• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. It is very important because this is going to bring a kind of order, and bring to focus qualifications. We have a number of institutions that are offering various qualifications. So, it is high time we had a framework that will give guidance on how to consider various qualifications. One of the objectives of this Bill is to establish the Kenya Qualifications Authority and the standards for recognizing various qualifications. This Bill will give an opportunity to all Kenyans---Qualifications for various jobs will be based on the competence of the individual member ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this particular Bill which is important for us. It is also important to note that this Bill has really considered some of the very important sectors of our country like the question of security. At the moment we are dealing with issues of security which are very serious and this Appropriation Bill has given good resources to the Police, Kenya Defence Force (KDF) and even to the National Intelligence Service (NIS). view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as we appropriate this it is also important that the Government really improves the level of co-ordination among these different arms so that by the end of the day we also get the value of the money that we appropriate in this particular Budget allocation. So, in this way we should not have incidences where we are informed that the information was known and not acted upon.

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is also important in this particular Budget that certain sectors of the economy that have not been considered can be expanded as we consider this.

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: for which we are known for you will find that what is allocated to them in terms of developing this sector you will realise that it is not good enough. These are some of the things we may need to consider in a very serious way in this House. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: We also have other elements in terms of development. As a country we have increased funding to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but at times they do not represent our interests well. I happen to come from Igembe North Constituency, which is the cradle of miraa . I realise that even some of the countries that we visited have had committees of miraa . You hear that even our representatives there, like our representative in the Netherlands, made no appeal at all against that Government’s decision to ban miraa . The ban of miraa in London has frustrated the people ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: also more involving in trading with goods from other countries. If we put more money into the industries around Kariobangi, and support the juba kali sector by giving its players money, we can boost our production. Instead of importing everything from China, India and Korea, why can we not support our own producers, like those found in Nairobi’s Kariobangi Industries? They should be given the money they need. Hon. Speaker, we know that in countries like China, the governments invest in the production sectors. When money is injected into such sectors, it expands the economy and enables the government to ... view
