• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to support this Bill. Before I do so, I would wish to state clearly and categorically that before we even look at the Bills, Acts or laws of this country, we need to create a culture where people who are employed; people who are holding public offices, have courtesy. We need people who respect clients who visit their offices for services. It does not mean we have to have rules so that we can be good or do things right. We need to create a culture where people respect the positions they ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: It is very necessary for this clause to allow public participation. Clause 5 talks majorly about the standards of professional ethics. These are the core values which each and every individual employed by the Government, both at the county and the national Government must adhere to. Honesty and integrity are so important as we look at Chapter Six of the Constitution. Every officer and every person who is working in any public or State office must comply with Chapter Six of the Constitution; to uphold integrity, honesty and transparency. In most of these offices, you will find people are not ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: know which area is insecure or secure. Some officers cannot even reveal what is happening. I think this law will force these people to reveal the information they have. When some of the public officers appear before committees, either of this House or committees of the county assembly sometimes, they conceal information. They do not reveal all the information. That is why sometimes we force them to take oath before they give information. If everybody knows that there is a law that will put them on the wrong side of the law if they do not reveal information or if ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 9 talks about accountability which we have always been talking about. It is high time we put serious penalties on people who refuse to be accountable, those who do not give accounting information or those who do not answer to the right institutions when they are asked to. I also believe in Clause 10 which talks about employment, that employment in most of the areas is based on nepotism. They employ either their brothers, sisters, cousins, tribesmen or their political cronies. This law will talk to those people and tell them that it is time ... view

• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to support this Motion. The Constitution at Article 27(3) and (4) is very clear on discrimination on the basis of age or religion. If you look at the funds which have been availed to the youth, women and the elderly you will realize that there is a large section of people who have been discriminated, because they are not aged 35 years and below, and also because they are not over 70 years of age. This is in contravention of the Constitution. If this Fund was to be created, it would cater for persons aged ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: That way, we will not be rushing to create funds for certain reasons. In developed countries, funds are created only for the unemployed, the vulnerable and those who are believed not to be better placed to compete with the rest. All the same, owing to the situation as it is in Kenya now, we need to create this Fund. Wherever we go when dealing with Uwezo Fund, WEDF and YEDF people usually ask a lot of questions, like “What about us who are above 35 years of age? Where are we? Are we not important in this country? Are we ... view
