8 Mar 2022 in Senate:
For some time, there was calmness. I am saying it is not all of them but criminal elements in the boda boda sector have been misused. Even in Nairobi, it is not all of them that behave that way. The criminal elements have spoiled the good name of a useful transport sector to a level now where they are involved in crime and have become a law unto themselves. There is need to quickly take action.

I know that today, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Internal Security and Coordination of National Government and the CS of Transport and Infrastructure Development have addressed that issue. However, it needs to be enforced clearly. Let us have clear guidelines for operation of this sector and strict implementation of traffic rules by the boda boda sector.

8 Mar 2022 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, being election time, most of these boda boda operators are used. There might be tendency by the leadership of this country or politicians to go slow on it. However, the direction they are taking requires firm action. We have to be clear and target the rogue parts of the boda boda sector by clamping down on them seriously so that in future, that sector is streamlined. We know what the Late Hon. Michuki did in the matatu sector. They were so rogue but when he clamped them down, there was resistance but they still complied. We need ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support the Statement by Sen. Khaniri. We know very well that majority of Kenyans are youth below the age of 35 years and the unemployment rate is very high. There are no available jobs to absorb all these youth; most of them are graduates.

Kenya being a developing country, the most probable way of absorbing this labour is through livestock production and even agricultural production. In my case, coming from a livestock production county that is even a worse way of engagement of youth as it is now because there has been no policy of improving livestock production, especially in the pastoral areas.

What has been there has actually been only for the commercial big ranch owners, but the pastoralists have been left on their own. Unfortunately, that is why drought has always been coming and clearing whatever they have and then the rains come and the process starts.

16 Feb 2022 in Senate:
There should be an investment and improvement to make livestock rearing or animal production attractive to the youth, those who have gone to school, so that they see it as a means of employment. Then that way they can get involved in it. They do not need to be the ones following the animals around. However, if they know that there is development in that chain in the sense that they produce the animals then there is an established body, association or maybe livestock marketing groups within the counties, so that there is ready market. From there, there should be ...

creates business in terms of that animal which is being produced. When they produce the right breeds and sell back to the pastoralists, then that will attract the youth. Even if they have gone to school, they will engage with livestock production at a level where they will understand because they can see the end. They will know that, at the end of the chain, they will have somewhere to sell and buy the right breeds. Just like the farmers do, they sell and buy the seeds and it will be continuous that way. That will absorb our youth and ...
