• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I needed your indulgence before we support the Report on the Business Laws. There is something grave that is happening on the issuance of public licences in this country and selective application. This is especially to MPs and, indeed, people who are categorised as politically exposed persons and this includes all of us, our families and spouses. There is a trend that has come to my attention that we are being shut out of the financial banking system. After the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal was reported and a Statement given by the ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. That particular amendment is very good especially for companies The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: which were public in nature and have since been floated and you want to ensure that the minority within the same companies get their way, especially in nominating directors to vote on the way business is conducted. This is to ensure that it is in tandem with the original thinking of the entities. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I support that amendment. Thank you. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. We must oppose this amendment because the whole premise of having a levy coming from the public to be able to pay off our loans is wrong. The SGR’s operational costs are being run by a private entity. They are not being run by Government. So, when you give them a carteblanche to use the money to pay for operations, then you really do not have a cap on the operational costs. You are all of a sudden going to stare at a levy which is going to get bankrupt. The time we will ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to give a word on this very important Amendment Bill. At the outset, it is critical to recognise the amount of resources as a nation that we bestow unto our youth. When we see staggering figures such as 73 per cent of this nation is composed of the youth, it lends a hand to seeing if we are positioning ourselves as a country in the right way. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: In the statistics which were presented to us during the last census, we had more that 1.8 million graduates looking for jobs. If you do a quick arithmetic for a graduate and you know a graduate programme costs an average of Ksh1million over a four year period, this means parents in this nation have deployed in access of Ksh1 trillion shillings which is almost a third of our national Budget towards these youth who are gravely disenfranchised. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: That is just the cost of their university education. We are not talking about high school expenditure, their living expenses and what drain has already occurred at the family level. It begs to follow when you hear that the National Youth Council gets a budget of only Ksh348 million a year. Where are we placing our priorities? If Kenyan parents invested in land and property, livestock or other intangible investments using the same funds, certainly they would have title deeds and way to cash back that money so as to make greater investments. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: However, the value of a certificate cannot be put into any financial institution in Kenya to give a percentage of that back to them, which begs us to look inwardly at even the composition. Much as we are talking about politicising the selection process of the NYC, we need to go down to the fundamentals in this nation and see how well we are indoctrinating our youth into the realities of life and what position innovation takes in growing our country. I will share examples of the power of innovation. A young Edison discovered electricity that transformed the world and ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: We must look at the age of our innovative people which is the young people and see what we are giving ourselves to take us to the next level. Today, we are talking about artificial intelligence. We heard about the recent visit by President Trump to India and Prime Minister Modi boasting they will become a leading country in the export of military hardware around the globe and take the lead in the innovations towards artificial intelligence.
