• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Industrial training contributes to effective human resource development for employment and wealth creation. It is important that adequate and appropriate training infrastructure and equipment be put in place. The sector will bring about economical growth and decent employment. This is something that this Bill is trying to address. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Authority will be able to empower the youth and facilitate skilled development which is current, relevant and important to the growth of this country. It is important because it empowers individuals to develop their learning pathways and recognise various types of learning at various stages. The guidance that ... view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: After a long deliberation between the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development, we agreed on further amendments that we would like to move at a later stage. We looked at the Bill and realized that there are gaps that exist in the amendments themselves. One of the gaps that exist in the amendments is that we did not consider our Constitution the way it is. We did not look at the devolved systems that we have given ourselves. We also did not look at our counties. We propose to establish ... view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also have Kisumu Industrial Training Centre which is doing well and it has 15 acres.

I is going to transform industrial training in our country. view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important sector in our society; but it has been under-funded for many years since people neglected it. We always cry here and say that our youth do not have anything. We look at things which are not very innovative like Kazi Kwa Vijana (KKV), and we say let our youth go and sweep, cut trees and dig trenches all over, while we know that if we give them an opportunity like this one, the capacity and resources needed, they will be able to transform our country. We will then have a ... view

• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to also support the formation of this Committee, and urge this House that the recommendations that are going to be made by the Committee should be taken very seriously. I say so because previously, there have been so many recommendations that came to this House, which were supposed to benefit innocent and vulnerable Kenyans, but this House slept on those recommendations. So, I have requested this one minute to just say that the report of the Committee we are forming must be taken very seriously, because the problem we have now is affecting the ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to support the Motion. I came from Ethiopia with fellow hon. Members of this House. We went there to join an IGAD forum in a peace and security meeting, and His Excellency the Prime Minister of Ethiopia opened that forum. The delegates to that forum were very particular about respect for all the neighbours. view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I contributed in front of the forum on the Constitution that we have promulgated. The Bill of Rights respects service delivery and resources allocation. Those are some of the things that I thought will be very important and key in maintaining security and peace within our borders and with our neighbours. It is unfortunate that we are discussing this. I come from a region that has suffered so much. When I saw the issues in Turkana, it caused me a lot of pain because I am a pastoralist and I have gone through a lot ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Kenya is a member of the United Nations, which has made several resolutions, among them the United Nations Security Resolution 1325 that gives mandate to every Government to develop an action plan on how to carry out issues of security and peace. This should involve women, children and the youth in trying to address issues of violence. Because of that, we want this nation, particularly the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to be keen in issues of our security. We have lost many people. This is a serious matter that we are discussing. We, as a ... view
