• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The other question is about their health rights in that country. If they give birth to children, do they go to school? Those are some of the things we want to hear. How are the religious rights of our people in that country protected? We cannot paint the report to look good while we know and we have heard so much about that country. As for me, if today I am told I am going for a trip there, I would be scared. If only a trip can scare me, staying there for a job would be another issue. This ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: formulate some legislative laws that can mandate the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to put the right regulations and do some lobbying. What is lacking is the Governmental relationship between our Government and the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They should lobby and talk about these issues. They might have done it, but they need to do it further. The Member who has just spoken said that two weeks ago, a Kenyan was tortured there and I believe it was after the Report had been written. It is unacceptable when we see our people being tortured and still cheer ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill by Hon. Martha Wangari. It is important to notice that adoption is real. There are people in this country who are in fear of adopting children just because they will not get enough time to bond with the children, take care of them and learn them. So, it becomes hard for them to go to the homes where children are kept and need the favour to be adopted. It is a well thought out Bill. We need to give people who have the will to adopt children time ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Serem is consulting on something we are to do in the afternoon, which is in order. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you for this chance. It is with a lot of pleasure that I want to support this Motion by Hon. Munene. I am so glad that he realised a gap in our country. It is unfortunate that it has taken too long for us to identify the gap. Around 15 per cent of our students who get out at Form Four level yearly get to the universities and 20 per cent of them get to tertiary colleges such as teaching and medical colleges. The question is that the remaining 65 per cent of our student are nowhere to ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Government has given us TVETs and the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) to have our young people go to there to get skills that they can apply in their lives. It is with a good spirit that the current educational system, the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), has been introduced so that young people can get skills from the time they are young to the time they become adults. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: We have something coming soon about automotive engineering where this country will sooner or later not allow importation of trucks that are not new. If we do not have young people going to automotive engineering colleges to have those skills, again, it will be a problem to get the human resource to attend to that new engineering gap in this country. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: We also want to make parents aware that taking a student or youth to those colleges or technical institutes is not a failure. There is a perception in the community where people think that when you take a youth to a technical college, then he or she is a failure. We congratulate our former leaders, especially retired President Moi, for being firm and refusing to upgrade all technical colleges to universities. President Moi was firm that the Eldoret Polytechnic, the Technical University of Kenya (TUK) and Baringo Technical College will not be converted into universities. He said those technical institutes ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for a long time, this country has based everything on papers. We have forgotten about our skills, which is the core business of our community. It has been considered, for a very long time, that people should have their bachelors and master’s degrees. That is what has been favourable for long such that people were running away from skilful jobs to white collar jobs only. In my community, we have technical institutes that are equipped, but many are wasting away because our youth are not enrolling into those colleges. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: It is high time this House and the community at large made it compulsory for youth not to idle around. We should encourage them, by all means, even if it is by giving them bursaries, to join institutions of learning so that they are not wasted in life. view
