• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. While I do not agree with this Motion, let me thank hon. Humphrey Njuguna, nonetheless, for bringing it and for really putting his point across. Hon. Deputy Speaker, really, I think we have to ask ourselves: Who are those men between the ages of 35 to 50 that are being suggested for a fund? Who are those men between the ages of 35 and 50 for which we are creating a fund? view

• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have hardly said anything. Men between 35 and 50 years of age generally--- view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: No, I do not really need information at this point because I have hardly said anything to warrant information. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, generally speaking, men between the ages of 35 and 50 are the owners of several factors of production. Men between those years are the ones that own land. In cultures that have cattle, those are the people who own the cattle, sheep, goats and farms--- view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the point that hon. Kombe has raised makes the situation even worse. How does a country establish a fund to cover 40 million people? The funds that have been cited are the Kazi Kwa Vijana (KKV) programme, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF), the Women Enterprise Development Fund (WEF) and the Uwezo Fund. Those are funds that target affirmative action groups and those affirmative action groups for a reason. They have certain vulnerabilities that expose them and that must be dealt with in order for them to transition. The ages that we are talking about are ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: to address, but this is not the right way to address it. Rather, the Member should probably have been looking at: How do we generally lower interest rates, for example? How do we do value addition for our farm products?

How do we get better prices for coffee, maize, tea, cassava, sweet potatoes and pineapples so that those people who are engaging actively can be able to operate within this environment? How do we address the issue of unemployment generally so that we are able to take care of people ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: for macho men who are feeling strong and who feel that they do not need protection and who feel that they can operate on their own. The Maendeleo yaWanaume has, therefore, become a one man movement which is even causing embarrassment to the rest of the men. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to finish by addressing the issue of some of the funds that have been established and whether they have even succeeded; for us then to come and say: “It is truly a best practice. Let us have it emulated.” We must record the success. We must evaluate and record the success of the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the Women Enterprise Development Fund. Really, can we account for those monies and say that they have truly changed the lives of the groups that they have targeted? Hon. ... view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know that there are some hon. Members who were saying: “I can now tell my constituents that the law has barred me from conducting Harambee .” As it has been said, the Harambee spirit is the spirit that we live on. Some of us have gone through school on the basis of people contributing to our cause. What the EACC should deal with is where the process of Harambee is misused and corruption perpetrated through it.
