• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you can see, this Motion has been directed to the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources. One of the problems that we have been having in dealing with the issue of climate change in Kenya is deciding which Ministry to direct our issues to. You can see the gist of this Motion touches on the transport sector and fuel and yet it is directed to the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources because it currently deals with climate change. I would like to point out that it is becoming a burden on the Ministry of ... view

• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for reluctantly giving me the opportunity to speak. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, then I must be almost invisible because I have been standing from the very beginning. But that be as it may, I really wanted to contribute to this Vote simply because I am a member of the Pan African Parliament and I have a lot of interest because we interact a lot as Members of PAP, with other members of Parliaments from other countries. It is important for me to state a few facts here. First, in terms of representation, Kenya as a country, in its role within East Africa and African Union, is recognized. ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will start by congratulating the Minister. As the House is aware, this is our youngest Minister in this Cabinet and he has been able to succeed where many had failed, by the realization of this East African Common Market ratification. Therefore, I want to congratulate him, his Assistant Minister and his officers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the integration of the East African Community, I would like the Minister to be aware that the success of the integration of the East African Community is being looked upon in ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to support the Report. I was a Member of this Committee that went round this country taking the views of Kenyans and trying to understand why unlawful groupings have become such a big phenomenon in our country. I would like to say what many of the people we spoke to asked us questions. They said that we had taken their views, heard what they had said and they had also admitted that they were members of unlawful groups. They asked us what we will do about ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe that it is only one unlawful grouping that is over-publicized, and that is Mungiki which exists in the country. We noted that there are very many groupings. For example, in Kisii there is the Sungu Sungu and others. In Mt. Elgon there are is the Sabaot Land Defence Force (SLDF). We realized that these groupings are organized and effective, positively and negatively in their communities. The sole reason why they exist is that young people are left to be idle and restless. Therefore, they have to engage in something and unfortunately, it is to ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: My take would be that as we lay this on the Floor of the House today, the relevant Ministries headed by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports would pick up this Report, not just as a report of this House, but as one of their tools as they go round trying to find out what they can do for the young people of this country. We have mentioned the Youth Enterprise Development Fund which we have given a lot of praise but is not yet addressing this issue. Why? This Report will show you where the gap is so ... view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: as if it is just a monster and not a creation of our own inadequacies. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this Motion we want to see action from that side of the Government. I believe that we are working on the same thing, that is, uplifting the status of the young people of this country. view
