• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: who have failed elsewhere. It is high time we de-politicised these institutions so that people do not run away with public funds. Our concern as a Government is to alleviate poverty. The best way to do this is to indulge strategically any corporate social responsibilities where institutions like these are called upon to participate in alleviating poverty. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Committee and to support the reports that they have made, embracing all the recommendations in there. view

• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have tried very much to follow my brother, Hon. Aburi Mpuru on this issue of kung’oa wanaume. Can he be kind enough to explain to us how a man anaweza kung’olewa? We do not understand. How is this happening? Maybe he can explain to us. Is it in order for him to use a language that we cannot understand? view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Fisheries development is an intervention that has become very popular at the moment. It is a very important natural resource. It provides the alternative for fish farmers who have no facilities like huge tracts of land and machinery. We have challenges here. This intervention needs regulation and deployment of extension officers who can give advice to fish farmers. This is a very important sector because it will alleviate poverty. However, it needs careful management. We are in a situation where our communities are faced with abject The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: poverty. There are issues of food insecurity. The Fisheries Management and Development Bill is very important because it is taking the management of fisheries to another level, where fish farmers can get some income to improve the welfare of their families. It is important for that sector to be supported. Many times, that has involved people who live around rivers and lakes and have coping skills to manage the industry. However, being a traditional industry, there is the general feeling that it is not modern and, therefore, it cannot be brought up to the market. It is good for us ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This country has a lot of historical issues that we must reflect on and reconcile ourselves with. One of the issues is this one upon which we are reporting as the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. I think of old teachers and know that some of them were our teachers. We worked with them, I am thinking of other workers as well. view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The other day we were debating on the post office and then we were also talking about the East African Community (EAC). A lot of these institutions have unfinished business with Kenyans who worked with them. All of them are related to pension. I have in mind someone like Leo Musakala, who has not been paid his pension having worked for the defunct EAC. I have in mind Kalimendi Likale Musonye, who has never been paid. I have in mind Apollo Lisutsa, a teacher who has produced professors. He could not even raise his fare to come to Nairobi. Each ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: It is only fair that we cause the Government to pay these teachers because they participated in building this country and they have made their case. It is only fair that we cause the Government to appreciate and take stock of the losses these senior citizens have incurred as the Government holds on their pensions; they should be compensated. It is only fair that we take full stock of this; it is only at the claim of pension that the Government does not want to spend money, yet we hear of a lot of losses in the country. view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Every time we have the Auditor-General’s report, we have unused and wasted resources. We hear of corruption. Why can we not once and for all get serious as a Government of the people and pay Kenyans whose pensions are due? view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I second. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
