• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Where do people get experience without promotion and we know sometimes in Kenya, promotion is not based on merit but on whom one knows? This is a culture that we really want to destroy. We need to put it clearly that we need somebody who can run the industry and maybe go the Botswana way where for every senior manager there is somebody who understands what he or she does. For every senior position there are two people, so that at any given time even a local person can take over and run the institution without any gaps being left ... view

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because it is good, but we need, as a country, at the outset, to look back and say we need to develop every part of Kenya. This will ensure that when these opportunities come up we are not held back and say we are not prepared in terms of skills and expertise to undertake those assignments. That is why wisdom demands and I dare say that we are all encouraged to prepare for an opportunity that never comes than to get one and we are not prepared. This is one such opportunity that God has given ... view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Is it in order for the Member of Parliament to mislead the House and say that “Kijana Wamalwa” is the Mover of the Motion? We all know that “Kijana Wamalwa” was one of the greatest sons of the country. He has passed on. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Member is misleading the House by saying that the Motion is being sponsored by “Hon. Kijana Wamalwa”, who is deceased. We will agree if he says that “Hon. Kijana Wamalwa” is posthumously sponsoring the Motion. We owe him a lot of respect and he was a great leader. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me the opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is a straight forward Bill and the recommendation makes a lot of sense. But we are only saying that we give the right people when that implementation comes to pass. Those people are like the youth who are the majority of the unemployed and are suffering from the challenges that we are trying to address through this Bill.
