• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am very grateful to get this opportunity. When we were in that institution called Moi High School, Kabarak, together I believed one day you would be seated on that seat. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to oppose this Bill. Sometimes you wonder why people do not just accept their positions as they are and exactly what they went to ask the Kenyan public to give them. Every elective position has a job description pegged to it by the Constitution. When you asked to be a constituency MP, there were certain duties that Kenyans expected you to perform. If you asked for the seat of the Women Representative, there are certain roles that Kenyans expected you to play. If you went for the Senate seat, the same thing applies. I ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: know how many people. This Bill should not go through the Floor of this House, particularly because I see them also trying to take the CDF in the same way. I beg to oppose this Bill and I urge the Members of this House to do the same. If the Senators are trying to take their battle with the governors to another level the best thing for them to do, if they do not have enough to do, is to save the Kenyan public a lot of expenses by just getting rid of that House. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Is the good General in order to insinuate that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare brought flimsy reasons in rejecting the candidature of Dr. Alawy, when we brought a report that quotes the Constitution of this country and what is required to be done? Secondly, it is a Report that has already been adopted by this House. It was properly in order and we convinced the House. I think the good General is out of order and should apologize. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill with amendments. Whereas hon. Sakaja did a good job with regard to this Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill it is good to reiterate what the earlier speakers have said that it should be all inclusive. It should include all the marginalized groups, including the youth, women and the disabled. Yesterday when we were passing the Uwezo Fund Regulations I mentioned that Government Ministries are yet to adhere to the spirit of the President in having the youth and women of this country to participate in procurement. They are ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, jobs within Government are also procured. It is good that women and youth can get jobs within the public service. I think the Government has good intentions, but there are those who still have the old bureaucratic mentality within Ministries. They must learn what the Jubilee Government wants. We must read from the same script. Corruption is also making it difficult for youth companies to get business. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendment by the Senate on the Uwezo Fund Regulations. Really, the women and youth of this country have been waiting for the Uwezo Fund to be rolled out. I have made an observation on what is happening in our various Ministries, particularly when they advertise for tenders. Ministries are still prohibiting companies run by women and youth from participating in tendering. As we roll out the Uwezo Fund, we want to--- view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: No! No! I have supported the amendment that has been brought by the Senate to the Title, but I was making an observation. 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
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As we roll out this Fund which, of course, is going to be used for businesses to generate money by the young people and women, Government Ministries must really take note and make the environment enabling for the youth and women. When they do tendering - and we have been seeing this in the daily newspapers - they still insist on companies having been established two to five years ago. Many companies that have been established by women and young people are recent because of the encouragement from the President. We would want that requirement to be waived. Let them ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can assure you my people would not forgive me if I do not contribute to this Bill. It is one Bill that is very dear to them and they have been waiting for it for so long. I can tell you they have been on the corridors of Parliament trying to urge us to support the Bill because of the good in the Bill. There are a lot of things in this Bill which are good and progressive. However, there are few things that need to be amended. As I support the Bill, ... view
