• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: and coffee farmers have also benefited. Even though they are also experiencing great problems in repaying debts which were incurred in building the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) factories, tea farmers have never benefited from the national Government through write-offs. They also require to be assisted by doing some write-offs. Those ones are not captured here. I would have wished that specific levies which are being removed as promised by the President be well captured in this Finance Bill. Unfortunately, that is missing. So, we need to move amendments at the right time to include the tea levies that have ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to make my contribution. I have waited for it patiently from 2.30 p.m. up to now. I am grateful I have been given the chance to oppose this Bill. Under the current spirit prevailing in this country, this Bill is quite premature. We have formed a Joint Select Committee composed of members from the National Assembly and the Senate on issues of electoral reforms. It could be worthwhile to combine all this under that Committee so that we could deal with it. I know the issues of the IEBC. I do ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: transfer part of that money to where it is needed critically, especially in the education sector where we have shortage of teachers and we need to recruit more teachers to deal with problem of shortage. For that to happen, we need to reduce the commissioners we have. What is the need of having all those people idling, sitting and doing secretariat work when they could be dealing with policies and such issues? There is this bit which is dealing with part time employment. This will also be captured when we finally deal with the proper law which addresses the issue ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to also add my voice on this. At the outset, I want to state clearly that I support this Motion. Going through these nominees--- view

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know there is this big issue of the face of Kenya but we cannot look at the Privatisation Commission alone without considering the other Commissions. In order to balance all of them, we need to look at the whole structure of public service. Otherwise, if we simply see certain names here and associate them with a certain side of this country, we may not get it correct. I remember some people may not associate Mr. John Joseph Tito with the Maasai Community but he comes from Kajiado and I believe that area is duly taken ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: not deny her the chance to be here. She explained the big role which she plays in charity work. If you have a person who is able to commit about Kshs500,000 to charity work and pay school fees for kids in her village, that is the right person who needs to be considered in the public sector because her qualities are very rare to get in the public sector. We have a person by the name Mohamed, who is persistent in whatever he does. He comes from a very humble background academically. He scored a C plus but he studied ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for notifying me about my qualities. He did it very well. So, these are the kind of people we need. I was also very happy to have Zipporah Mukoruru from Meru. She is a career teacher who has also been able to further her studies to acquire a Masters Degree in Procurement and Logistics. This is the right mind in the privatisation sector. In fact, the person who I considered as the best qualification in the issues of privatisation was none other than this lady, Zipporah. So, I believe we have the right calibre of people ... view
