• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Last year, I was one of the champions during the parliamentary sports in Rwanda. I ran and brought three medals; two bronzes and one silver. I know what it takes to prepare for a sporting activity. By 5.00 a.m., I was in the field practising. We need fair treatment for our athletes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view

• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy to support this Bill. It has come at the right time. We all know that the public service is the backbone of a government. If we have the wrong public service, it means we have the poor delivery of service by the government. We need to start from the beginning. We should use advertisements to attract qualified personnel to apply for available positions. The qualifications in the advertisement 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
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: should be indicated very clearly for each of the positions, so that we can attract qualified people. There have been issues with the number of years of experience in the advertisement. Sometimes, we have problems with our young people. They would like to join employment service but, because of lack of experience, they get into problems. When employing, we should consider young men and women who have served on attachment or internship to contribute to years of service. We also need to look at salary scales and progression, so that one does not become dissatisfied after serving for some time. ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The Public Service Board (PSB) should play an active role in making sure that appointments are made according to the specified criteria. We do not want problems of over- employment by recruiting many people and duplication in departments or cases whereby the governor has an upper hand in recruiting people, sometimes without even considering the role of PSB. view

• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to support the Seeds and Plant Varieties (Amendment) Bill, 2015. I also support the centre that will be mandated to deal with all types of seeds and indigenous plants. At the beginning of this Century before the colonialists came to Kenya, Kenyans knew how to live in their environment. They had seeds which dispersed themselves and grew wildly and some were planted around homes. We also had roots for food, especially during famine in arid and semi-arid lands. We also had types of indigenous vegetables and fruits; like the gooseberries ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Every community in Kenya, Africa and the world has an environment that people can adapt to if it is protected. Our indigenous knowledge is very rich and we need to protect it. We need to have foods that can build our bodies. We are now experiencing obesity in children, women and men. It causes a lot of health problems. We now have cancer and we are yet to know whether it is caused by the types of food that we eat now. We have diabetes which is a lifestyle disease. We need to know how to counter it using indigenous ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: spend a lot of money on fertiliser and seeds. The harvest is about nine bags per acre of maize compared to other maize growing areas where they produce up to 40 bags per acre. So, we need to look at some of those conditions. We are using Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) foods and that will come with some of problems that will give Kenyans unhealthy lifestyles. If we have indigenous fruits and foods, they will take the place of GMOs. We need to protect the intellectual property rights at the center. We have to registrar and protect the seeds, knowledge ... view
