• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker I, therefore, want him to withdraw the statement that KMC is a hole where the Government is putting money because he knows very well that corruption is what has brought KMC to its knees. If we were to have a good management and a board of people who mind and care about KMC, that Commission would be alive, working and giving value for money to the taxpayers in this country. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. This country needs its livestock products to be well marketed. I want to remind this House that Botswana had its meat commission commissioned in 1965 and they came to Kenya to learn about meat processing, meat products and issues to do with the quality of meat. Today, Botswana is the leading exporter of beef and animal products. We have one problem in this country. We establish new authorities and ignore the existing ones. I will remind this House about the Pyrethrum Board of this country. A few years ago, Kenya ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I understand. I know the Hon. Member is the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives and at one point I was wondering how he became the Chairman of agriculture. He should have been a chairman of a livestock entity because he was squarely brought up in a livestock environment. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am very relevant. If you look at the terms of reference of KMC… view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand guided. However, if you look at the mandate and functions of KMC, this Bill squarely sits in the mandate of KMC. If I wanted to be a bit lenient, I would say that this Bill should be introduced as part of KMC’s mandate so that KMC can be seen to be making use of its mandate as an agency which this country started as a pilot scheme and was very successful. Government-in, Government-out, there have been many boards at the KMC. They just allocate money to KMC and the meat is planned for even before ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. That was on a light note and I hope Hon. Sheikh was not serious about it. I think it is important that when we are in this House, we respect each other. All Members are here to be heard and not to be seen. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I agree that the Government must have a 100 per cent transition from secondary education to tertiary education. We must ask ourselves what happened because we have very many policies. The idea of village polytechnics was ideal and noble. This is because in the past, village polytechnics used to serve anybody who had reached Standard VII or VIII. In the villages, you could find masons, carpenters and tailors. There was even distribution of craftsmanship and some technicality was happening. It deviated Kenyans from thinking that white collar jobs are everything. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This policy will guide this Government and, particularly, the Ministry of Education on introduction of TVETS in most constituencies. As I stand here, I want to ask how many 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: constituencies have technical training institutes in this country. I know it is important to give our children education that will help them get employment; either self-employment or by various Government departments. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We have the Youth Fund and Women Fund and we have never adequately addressed the idea of empowering the youth even before we give them cash. We have never embedded entrepreneurship and trained them on how to run their businesses. I think it is high time this policy was implemented and remained truthful to the core. I want to agree with Members and particularly one speaker who said universities are engaging in certificate and diploma courses. Long time ago, going to the university was a pipe dream. Every child dreamt of going there. Today, I see the University of Nairobi ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: If this Motion passes and becomes a Bill, I think we should all support it and be truthful to ourselves and make the Government ensure that every constituency has a technical training institute to absorb our youths who finish Form IV. With those few remarks, I support. view
