• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As a conservation expert, he should also advise on the matter of these crocodiles that are eating people in Lake Victoria. You said we can fence the forest. What can we do about the crocodiles that are eating people in the lake? This must also be answered. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to inform the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism and Hon. (Prof.) Oduol who is also a member of that Committee that what we are dealing with here in form of a Motion is already in the Sports Act. So, what the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism should do is to budget, just like you said. Put money in sports academies. We are urging the Government. This urging is not useful. The issues being raised are in the Act. We just need to put money for sports academies ... view

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Muchira very much for introducing this very important Motion. What bothers all of us is, when NYS transformed into this five point plan and increased the number of youth from about 6000 in a year to about 21000, everybody was worried about where the youth who come from NYS are going to with the paramilitary training and all the other skills that they have. In fact, you can really look for youth to go to NYS because many people now shun NYS. They do not want to go ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Parliament. These are the youth from NYS. One was picked from every county. They did interviews. They came here and now they are doing work. We hope they can transition. So this has already begun and it can be taken further. But there has to be a merit system. It cannot just be that any youth who goes through NYS finally transitions into the disciplined forces. There has to be a system of merit where we know that these are the most meritorious youth and, therefore, number 1 to 30 will transit into the disciplined forces. It cannot just be ... view

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to support your view and the view of several other Members on coming up with the select committee. My reason is this: You have heard from the contributions of Members the nature of the issue we are dealing with. It is cross-cutting. We have trade issues and agriculture. We must also understand the impact of this on sugar-cane growing. Health might feel the same. There is the issue of tax evasion, KRA and KPA. Finance might also want to get involved. Because of the cross-cutting nature of this matter, I feel that the ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to join the rest of the Members of this House in passing our messages of condolence to the family and friends of Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello, and the people of Migori County who have lost a very passionate senator, who, unfortunately, did not get to show his passion in his work. I met Ben during his days at Ramogi FM at Royal Media Services. He ran a very popular breakfast show. Actually, for us who were joining politics in those days, Ben’s show was a place to go and debate and showcase ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill. I can see that time is much gone and we have a Motion of Adjournment at 5.30 p.m., so I will not take much time. Let me speak to the issue of the formula for sharing of revenue. I am glad that now we have a second generation formula that considers population at 45 per cent, land mass at 8 per cent, poverty has been reduced from 20 per cent to 18 per cent, there is an equal share for all counties at 26 ... view
