• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as it stands today, the law is being amended and I am very happy that our youths will benefit from what His Excellency the President had told us in this Parliament. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: It is true that the future of any nation depends on its youth. Therefore, the world over it has become necessary for many developing economies to insist that for a step to be taken forward, the youth must be empowered. Secondly, together with the youth, for changes to take place in any economy, women interests must also be taken into account. I only hope that at some stage we will find time and technical ability to come up with a Bill which will also recognize women. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill removes what I refer to as welfare mentality from our youth. This is because what happens now is that most of our youth sit in market places even with their degrees and expect those who are able particularly politicians to give them handouts. I think that mentality for those youth who want to work will disappear with this Bill. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As the Mover had said before, further amendments will be required to this Bill to make the procurement laws more youth friendly because the Procurement Act that operates in Kenya was actually conceived from the international donors such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the local situations were not taken into account.

• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I also want to say that we may amend the Bill but if we do not put in monitoring mechanism both at the national level and at the county level, we will achieve very little. It is important that we come up with measures that will make sure that, at least, as has been said 30 per cent of the business is given to the youth. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: What are we also trying to do with this Bill? We find many youths falling into crime--- view

• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I contribute as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and I remember hon. Mwadime brought this amendment to us. There are certain things that have been said here that I do The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: not remember being brought to us as the committee. What we agreed is that his amendment be published and we specifically noted that this money should go to specific uses of the community. We said that it should not be disbursed to the community but be used to build schools for the community, supply water and electricity. We were very specific about that, so I do not see where it was said that the money should be disbursed to the community for their own use. It was to be utilized to help them develop infrastructure and economic facilities within the ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I must say that this must have been a soul searching Motion for hon. Kamau. I know he has been a former Minister, but those who have been there have never used their experience to save our country from such expenses. Therefore, I take this opportunity to thank him very much because he is using his experience to save our country from unnecessary expenses. view
