• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: I recall performance in various parastatals like Uplands Bacon Factory in my constituency, which employed 1,000 people. I also recall the Kenya Meat Commission, where employees had not been given their wages, profits had not been realized and, eventually, these entities were closed and job losses experienced. This non-development has caused insecurity in the country because the young people of this country have continued not to have any employment. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this has also caused economic stagnation because economic growth has not been realized. Impunity has continued to thrive in our country, corruption has been the order of the day and we have created unnecessary millionaires in this country. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Some areas in this country have continued to be marginalized meaning that well qualified Kenyans have been denied employment opportunities and even appointments in the public service. It is important to recognise that where qualified Kenyans have been given opportunities to perform, this country has continued to realise better performance and living. Look at the pride of Africa - Kenya Airways - where dynamic leadership provided by Mr. Naikuni has enabled them to continue buying new jets and the image of this country has been raised. Employment opportunities have continued to thrive. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, look at what has been happening in the lifeline of this country at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The leadership has continued to collect revenue, not forgetting that some western countries have of late not been very keen in funding our big projects and we have relied on our domestic income. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: I wish to recognise where competent leadership has been noted, like in the National Bank of Kenya. Mr. Marambii has done very well for the last 15 years and the bank is now giving out dividends. Look at what is happening at the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). It is expanding its branch network in the country as well as in South Sudan, Rwanda and other areas. Therefore, these parastatals have provided vetting and proper appointment in their key positions. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is also important to look at our education sector. Proper appointments have been made in schools that do well. For example, Alliance Girls High School and Precious Blood Riruta have continued to excel. Therefore, this Bill will bring very drastic and rapid reforms and make our country very enterprising. Therefore, it is important that well educated Kenyans be given an environment where they can compete. If they are given that environment, they will participate in this country as real patriots. The demonstrations that we have seen in certain areas where incompetent, aged and people who ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while commending the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government for this very broad statement on these collapsing building, I would urge him to indicate to this House when the Ministry is going to mount a serious inspection on the bending structures in Nairobi, and particularly in Kayole where you see a building occupied but it is structurally bending. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to very briefly contribute to this Motion. At the outset, let me say that it is important to recognize the contribution that was made earlier on in identifying some mathematical errors by Messrs Martin Ogindo and John Mbadi. These were critical errors and I urge the very hard working Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to make sure that the Treasury being the nerve centre of our nation---. He should make sure that those errors, be they computer errors or mathematical errors, are not repeated in future. ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me start by thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for his revelation on the embezzlement of funds in the Ministry of Education. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity also to contribute to the issue raised by hon. Mwau. The real threat to the hon. Member is being directed by unknown personalities. Could the Government, with immediate effect, enhance the personal security of the hon. Member? view
