• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion, which impacts on all of us. From the outset, I appreciate the effort made by hon. David Ochieng to ensure that this Motion comes before this House so that we can contribute to it and, hopefully, some day, make it a Bill so that we can address the concerns of our people. I do not want to repeat what has been said by my colleagues. But I must mention that we need to learn from the best practices. One of the best ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Kenya. Therefore, we need to encourage motorcyle sellers to be friendly because the higher the number of motorcyles that they will sell, the more profit they will make from the big numbers rather than make a lot of money from the sale of a single motorcyle and make it impossible for our unemployed youth to own motocycles – a source of employment and income.

Temporary Deputy Speaker, I must also mention, as the Member for Nyaribari Chache and Kisii Town - which is located in my constituency - that the motorcycle subsector has not been managed very well. There ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving that guidance. I am ably guided. But all I am saying is that it is only fair that when we have a chance such as the one we are having now, we direct our energies and efforts to address national issues which concern all or of us.

• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am guided accordingly. As I wind up on the policy on the operations of motorcycles, I am grateful to hon. David Ochieng for having come up with such a wonderful Motion that is addressing the affairs of the youth, where I believe I still belong. I know the challenges the youth are going through. In my constituency we have come up with a policy where we are starting a co- operative movement for the youth involving motorcycle riders which can enable them to borrow money and invest in that industry. That way, they ... view

We all appreciate that the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee has done a very wonderful job. They have done very good work in coming up with such a Bill. We appreciate that the Government cannot function without the money coming from us in form of taxes. But having said that, we have a duty, as Kenyans, to ensure that the money that is collected by the Government is used wisely. By so doing, then we will bring down the cost ... view

The other thing that the National Mining Corporation, in conjunction with the future market will do is: They will be able to manage the mining sector a lot more economically. Our people will then be able to have enough money that is required to develop the mining industry. view
