The absorption rate by counties has been given and for a place like Taita Taveta it is 70 per cent. There is a list of the absorption rate by counties which has been done by the Kenya Economic Report (KER) forum. All I want to 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
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: inform this House is that these problems have already been stated in the Report and what we need to tackle are things like the Bills which have not been enacted by most counties. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Narok County, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, there is ongoing construction of the Standard Gauge Railway Project in Narok, along the Duka Moja Trading Centre site and at the Narok-Mai Mahiu Road; THAT, there is an influx of workers from China to do manual jobs, which jobs are supposed to be undertaken by the local communities; THAT, China Road and Bridge Corporation has been awarding employment opportunities to foreigners and locking out locals, thereby denying locals employment opportunities; THAT, there have been ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I cannot emphasise adequately the importance of amending this clause. The Committee needs to be given five brown stars for bringing this amendment for it to read “90 days”. If you remember, sometimes ago I had a petition from a citizen in this country.

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I would like to oppose the dropping of item 10 because of reasons that have been said before. If Kshs400 million is what the Government has put aside to deliver sanitary pads to our girls and on the other side there are very many philanthropic organisations that spend a lot of money to get sanitary pads to those children, I think it would be a shame if we do not do this. The other thing is that at the moment we get sanitary pads through the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) ... view
