  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, are you satisfied that that frivolous point raised by Sen. (Dr.) Langat meets the length, breath and meaning of a point of order? He just stood and pursued a misadventure that took him nowhere by way of argument. He never told us what was out of order in what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. was saying. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. Once I said on this Floor that the exuberance of Sen. Murkomen sometimes reminds me of a child who is touching a toy for the first time in life. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can see that Sen. Murkomen did not listen to what I said. I talked about your exuberance but you have isolated the word, child, from the sentence. This is a good Bill that can help this country. From our Independence, we always talk about the youth as the leaders of tomorrow. We need to make the youth the leaders of today not just in politics but in every aspect of life. The whole world is now technologically driven. China was a very backward country in the 1960’s. Today, they are ruling the world. India was a ... view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Looking at the history of humanity, many great people that were innovative were legends at ages above 25 and 30 years. Martin Luther King Jnr,. that we talk about all the time, died before the age of 40 years. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, died on the cross at the age of 33 years. The legendary Bob Marley died at 36 years. When you listen to his music, you think he died at 90 years. There are many others such as the founders of Apple and many others we can talk about, who have been ingenious young people. Some ... view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this country, we have a law about credit and contracts to help young people. I think it was promoted by Sen. Sakaja, my distinguished nephew. If you go to counties all over the country, including where we come from, you cannot exhaust the fingers on one hand if you count the young people who have benefited from contractual facilities in the county. Even when contracts are segregated for young people, you will find it is the old people masquerading as young people who are awarded those contracts. So, how will the young grow? We need to ... view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, because of a poor legal regime, nobody will ever remember the young Kenyan who innovated M-Pesa. He probably got nothing out of it, or if he did, it cannot be much. Yet an innovation of that nature--- There are many social network platforms for online use that have been invented by young Kenyans without any support. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Sen. Sakaja says that we should not leave these young Kenyans to be thrown in the deep end to struggle to swim. Let us help them to get into the pool and be able to help humanity. In doing so, I want to encourage Sen. Sakaja that when you want to create and support innovation, you must emphasize on an enabling environment and attendant resources. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that this agency we are talking about will not strangulate innovation instead of assisting it. When we start talking about keeping registers and accounting whether you have received support--- For example, if a young person receives some money from a well-wisher in India or America, let us not box them into a corner where they have to fill forms in an agency and tell the state. view
