• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: opportunity. There are many issues because when we talk about integration there should be free movement of labour and skills. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Countries stand to gain when we open our borders to expertise. As I wind up, allow me to give an example of a very important policy that was done by the USA back then called Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) which encouraged immigrants from other countries to migrate to the USA and especially those who were gifted in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Silicon Valley as we know it is a brain child and product of STEM. This came about because the headquarters of STEM was around San Francisco and Stanford is also around there. The combination of those ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I can give many other examples, most of the behemoths and big conglomerates even in the USA were created by foreigners. I am talking about free movement of labour. When we talk about a bank like Goldman Sachs and even groups that bear American names like American International Group (AIG), these were founded by foreigners yet, they mostly benefit the Americans. Currently without going back to those who were there before, there is our African son called Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors, PayPal Holdings and many other companies. When you talk about Twitter itself, people like Kalanick were ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Coming back home, I do not think Safaricom would be the current biggest earner in this nation giving Kenya the tax bag to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) of over Kshs40 million per annum, were it not for the expertise of Michael Joseph. I am just encouraging Members, even as we debate this Motion, that we need to embrace and challenge our partner states to embrace free movement of skills and they stop worrying about Kenyans being more qualified. If we go there and run their country better, it is not Kenya that benefits. It is them. For example, if ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am actually winding up and I stand guided. I hope you will be among the first tourists to Mars as it is being done by Elon Musk. This is my last point. Integration makes sense when we benefit as a nation especially when it comes to trade. I want to mourn the current situation. As you have rightly put it, Kenya has been the big brother of the region. It has been the big brother because our GDP is much higher and our abilities and efficiencies are much more streamlined. I want to ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Kenya when it comes to our trade. As I speak now, our brothers whom we love so much, that is, our neighbours here Uganda currently enjoy a positive balance of trade. When it comes to Kenya, I challenge our policy makers that we need to put our act together. There is no way we can have a port that actually handles over 82 per cent of all the commodities that go to Uganda and then we are here being overtaken like people who do not know where they are going. I also challenge this House that we continue making policies ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to move. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this chance to thank the Members, starting with the Seconder, Hon. Dr. Ochanda who is a Member of the Committee. I also want to thank Members who belong to the Committee and other Members who are not in this Committee for their great contributions. We have also learnt big time and I am sure we are more sharpened as the membership of this Committee on how to move forward. What we need to note is a point you brought forward. Even as you talk about challenges of integration, ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Even as I wind up because I have listened to so many Members, we are in a generation where previously we have been told about free trade, free markets and big economies, which are a creation of those two. Clearly it is true that the USA, UK and other big countries especially the western countries came from feudalism generated from mercantilist economies and then they became competitive market. I am sure that is how they grew. But the challenges were wider. The 21st Century fastest growing economy in the world is China. China is not liberal. Therefore, it is an ... view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute. As a new Member of Parliament, I feel very misrepresented by the utterances that were made by the Leader of the Majority Party. As we debate this matter, we are just rotating around very minute issues as far as percentage is concerned. The Leader of the Majority Party talked about the Parliamentary Service Commission budget, mileage and house allowances. I never vied to be the Member for Kiharu to come here so that I get mileage allowance, emoluments and exceeded allowances. view
