• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for according me the opportunity. I commend my good friend, Hon. Machogu, a long serving able District Commissioner during the Moi era, for bringing to this House a very efficient and constructive Report on their benchmarking visit. The essence of benchmarking trips is to enable Members to go and borrow from existing structures so that we can use them to improve our own services here. What worries me is that many Members, departments and personalities from this country, including our Head of State and several senior ministers, go out there to see what is happening ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The reports that are constantly brought by the various delegations that go out, like what Hon. Machogu has brought today, would be best useful to this country. They would benefit us a lot so that we say that the money expended on such trips has been used well, if those reports would be implemented effectively. For several years, we have seen even the Head of State going to the United States of America. Look at the way the streets are well planned out there. Even the trees there are well tended. When our leaders come back, they shout for a ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Report and it should be used to benefit the purpose for which it was intended. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I had actually intended to speak to the Motion that was proposing the appointment of the PS for Labour and Social Welfare. All the same, I think these are very able Government servants that have been proposed. I want to say that Madam Esther Koimett has had a checkered career in the National Treasury. She has had a long career. She is a bright Kenyan and I am happy that despite the record that Hon. Mbadi has tabled here, Esther, together with the newly appointed PS for Labour and Social Welfare, are serious career ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Initially, I had intended to oppose this proposal given that there is age limit and we have youth who are struggling to get jobs. We need to open up spaces for them. There is also the need for regional balancing. But in the spirit of handshake, I will support this and hope that the proposed officer, Mr. Kirogo, will use his expertise and experience to ensure that he comes up with a framework of opening up jobs and giving more consideration to the young graduates who are becoming hopeless ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: given his extensive experience and expertise, once he reports to the new office, he will create order such that we can go back to the old system where District Officers were absorbed directly from our universities upon graduation. Recruitment should be based on their qualifications and competence and that it will not involve influence peddling causing us to walk to the Office of the President to lobby him or certain officers get people who have worked so hard who now merit appointments to be appointed. I congratulate Mr. Kirogo and urge Parliament to give this old qualified man the job. ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am at a loss when it is alleged that women will liberate this country because they are incorruptible. In practice, just the other day, a top Principal Secretary in the Government - a woman for that matter - was taken to court for corruption. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for your kind consideration. I take the cue in supporting my good friend, Gideon Keter, for floating this good Motion. Like many sports, rugby is liked by young boys and girls, who are the majority of our population. However, the way it is managed has left a lot to be desired. Only a few youths from privileged families are able to pursue this sport beyond the normal practice or exercises that they are used to doing. I believe that like many other sporting activities, much emphasis should be put in the development and management ... view
