• 28 Jul 2021 in Senate: Further, the President has also been given seven days before nominating those that have qualified. In this case, the names of three people will be sent to the President to choose. Despite the fact that this is a small amendment, it will fill the lacuna that has existed for a long time. I wish we had a commission which will check on issues of borrowing and debts. The SRC has squeezed and ensured that there is no overpayment or wastage of public funds.

• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Our youth are about 75 per cent. That is the age of 18-35 years. Therefore, despite the fact that our country is a large economy, it cannot provide jobs to these youth. The new front of spurring the economy of our country will be in start-ups. This will enable our country to create wealth and provide jobs for our youth. Therefore, we ought to support this Bill so that our youth will start businesses. Madam Temporary Speaker, recently, we have been employing teachers. We will employ only 10,000 teachers, 5,000 for primary and 5,000 for secondary schools. The number of ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: I thank Sen. Sakaja because looking at Part II of this Bill on establishment of incubation programmes, it goes a long way to bringing on board not only of the national, but also county government which is the next layer of management. For a long time, our youths have not been in a position to know where to look for ideas and what to do next. We will engage the national and county governments that have been given roles to play like ensuring that they promote creation of employment and wealth through start-ups and incubation ideas. view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, these centers will ensure that there are linkages of start-up programmes to the universities and special institutions such as Konza City.

Konza will be a wonderful place. We should inform our youth that this is an area where they can go and come up with new ... view

• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, these layers of Government will also provide policy and regulations to guide star-up ideas by the youth. They shall ensure that they form public private partnerships (PPP) with non-governmental institutions such as the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) just to name but a few. Those institutions will provide ideas to our youth. They will even enhance the fact that they may encourage these youths to show them the market. When the hands of the youths are held, they will even expand their ideas globally because the world currently is ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: The national Government and county governments are supposed to create an enabling environment to ensure that start-up programmes are nurtured to maturity.
