• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Even as we approve this gentleman, it is very important, even myself as a youthful MP, to point out that currently in the constitution of the Government, there is no Cabinet Secretary who qualifies to be a young person by the definition of the UN. There is no single PS who falls in the bracket of a young person. Looking historically, we have had the former President of this country, Mwai Kibaki, who served as a very senior Government official as a Finance Minister at the age of 38. I urge all of us as Members of Parliament that it ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: It is a paradox that I am rising here to support this gentleman yet I know there are so many young people who can serve in the same department. But because I have read his qualifications, I believe his input will go a long way into pulling the youth of this country from the abyss we are in and bring us up to a level where we can be noticed even by the Executive to be given positions to serve within our own mandate. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support and I hope we take consideration to the remarks that the youth and the young people of this country can serve in their own departments and beyond because they have done so in the past. They can do so now and they can do so in the future. Thank you. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to agree with the colleagues who have spoken before me. Ever since I came to this House, I have never seen a matter so frivolous and shallow as the one brought by the Member for Kisumu Central. I am sure the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has many more businesses to handle. For example, I have several matters pending before the committee. Adding it more work that makes no sense will be robbing them the many hours that they need to execute serious business. Also, on a light note, it ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I stand guided, Hon. Speaker. As has been well put, it is not the work of this House to interpret the Constitution. Therefore, I seek your indulgence to advise the Member to go to the Judiciary so that we can get a proper interpretation. We will not allow this House to be used by people who are in the payroll of other presidential candidates to try and eliminate serious candidates in this race. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If you allow me, I can give my comments in so far as the amendments are concerned and also the main object. At the outset, I rise to oppose those amendments proposed by the Member for Tiaty because even as we come here to say the issues of declaring interest, we have to be serious in this matter of fighting… This is because there is some form of corruption; that you can have the person who is charged with conserving our forests and forest cover being the same person doing the opposite ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Kiharu. If I give directives to the NG-CDF, they are likely to follow my directives to the letter even when I declare interest. Therefore, we need to have a very clear line even as we debate this matter of conflict of interest and also of declaring interest and in this case Mr. Kinyua blatantly went overboard. Also, I have to say that in environment – because we are talking about our forests even in the amendment – we depend entirely on our forests basically on everything. This is because the better part of our environment and which actually helps and ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for this chance to contribute to this Motion. At the outset, I support. Land is a very important resource and factor of production. As you know, and as it has been said before, land is a very important resource and factor of production, when talking about everything we do as a country. Whether we talk about economic development or social justice, in all areas land is vital. I am sure I do not have much time and I will go directly to my points. I have read what this Bill seeks to achieve. One, from the ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Land is very different in every other corner of this country. Therefore, market prices ought to be the best, but of course, this has failed because of the nature of people and especially business people. I will make a few comments regarding Committee Report and the Bill. Currently, looking at the projects we have from the Standard Gauge Railway to our roads in the constituencies, pricing of land has been arbitrary. Land next to each other can cost double without any utility or advantage on the highly valued land. I am sure this pricing index and the Bill will come ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I have looked at the compensation. To depart from the many arguments I have heard from my colleagues, I hail the Committee for coming up with different ways on how the Government will compensate land that is taken compulsorily. Currently in Kenya, we all know it is speculators galore. If the people who sell land have a hint that possibly a road or dam will be built somewhere, they go and buy land to speculate and milk money from the Government. The issue of allocating alternative land instead of money is very timely. It will lessen the speculative nature which ... view
