• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, about two, three years ago, I was having a chat with President Thabo Mbeki, the retired president of South Africa and he told me that South Africa is importing welders, fitters and all those medium level workers for their industries from Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Indonesia because they do not have them. When we train our young people well from vocational training to technical institutes to higher polytechnics and they get good skills, never mind that there may not be immediately available jobs in Kenya, we can export labour to countries that needs them. For a long ... view

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: How will they do this? You have people who turn the economy. You have people who will sit in offices on their computers and work. You have people who will collect revenue with honesty. All these are people who come from middle-level colleges. You do not need a PhD holder to manage a payroll. You do not need a PhD holder to manage a master roll for paying land rates and land rent. You need technically-trained persons who will sit on end and tell you if Nairobi optimally collected its revenue like we know, Nairobi would be collecting close to ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: and she has come back driving a V-8. That is the measure of success. We must change this cycle so that we have Kenyans who work hard for this country. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this Bill is very important. As other Senators have said, there are little bits and pieces that we need to improve. I saw one clause, and I would like to tell Sen. (Dr.) Milgo that with proper drafting, we do not need it. Clause 21 says, ‘There is established in every county vocational education and training centers, a board to be known as the board of governors’. It goes on to say that the board shall not be a corporate entity. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: You do not need to say that because the law normally says it will enjoy corporate status. When you do not say it, Sen. Murkomen will tell you that in law, specifying one thing will exclude others. So, we do not need a clause like that in the law. I think she should remove it. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: I have seen where the board established. I thought the qualifications had not been provided but Sen. (Dr.) Zani pointed this out. I would want her to import the law that she is cross referencing in the qualifications of the board members to be part of the law so that you avoid any ambiguity on the qualifications, because many of the people who are going to administer this law will sometimes not care to read the law. If you tell them to appoint a board, they will appoint their cousins and brothers, some who are illiterate, some not, and some ... view

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: They need to be checked, vetted, licensed, and adhere to the standards set by the national council that is dealing with all these standards. Examinations that are conducted in these institutions are also standardized and that is a very good idea. When you get a plumber from Wajir, their quality should not be any different from a plumber from Bomet or Kericho. They are learning the same things, doing the same examinations and getting the same qualifications. They can work anywhere in this country. This is the only way that we can turn our country around. By emphasizing this middle ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, is the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet in order to set out lamentations on the Floor of this House on, in fact, a policy perfected by his Government? We have seen members of boards appointed and seven of them from one ethnic community; five appointed and four from one ethnic community. We have seen in his backyard a Vice Chancellor flashed out from a university because he is not from a certain community. To his credit, at least, he resisted that. view
