• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: operators have roles to play. For the boda boda industry to operate very efficiently the Government must provide a special road for the boda boda operators. In this day and age if you allow boda bodas and vehicles to operate on the same road, you will realise that now and then they are involved in accidents. Hon. Deputy Speaker, recently we were in Holland and we saw how bicycles are used properly; they have their special roads. Boda bodas there also have special roads and that has really helped the people. Boda bodas are efficient, cheaper and environmentally friendly, and ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: operators. This is because most of the time you realise that we have people in wards and they have injuries as a result of accidents by boda bodas. If we have comprehensive insurance for them most likely they will have a good cover and their bills 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
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: will easily be paid by their insurance. However, now they are all suffering and some of the fractures they cause are very difficult to mend or repair. So, it is getting very hectic for them. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other issue which I would like to touch on is regulation. This is an industry that needs to be regulated. Regulation means discipline. Like the view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: industry, it has been so much abused. Why am I talking about discipline? This industry has been infiltrated by people who have criminal intents. Some criminals have been using boda bodas. It is very important that from the outset boda boda operators are given a certificate of good conduct; due diligence should be done about somebody’s conduct and history, so that people know exactly who is operating in a certain locality; they know that you are not a criminal. Also, the people you carry must be known. You might, without knowing it, carry criminals and that way become a criminal ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like first to thank hon. Diriye, the Member for Wajir South and my neighbour for bringing such a Motion. I think this Motion is very timely in the sense that majority of people in northern Kenya today are facing the worst discrimination in terms of issuance of identity cards. Why do I say that? There are many Somalis, Boranas, Gabras and Oromos who are stateless in this country. They are stateless because they are not being issued with identity cards. On that note, they are unable to travel, access jobs and cannot ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: waiting card being stopped by police. They are not allowed to travel since they lack identity cards. Such a person is literally an animal; he does not exist as a human being. Even an animal has more freedom than that person because he cannot get access to any Government service, cannot open a bank account, cannot go to University and cannot access Government buildings. He cannot move anywhere. It is really painful when you are a Member of Parliament from that area and you cannot get your people identity cards. They ask why you are not helping them yet they ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: because they are viewed as refugees. So, today as we speak, there are about 200,000 Somalis who are stateless. They are Kenyans yet they are not Kenyans and they have nowhere to go. They cannot get jobs; they cannot get education; they cannot do business, they cannot travel and they cannot get married because for you to get a marriage certificate, you must have an identity card. So, those are basic things which we need to address. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, If you travel from Mandera to Nairobi, there are about 60 roadblocks and officers manning them do not ask ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On security matters, if the Government is serious and committed, let us register all the refugees. Most of these refugees end up in Europe and others in North America and in less than three months, they are given identity cards, passports or a nationality in those countries. If a mzungu is giving identity cards, nationalities and recognizes those people, why are we not doing that? There are many Ugandans who came here and ended up settling. Immigrants normally upscale the economy of any country. If I leave here today and I stay in Europe or in Canada, within a short ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Turkana happens to be the highest recipient of relief food in this country. Children in Turkana have dropped out of school because of hunger and poverty. These children are supposed to be in school, but most of them are languishing outside school and have nowhere to go. Actually, low-cost boarding schools will be a catch for children who stay out of school; the Chairperson is not coming out very clearly on this matter. We want to find out whether the Government is willing to pump money to those areas; you realize that children are leaving ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: continues and they continue to suffer. So, what is the Ministry policy, because Turkana is the poorest community in this country? view
