• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: come with no documents and we have lawyers going to the airport to cause drama so that there can be some demonstrations, we need to run away from that. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion which was well put by the Mover. The issue of youth unemployment in this country can longer be swept under the carpet. The Mover did a very good job in doing a good research. She talked to many youth but she forgot to come to Mwea and talk to my youth who also fall under the category that she mentioned. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The problems that our youth are facing need to be confronted. One of the things the Mover is suggesting is meant to remove all the impediments that confront our youth when they try to advance their career or interest in business. You are aware that one of the requirements in this country is to ensure that 30 per cent of our procurement goes to the youth. Because the youth face all these problems and they are required to have all these statutory requirements, they end up approaching the rich people who are able to buy the tenders for them. They ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The youth continue to be used and they suffer. Look at the population that we are talking about. For example, in my constituency, I am aware that I have not less than 110,000 youth today who are not sure of how they will earn a living tomorrow. They end up going for cheap casual jobs because they are not able to access jobs that would otherwise be better for them. That is why we, Members of Parliament, struggle sometimes to look for companies that fall under the category of youth because they are not there. When we tell them to ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I am also of the opinion that even as we give these big jobs to these companies, one of the checklist should be on the area of mentoring our youth who have small companies. We want to see big companies mentoring our young men in the big building industry so that tomorrow they will tender for themselves, pick up jobs and earn a living from the construction industry. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to second this Motion and urge our colleagues to bring amendments that can strengthen it. We need to talk more about components like mentorship, which I have just talked about. Big companies should mentor our youth who have small companies so that they can pick up jobs in the market. They can be mentored to tender and get jobs. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I second the Motion. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Motion that this House approves the appointment of Mr. Alfred Kipkorir Cheruiyot as the PS, Correctional Services in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. During our vetting, we observed, found and made conclusions that led to the recommendation that has just been read by our Chairman. We noted that Mr. Alfred Cheruiyot has a wide experience in the field of Information Technology. Those of us who are familiar in that field are aware that for one to be a successful expert in ICT, you must be all-rounder by ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Services to be quite efficient in its processes just as we have noted in other departments including the Directorate of Immigration and Registration of Persons, where computerisation is now quite good. Systems can detect travelers in and out of this country, especially when they do not have travel documents as they come into our country. Alfred has a Master’s degree in Business Administration. That gives him a wide experience in dealing with systems and people. He will deal with the financial systems as an accounting officer, coordinate with other departments in the Ministry and deal with inter- ministerial meetings. Mr. ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. Since much has been spoken on the same, I will go to the points I feel are necessary. When we listened to the Mover of this Bill and thereafter submission by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, we realise that there is a lot of relationship between the two Committees as far as this Bill is concerned. As we discuss this Bill, we need to look at its implementation. We have had Bills that have been put in place in this country but because of ... view
