• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Motions:- THAT, aware that water is a crucial natural resource without which life would be impossible; and noting that just like other counties have mineral and non-mineral resources such as oil, gold and wildlife among others from which they draw part of their revenue; others such as Kwale, Taita-Taveta, Murang’a and Nyandarua counties have huge water resources, where for instance, Murang’a and Nyandarua provide 90 per cent of Nairobi County’s water supply; deeply concerned that despite providing that crucial resource to the national Government for which ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I also thank hon. Sakaja for contributing part of his time to me. The biggest challenge that we have in this country is unemployment. This Bill touches on the genesis of the monster called “unemployment”. Once passed, it will give the youth an opportunity to engage in fruitful engagement, which will ultimately empower them economically. As we consider the Bill, there are four cardinal points that I would like to mention, which should be checked. First, we need to engage in aggressive capacity building because the various geographical areas ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I would like to thank hon. Nyamai for this very timely Motion. As I sat here, I thought the processes you follow when you lose your ID, birth certificate and passport. You are taken through a very complicated and cumbersome process. Some of these things cannot be understood now that you are saying that we are in a digital era. It is time that we thought of a unified system; a system where by a touch of a button, your details are available and you are able to get ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I am thinking of this system because there are security concerns in this country, for example, the Westgate Mall terrorist attack. There are security concerns in this country but we are saying that even with these concerns, taking into cognizance the fact that we are talking about digital era, the security worry should not be there. We know and we have to be honest that in Kenya, you can easily get birth certificate or citizenship within a year. But in the US if you are not an American citizen, it takes you more than 15 years for you to get ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We have concern in terms of procedure, time and costs. We are saying that if you have all it takes, if you are a Kenyan citizen born in Kenya and you have the requisite identification, then with a touch of a button, you should be able to get these documents from a central place within record time. This is a right for every Kenyan. That is why we are saying that it is high time we had a unified registry so that Kenyans can get these identification documents in a record time. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: There were many Kenyans who could not vote during the last elections because they did not have the requisite documents because of the process, time and other logistics. It is high time that we all upheld this Motion because it is timely for Kenyans to get these documents and we do not want to be taken through this process again. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I am a consultant and sometimes it is complicated when you apply for a search certificate. It takes seven days. Some of us are also in the process of obtaining mortgage. To get documents from the Lands Office, it takes 14 days. These are not things that are acceptable or can be discussed in a digital era. With all fairness, we are saying that it is possible and we should come up with a central registry so that Kenyans can get IDs and PIN numbers in a record time. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I strongly support this Motion. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. 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
• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of this Committee for a commendable job executed. On Mwea Trustland, tension has been rising because the community is not happy with the management of the trustland. One view
