• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The Bill is fairly timely. When you look at it at face value, it seems not to do much but, when you read through it, you will appreciate that there is quite a lot especially what has been highlighted by the Chair of the Committee. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Retirement is basically meant to leave space for other people. When people retire, there is expectation that other people will be recruited. A lot of times, the youth believe that the opportunity is created for them. Unfortunately, it is not always the case. Many times, people retire from office and the people who replace them are just a few years younger. So, it does not necessarily follow that when one retires, the work goes to the youth. I see the intention here is to try and create opportunities for the youth. The youth have been told from time immemorial that ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: doing that were empowered by being taught, trained, enlightened and given things of substantial value that could push their lives forward. So, it is important that we try to support our youth by finding appropriate avenues for them. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: They are proposing that the retirement age of 60 years should be made compulsory and any extension of time almost punishable. I agree with the Chair that sometimes you cannot put all cadres of employment together. There could be situations or reasons or circumstances that could lead to some extension. So, it is important that we address that aspect. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I also support the proposal to encourage succession planning that is in the proposed Bill. Many times when people leave office, it is like we are disorganised. It is as if we do not know who is going to take over and how soon. That is why we find people operating in acting capacity for so long. The Chief Executive Officer of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) worked in an acting capacity for years and yet, he had all the qualifications that are required to have taken up that office almost immediately. It is important that we encourage ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. 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
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: First, I want to thank God for touching the hearts of those Senators so that the circus that they have treated this country for a very long time has finally come to an end. In fact, the Bible talks about the story of Saul who went and got a flash of light and then he suddenly became Paul. I think that is what happened to them. There are some very basic areas of disagreements that the Senators had when they were discussing this formula. Apparently, as my leader has ably put it, they really did not look at the criteria ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Senate must force a change so that we end up doing mediation? I think it is important that the two Houses respect each other. We have seen the mistakes that they have made, but we are respecting them and we will pass it the way it is. In future, let them also respect this House. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Energy the following Question: (i) When will the Ministry address the dangers posed by the main electricity power line passing through Kaiani Secondary School in Kathiani Constituency, which is endangering the lives of learners, teachers, staff and parents and further hindering infrastructure development in the school? (ii) Could the Ministry consider re-routing the power lines away from the school? view
