• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: We have also to think about the status of those getting back to Kenya. We are not bringing back to Kenya a foreign student who could not get a ticket to come back to the country. We are actually bringing back criminals, or people who have committed civil crimes. So, they must receive here in Kenya the same punishment they would have received abroad. The only thing this Bill should provide is the emotional relief, so that loved ones of the person who is brought home can have the relief of seeing them, but the punishment that was given abroad ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. That is the quickest I have ever got in this House. Thank you very much. Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2013 is very important for our country because it sets out a holistic view of our economy and at the same time recognises Kenya’s regional and international commitments. More importantly, the strategies tend to cluster down into counties recognising the diversities of our counties’ needs of employment and diversity in terms of those areas of employment. As we know, labour is a key factor of production in any economy ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: We are sort of a sleeping giant because if you consider a population of about 65 per cent being youth, then we are a country that can explode into high development if these youth are utilised. Our country will be one of the best in this world in the coming years if we utilise that talent that is coming up. Let me also commend the Jubilee Government for taking a good direction. In my constituency today, we have the National Youth Service (NYS) working with the youth in programmes you could only dream of in a county like Samburu. We ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Joint Committee on National Cohesion and Equal opportunity. The concept of having an equal, just, cohesive and integrated society in itself is not only palatable to Kenyans and everybody in this world, but it is something that we must embrace. We have no option but to go in that direction. I would like to advise the Committee that listening to all Members is very important. From what I know about Kenya today, for us to get that just, cohesive and integrated society, economic disparity and availability of economic ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: integration unless we provide all people with equal opportunities irrespective of who is in power at that time. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: There is something that is common and similar across the different presidents that we have had in this country. People who have a president or are in power tend to benefit more. I am not saying one community but all of them. So we need to change from that so that we do not fight. The reason Kenyans fight over who becomes president even to losing our lives and having all these Internally displaced Persons (IDPs) is because we know that once one of their community members gets to State House they will benefit. We need to move out of ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think we formed a habit where we narrow the scope of what is independent. In my view, our laws envision independence not in that strict and narrow view that those constitutional commissions can be independent, if they do everything for themselves. In my opinion, commissions are more independent in their civic duty, but staff working in those commissions need independence from those commissions. Therefore, by having members of the Commission recruited by PSC, we will be enriching the independence of those commissions. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Motion. I rarely oppose things on this side of the House. It is hard for me to support something with this kind of interview results. I want to believe that there is something called “meritocracy” in this country. The reason why we conduct long and well-thought interviews is so that we can get to a position where people who are qualified can be picked. If you looked at the results of this interview, with all honesty, you will find that all the people who took number one were not ... view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The investor magazine, Bloomberg, the most reputable investor magazine in the world, voted Dr. Haron Sirima as the best to take over the CBK. He went to the interviews and became No.1 in the Republic of Kenya. I am truly proud to be a Samburu today but I feel bad being a Kenyan who is so proud and patriotic.
