• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Specifically, I have been advised that the part stating ‘35 per cent of the population in the country’ is erroneous. In my understanding, the youth population is close to 75 per cent of the population. These are people who are 35 years and below. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: We need to determine that anybody below 35 years of age does not need to prove his or her financial credibility because at that level and age, they have not had an opportunity to earn any money. Even if you have been employed somewhere, you most probably have not been able to pay your loans if you had a loan in campus. My proposal is that we should pass a law to say that for anybody who is 35 years and below, what is needed is proof that the person is not a criminal. So, you can take your certificate ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: In regards to other certificates like HELB and tax compliance certificates, I suggest that we make the decision that we will not be asking our young people to provide those kinds of documents. I say this because in Nyeri, one of the things that my office has done is to create a data pool for all the young people in my constituency who are looking for jobs. One of the biggest challenges that we keep facing is that every time somebody has an opportunity to go for an interview, they have to pay close to Kshs5,000 for the documents, and ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to speak to the constitutionality issue. My colleague, Hon. Oluoch has spoken about Article 24. He started with Article 37 and I agree with him. In fact, I am one of the few people who have an order from court confirming that aspect of the Constitution. We have Article 28 which speaks about the right to human dignity; Article 29 which speaks about freedom and security of the person; Article 39 which speaks about freedom of movement and residence and Article 40 which speaks about protection of right to property. The electronic ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On the issue concerning constitutionality of the Motion, I have noticed that my colleague has either deliberately or by default decided to understand what we are discussing as a limitation to a right. As a House, we have been mandated by the Constitution to make laws. We have to begin from somewhere. Looking at the Motion we are discussing, we are doing this because as a country we have a history of this right being misused. For example, the fact that Hon. Oluoch is picketing does not mean that I cannot move or go to the airport as Ngunjiri because ... view

• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have a problem with that amendment. My understanding of this particular Motion is that the Mover is asking this House to think about police officers serving in hardship areas. I do not think that it is in contention that we need to do something about police officers as a whole. However, that is not what I understand the Mover of this Motion to be trying to introduce. He is saying that we need to think about police officers who work in hardship areas. So, if you remove that particular aspect and ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: areas need salary incentives and adequate decent housing. So, removing the part of “Northern Kenya and other hardship areas” is actually changing the entire Motion. We will now be talking about the police force as a whole. That is my point. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had tried to get a point of order when Hon. Otiende Amollo was on the Floor. I have just heard the issue repeated by my friend, Hon. Maanzo. I just wanted them to clarify to us because some of us are not lawyers. When they say that hacking is not a crime, at this moment in time, I want to understand what that means. I understood Hon. Otiende to be saying that they actually accessed the IEBC servers. Hon. Maanzo is now telling us that it is not a crime. The ... view
