• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to thank the House and particularly the leadership for the work well done. I thank the Departmental Committee on Lands for this Bill. It will do a lot of good to people like us who are in the neighbourhood of Nairobi where development needs to be organised. As we break, I wish everybody a Merry Christmas. We must remember that this country is ours and it does not matter which side we sit. We do not have another country to go to. I trust and believe that all of ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to air my views on this very important Motion. First, as a country, it is important for us to note that we are not gun manufacturers. If you look around the whole world, you can see many countries are going through a very frustrating time, particularly USA where guns have been used in schools to kill children. In Sweden, people have been shot on the highway. I can understand the frustrations of my colleagues when they say that they need to track guns. As much as we would want ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the deletion. It will remove the notion that we have something to hide in this House. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, let me say that it is very hard to give my comments as an engineer. Very many of my friends have talked of engineers as people who are selfish. I am a registered engineer under the Engineers Registration Board and I had to go through a process. For you to be recognised as a professional engineer, you must not just have a degree certificate. It is a matter of demonstration of further training and experience. You have to prove to the Board that, in fact, you can conduct yourself as a professional. Many ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have spent a lot of time in my life training technicians, artisans and even specialised people; there is no engineer who can perform without the support of these people. We are missing the point, which is that there is the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) and this body regulates the conduct and professionalism of the engineers. We cannot have a board that is given a responsibility to take care of artisans. So, from that angle, I understand the frustration particularly of technicians and artisans, who feel like the Board does not represent them. This country ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: In this country, we have technicians and artisans, whom sometimes we refer to as Artisans Levels 1, 2 and 3, and who have licences to operate. I can say here without fear that you cannot operate even a crane, in this country, if you are not licensed to do so as a technician. You cannot work on a boiler in this country if you do not have the boiler licence to do the inspection. In fact, there were certain omissions particularly in terms of the people who have graduated with a Bachelor of Technology degree; the engineers were not recognising ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to join my colleagues in congratulating the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs led by the Chairman on this very important Bill. This Bill will certainly help us in this country and particularly business The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: people by keeping vultures who hang around ailing companies at bay. I believe this is good for the future of business in this country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
