• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to this Petition and thank Hon. Mbui for it. Generally, victims of attacks of this kind where some people die and others lose limbs should be compensated. I refer to a case in Ndhiwa where so many victims have not been compensated. Some have lost their livelihoods through wild animals or tsetse fly attacks. So, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs should act. We should be a little bit more strategic. What action are they going to take because there are many things pending on their desk? ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I had made a request for the next Motion. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Kanyi for bringing this Motion. In my constituency, many kids do not go to high school not because they have performed poorly – and some are very bright - but because of economic hardships. That is so especially with first-borns who give way to others and join informal sectors in order to support the family. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: If we talk about formal employment, 67 per cent of youth are unemployed and are in the informal sector. They are brilliant in painting, carpentry, mechanics, electrical, tiling, solar system and plumbing that Members have talked about. I support the Motion because it will improve their access to opportunities when they get certified. It will also improve competencies. Even those who make it academically to higher education levels need competent people to build for them or do some fittings. We only have five centres which are logistically very difficult to sponsor those students to go and do their certification. They ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I support certification and testing to be decentralised to constituencies. It may not mean building new institutions but improving the capacity of the existing polytechnics or vocational training centres to offer the certifications. It will also help that cadre of people to improve their grades so that they can do another certificate or a degree. It is said that where you start does not really matter but upgrading is what really matters. It will improve the opportunity for employment. Right now, we are talking about the Big Four Agenda. The housing part will need those with certificates in order to ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: without certification, it means you are paid lowly. Low payment means that, that household suffers economically. Even the kids you wanted to help as first-borns will still be at risk. Certification will improve opportunities for good employment and good remuneration and that will uplift people’s lives. I support this Motion because it is going to help the Ndhiwa Community at large. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I will make brief comments. I tend to agree with that amendment. This is a very technical area. I am a Member of the Committee and I think there is no harm. So, I support. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. I just wanted to say that I think that is a typing error. It should be “dentists” and not “dental”. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The Bill may be faulty but we are addressing the parent Act. What we are saying is that this consultation is wrong. So, we give the council the power to consult from time to time. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I rise to support this Bill. Ndhiwa, as a Sub-county, is a food basket for the whole County of Homa Bay. It is only that it has not been enhanced in the past year because we do not have warehousing system. If this is put in place… view
