving fund. They should also set aside some of the jobs, like the rural roads construction, even bush clearing on the roads and ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if we look at the map of Kenya, where each one of you hon. Members come from, in most times you see most of the youth are reserved because they are not part of the economy. In most of the time, they are either chewing Miraa or view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: or they are drinking alcohol. From morning, you see them sitting in the shopping centres because they are idle and have nothing to do. It is good if these youth could be made productive. One thing that can make them productive is to train them in these middle level colleges, polytechnics, technical colleges and make sure that after training them, you advance credit to them. Once you do that, they will start small micro- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise to support this very important Motion. Though I am very saddened by what happened to Ms. Kethi Kilonzo, but I just want to say--- view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, protect me from hon. Members who did it to Ms. Kethi Kilonzo. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to say that hon. Opiyo Wandayi has come up with a very good Motion. We have to stop losing more money that does not belong to us by paying someone who brought this country to its knees. I do support hon. Members who have contributed ahead of me and said that we should deal decisively with this matter. I am sure that, if we do not make any further payments, and if the Government is very committed to fighting corruption ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the pyramid schemes, poor Kenyans lost close to Kshs40 billion. As I speak here, some members who lost money through pyramid schemes or through such corrupt schemes like Goldenberg, have committed suicide. Other families have broken because, perhaps, a wife went and borrowed money thinking that it would profit her. So, most families collapsed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, that money was taken from the poor people through corruption by big shots. That is because the organizations that took money were licensed by the Government. The famous Nyenze Report, which was laid before this Parliament, has been put ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, when hon. Midiwo said that some Members were asleep, he meant it and people laughed. I want my colleagues in the Jubilee to understand us. The children who will benefit will not be from the Jubilee, but Kenyan children. We have gone round the country and to teachers and all the stakeholders. They are saying that, that is a noble project. view
