• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Allow me, on behalf of the Committee, to appreciate the invaluable assistance of your office and that of the Clerk of the National Assembly in the scrutiny and consequently in the deliberations regarding the 2018/2019 Estimates. The Departmental Committee has the mandate to oversee the State Department of Industry, State Department of Co-operatives and State Department of Small and Medium Enterprises, which we call trade, support value addition and raise the manufacturing sector share of GDP to 15 per cent. That will accelerate economic growth, creation of jobs and ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On the gross proposed allocation to the State departments, the State Department of Industry got the lion’s share at Kshs10.3 billion, the State Department of Small and Medium Enterprise got Kshs2.7 billion and the State Department of Co-operatives got Kshs1.3 billion. Allow me to begin with the State Department of Co-operatives which the Committee did not realise any major issues in the Estimates.

• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: For the Department of Small and Medium Enterprise, that is straight. The Committee observed that the construction of Kubik building in Parklands has stalled for so many years. This is a building that I think everybody knows about. It is next to K1 Club in Westlands. That building has been there for over 12 years. It is 95 per cent complete. It just needs about Kshs102 million. Unfortunately that building has stalled for so many years. The Ministry is renting offices. They are spending almost Kshs200 million renting offices but, if that building is completed, we will for sure know ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. To improve the Kenya global ranking in doing business, the business index indicates that from our current position of 92, to the top 50 and further lower the cost of doing business for both domestic and foreign investors, we require re-engineering and remodeling of business environment indicators. For this reason, the Committee recommended for the increase in allocation towards the ease of doing business by Kshs400 million. There is no doubt that the Numerical Machining Complex - you remember the Nyayo car - there is a lot that is happening in that industry. Unfortunately, ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is the spirit of the handshake. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we recommended Kshs420 million to be given to Athi River Textile Hub. The Committee is cognisant of the importance of the Kenya Industrial Estates, the Kenya Leather Development Council and KIRDI in the promotion of industrial growth and overall national development. However, the Committee is concerned that the proposal may not also be absorbed, especially for KIE who are given Kshs1 billion. view
