• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As stated by the earlier speaker, this Bill is, indeed, overdue. Security, indeed, is a responsibility for all. The cardinal rule in security is to start with avoidance, destruction and then distance is your friend. In creating that distance, we need to have situational analysis which should be the prerogative of all citizens in Kenya. In having those security firms and individuals registered, it is important to have an elaborate training programme and sharing of data with all the individual security organs. This will enhance the atmosphere for investments, ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was saying that any officer who has left service, so long he or she left honourably, is activated into a reservist data- base. That will tally with the world ratio of police to citizen of 1:300. We should ensure that those people are on high alert. They would go further and supplement initiatives like NyumbaKumi, where you will have skilled people to supplement them within the communities. This will go a very long way in ensuring that Kenya is, indeed, a safe place. I want to thank the Mover of this Bill for ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: retire, all that knowledge disappears. They just sit at home and remain with the knowledge. They do not pass it to somebody else. So, through the security firms, we can transfer that knowledge. That would give Kenya the edge not just locally, but within the region. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I narrow my contributions to that. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. This is a Bill whose time has come. I want to commend my colleague and friend, Hon. Sakaja, because it 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
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: espouses the very essence of Vision 2030 in terms of its focus on our three pillars, which are the economic, political and social pillars. What I would want to address in the objectives is that we should not just limit ourselves locally in terms of the database; we should also provide for international placements. Kenya’s human capital is well-sought after, especially the youth. The Entrepreneurship Summit which is forthcoming will prove that Kenya’s innovation is world class; that is why we are home to great innovations in many sectors. We should look at placements internationally because Kenya’s human capital is ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank Hon. Dawood for such an extensive job he has done in enumerating this in this House. I want to go further and say that this is a very important Motion because we are talking about the economics of life. As we discuss ICUs and blood transfusion centres or blood banks, we are talking about the health of our nation. In this regard, the very unity of our country is built on its love. We might disagree at many levels but ultimately, there is nothing like the Kenyan ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: these costs over time. Because we have a Fund like the NHIF, we could look at this as a source of funding for these ICUs, HDUs and blood transfusion centres. When we have had terrorist attacks in the country such as the 1998 bombing, the Westgate attacks and the Garissa attacks, what always follows is an appeal for blood. It is sort of a knee jerk reaction. If we have blood banks spread all over this country, we will simply be saying the blood types and it will be brought. This is because it is stored in a national data ... view
• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I simply want to say this: The reason why we bequeath the Auditor-General the role of looking at the books of accounts is to ensure that an entity is indeed a going concern in the next financial year. Looking at the policy objectives, so long as they are clearly spelt out, ours is to find out whether we are regressing or progressing. Are we achieving it or not? My stand is opposing the amendment because it does not give us the length and breadth of whether we are a going concern unit in the ... view

• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak to this Motion. At the outset, I want to support the Committee in its work and what they have done. I reiterate the special position that the telecommunications sector is in, in terms of driving us to become a middle income State. view
