• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: That will be very kind of you. I was just finishing this bit to say that this idea of policing people is really not the correct thing to do. I think we have to have legislation. We need to move it to the budget line. We need to have institutions which will empower these people. Leadership is not the only indices for empowerment. Everybody is view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: talking about being in a political party or being elected. Why are we not talking about people who should be in institutions and schools? You must not be a politician to make a mark in this country. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, but you may… view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you were right when you asked the Member not to take far some of the comments which he started with. I was talking from the point of relevance, listening to the discussion the Member was passing across. I have told him elsewhere that I give advice for free on some of these things that are bedeviling him, including how to handle policemen when they come and when they are unwelcome guests into your house. I rendered some of these services free because I have gone through that. That Member is being introduced to them. Some of ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: (Inaudible) view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I apologise for my unwanted conversation, but I am not in the Committee. I would wish that Members of the Committee would allow some of us who are not in the Committee to add value to a journey that they have spearheaded. I am told that mandarins, brokers and people who are interested in this legislation are watching. I want them to know that we are debating this, not just for procedural propriety, but to get to the substance of it so that they know that we also know that they want to pilfer public resources ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am impoverished and not empowered. I wish there was a fund that looks into my interest. This is the essence of Article 100 of the Constitution. When I listen to people like the perpetrators of Punguza Mzigo Bill, I do not know how it escaped Hon. Shollei. They are scrapping Article 100 of the Constitution. That is what Mr. Aukot is saying. He wants to scrap Article 100 of the Constitution. He believes that there is some innovative ways of bringing a woman back to the discussion table by some subterfuge. This is how to ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The National Treasury should know that we are serious. We are not talking about regulations that will perpetuate the systems that have had these endemic problems. We are trying to create a new institute crafted by what we have learnt before, so that they can think more innovatively and create a system that young people, our women and people from marginalised communities will survive. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I have a problem with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. Everybody knows that it has been a cash cow. Every young person who comes from university suddenly wears good ties because he associates with the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. The women are doing very well with the Women Enterprise Fund. However, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund is just an orifice in which people make paper work and get money for free and refuse to refund. We told the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), Hon. Shebesh that the Youth Enterprise Development Fund will not work until there is proper oversight by legislators. ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Why re-invent the wheel? We have the Kenya Industrial Estates that follows this procedure of accessing finance to people in vulnerable conditions. We should learn from them and make it better and then direct it to the marginalised under Article 100 of the Constitution and it will be fine. We are not only annulling this, but we are warning them that we will annul any regulation they will bring which does not conform to these things. It is a beautiful thing we came up with the Committee on Delegated Legislation because nothing passes now. I hope they will be vanguards ... view
