• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. There is great need for us to head forward and emphasize on the need to put resources in place, in order to complete the very critical projects. For example, in my Ministry, there are very many major projects in all the counties of this country that require completion so that we may, in our small way, occupy the population of the youths lying idle in the villages. The Youth Empowerment Centres have not been completed and those that have infrastructure do not have equipment and resource persons have not been allocated. ... view

• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, currently, a lot of our programmes on governance in terms of activism, awareness and networking grassroots organizations, are being executed by the civil society. While we acknowledge and applaud the civil society, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Community Based Organizations (CBO), for the very positive role they have played in our democratization process and in enabling audit of Government work and Parliamentary work, it is now necessary in 2011 towards Vision 2030, which is two decades only, to entrench the questions, programmes and processes of governance in the Government itself.

As I listened to the President’s Speech, I ... view
