• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Kwa hakika, Hoja hii itabadilisha mambo mengi. Wananchi wa Kenya wanazungumza kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Tukitumia Kiswahili, wataelewa ni mipango gani tunafanya katika Bunge kila siku. Kwa hivyo, itakuwa ni fursa nzuri sana kwa Wakenya wote wakisikia kila neno ambalo linasemwa Bungeni linasikika kila mahali. Kila Mkenya ataelewa kabisa. Kwa hayo machache, ninaunga mkono Hoja hii. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate that the minutes I had left are back on and I can continue contributing to this debate. Thank you so much. I support this Bill on special interest groups. It is quite essential and important. The Constitution of Kenya is quite clear in the sense that it has catered for every individual that lives within the borders and boundaries of this country. In that sense, our Constitution is clear and outrightly gives opportunity to every individual that belongs to this country. To those who come to this country, obviously there are provisions ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Minority groups, women, the youth and those who have special abilities are important members of our society. For them to be considered by the Constitution is quite vital. Therefore, this Bill has clearly outlined that people of special interest groups can vie for electoral and unelected offices. They can vie for various positions in this country. Therefore, this Bill will ensure that the decision that was made between 2008 and 2015, that is about five years now, was quite overdue. Therefore, the Bill is timely and will ensure that that has been put in. Given that I am carrying on ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. I can hear my colleagues yelling out “time”! I shall obviously stand by that. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This Motion touches on the nitty-gritty that is required for our children and future generation. That is where ideally this Motion touches. It is where the rubber meets the road. That is what we will do. Article 55 of the Constitution of Kenya clearly spells out that the youth should achieve their full potential through education and training. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, in line with that, this Motion touches on that aspect of Article 55 of the Constitution of Kenya. This country lacks absolute training and this means that many Kenyans are not educated to the level that we would have expected them to be. Going to primary schools and dropping out even at secondary levels is not sufficient enough to call ourselves an educated nation. For this nation to be an educated nation, it requires to inculcate efforts that can increase the knowledge and skills of our society. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This country lacks apprenticeships. It requires people who transition from a lower level of education to middle level of education so that they can carry the bulk of the practitioners of technical skills. In the 1800, there used to be the “Journey man.” This is an individual who is considered to be going out daily for work that may be skilled or not. Eventually, that transitioned further and became an apprenticeship where an individual comes out with particular skills and knowledge. Those skills are used for their day to day earnings. Those are plumbers, electricians and carpenters; individuals who can ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools was a God sent decision to this country. Many children who are missing out on secondary schools because they did not get a particular grade have been abolished. That was a great thing for our children to have. So, we need that possibility that our students from secondary schools can transition to the next level of tertiary education. This is so that they can get skills and do not just become a “journey man or woman” that ends up not getting the right education or middle level skills. In other ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: However, those are very important people. They form the largest bulk of modernised countries and those that are heading there. They contribute high tax revenue. They increase tax collection in this country. So, those are the people that we want to approach and ensure that we have given them another transition level where they can get their secondary certificate and then from there they can go in to apprenticeship and traineeship and become blue collar workers. That is the time they will start contributing to this country. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Apprenticeship is done while the trainee is still working. Meaning that you have finished your secondary school education, gone for an apprenticeship and may not have succeeded in going to the university. But you get skills through job training. So, a mechanic is trained at the garage. At that garage, a young man is enrolled as an apprentice, taught how to fix cars, others can become carpenters and taught how to make furniture and then from there on that person can become independent. They eventually open their businesses and thus becoming independent young men and women who can contribute to ... view
