• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will start by saying that I actually think the job that has been done by the committees is commendable. To my mind, the budget process is the most important business that this House transacts, if not critical. We are here starting the process of the budget cycle. As we do this, we are all alive to the fact that economic alarm bells are going off incessantly around this country. We have to, at one point, pause and reconsider what it is that we do in this House and ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Why I say that is because at this time, we know what the economic situation in this country is like. We know the global outlook. We also know that there are countries that are going to be receiving sanctions and yet those countries are very critical to the economy of this country. There are oil producing countries that are facing sanctions at this time. We will also have to think about what we do with our Budget in this country. It is going to be important that we unpack this Report that has been presented to us. In my mind, ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Kimunya to know the basic tenets of an economy. There are some irrefutable laws in economics that you cannot change. One is that you have to live within your means. We will draw a budget of Kshs3 trillion whereas in reality, maybe, all we can afford is Kshs1.7 trillion. Let us go back to those ministries, SAGAs and departments and tell them that we have to prioritise those things that will work towards building a sustainable Kenya. When we talk about debt levels of this nature, we are not working for posterity. We are in the era of the Big ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: This is a country of young people with a mean age of 18. This Government has promised young people that they will be enabled to run their own businesses so that they do not just depend on employment. We have other affirmative funds to help our women and marginalised people. This Government has promised a bank that will consolidate all those affirmative funds where we can all draw from as the youth of this country, women and other people seeking affirmative funds. But in this BPS, we do not see anything on the status of the establishment of Biashara Bank ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not take for granted this opportunity to support this Bill. I want to declare that I support the Bill. It is a critical matter like this one that reveals the real mettle of a man. This is going to be a controversial debate. It is going to be so at this level of debating and at the moment we shall be called upon to vote. At the point of voting, the real mettle of the men and women who have spoken in this House shall be proved. The great Martin Luther ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: only to this region, but also to the whole world. Barrack Obama, in his first visit to this country, said that it would be very unfortunate for any team going for a game to play with half of its team members on the bench. Right now, we are keen to put half of our team on the platform so that we can move ahead as a country. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I support. view

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Motion. I am praying that this is not one of those Motions that are going to end at just urging the Government. I congratulate the Mover of this Motion for that reason. The model of certification that is being suggested here is actually going to be playing catch-up. It is going to be playing catch-up because out there, our young people are already trained. The model in which they are training through is called apprenticeship. In fact, it is a most amazing model of learning because you learn on the job. What we are saying is not that we are ... view
