• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, education is no longer a luxury because for most employment opportunities right now, the minimum qualification is a degree. It is no longer a Form Four certificate as it used to be. Even to be a teller in the bank, that is issuing money and counting money, you must have a degree. I do not agree with it because I do not understand why someone who is issuing money should have a degree. Establishment of a university in a particular location does, not only confer education opportunities to the citizens in that area, but from the experience ... view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we should also have collaboration between our universities and other world class universities elsewhere. The CUE is not doing much in this area. We want degrees from our universities to be recognized not only here, but elsewhere, so that our youth can be trained elsewhere.

• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I support this Motion brought by Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki. I believe that this is arising from the need of his county – which is starting almost from scratch – to have facilities at the County Headquarters. This is an issue that should have been done right from the time devolution came into place. The TA should have looked into this matter and brought it forward. Under the provisions of the Constitution, this matter, I believe, could have been looked at because it is provided that the national Government had a duty to ensure ... view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I understand that it has been the policy of the Government that Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) are the key to developing this country and they should be encouraged. I want a clarification as to why the Government has decided that it is only foreign institutions that are supposed to be involved in the banking sector and not SMEs. view
• 15 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Sir. In view of the issues that have been conversed here, would I be in order to request the hon. Senator from Bungoma to bring a Motion here so that we decide and pass it to quash that decision? view

• 14 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand guided by the Senator on the issue of the year of construction. This is because the answer we have here is that the consultants did the design works in 2013 and 2014. The construction was planned to start in the following Finanicial Year 2014/2015. As to when it is going to start, I want to assure the Senator that in this answer, the corporation deems this project as an item of priority. In fact, after the other tea factory in Nandi is finalized, this will be the next one. Construction is intended to ... view
