• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: at some few provisions which I have just been looking at, so that we do not have a counter-productive effect in terms of stifling investment in the Jua Kali sector. view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. view
• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report and the Bill. For some of our counties, specifically where there has been mistrust between communities as a result of the new order that came into force, this Bill comes in very handy. The divide was such that we went into paralysis. A county like Marsabit has not been able to work. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very important to note that, in my view, the Tenth Parliament did not provide sufficient mechanism for a smooth interplay between the counties and the national Government. Those who had ... view

• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a little bit concerned about the queuing order because I am of the view that I have waited for too long. I have a feeling that some Members who logged in much later after I did got a chance to speak. I am not casting any aspersions on your work, but I am just raising a concern. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think this Bill needs to be supported. Its intent is good. The purpose that it intends to serve has been quite a problem. For example, it has just been contributed minutes ago that we have qualifications in accountancy that the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) does not recognise when they come from abroad and vice-versa. So, a chartered accountant from Kenya does not get a place across the borders because we also do not recognise foreign qualifications. Since there is no accreditation system, I think that is what contributes to ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my brother, Eng. Gumbo, said that some institutions have subordinate lecturers to the intended qualifications that the institution intends to give. For example, somebody from a village polytechnic will be lecturing at the university. I do not think that is the issue. The issue is that they are practicing closed shop. Engineering and other areas like law have long been known to ring-fence themselves so that others do not get an opportunity to qualify. That authority is likely to solve that kind of problem. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The University of Nairobi (UoN) gives a qualification in engineering that is not recognised by Moi University and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). I mean those are public universities. The Engineering Registration Board does not recognise this or the other qualification from public institutions. I think those are the things that we need to solve like yesterday. It is important to realise that 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
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: without that accreditation and standardisation body, then we will continue having problems in recognising our professionals whenever they qualify outside the country and when they also do it internally. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to contribute also to the part of the Bill that nominates institutions save for the fact that it says the Chairperson of the Association of Professions Society of East Africa. But the rest are Kenyans and they are professionals who are likely to contribute very well to the Authority. It is also noteworthy that employers’ representatives have also been appointed and I am also impressed that the workers bodies like Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) and the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) form part of the Authority and that will go a ... view
