• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the onset, I would like to appreciate Hon. Cecilia Ngetich for bringing up this Bill. It is long overdue. Technicians and technologists in this country have been working without a body to regulate their activities. This Bill will give us a body that will regulate the operations of the technicians and technologists, so that we can know their number in the country and their qualifications. We can also hold them responsible in case of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: safety problems like the ones we experience in Kenya when houses collapse in urban areas. When this happens, nobody takes responsibility. With a body like this, we are able to hold the technologists and the technicians responsible for such occurrences. Engineers should not fear this Authority. We are not interfering with their work in terms of design. They design and the technologists and technicians implement the designs. The technologists and technicians who are trained should be certified, so that they can participate in the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), so that when the Chinese leave the country, they ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to appeal to this authority when it is established to have apprenticeship skills recognised and certified, so that the many Kenyans who have done those courses even outside college can be--- view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to say one or two things about sports. I recognize that sports are a very important activity for Kenya and also for the counties. Respective counties nurture sportsmen and women differently. There are those who perform athletics while others play football and other games. So, we have different counties nurturing different types of sportsmen and women. We should accord them the opportunity to do them properly. We are proud as Kenyans when we see our people excelling in the field when they are doing their sporting activities. ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: and the county governments; the county governments being the preparation areas while the national Government takes the responsibility of recognizing and even celebrating the heroes and heroines that we have in Kenya. If we can do that, it means that we can have some money coming into the country through those activities. We can also earn some money at the county level. So we want each of the levels to occupy the specific areas and play their roles well. When we talk about Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kenya these days, we are talking about people who have been displaced ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to this Bill. I want to support it from the start. This Bill has come at the right time when we have realised that more women are nominated than elected in our counties. Those who are nominated are normally locked out of business in the assemblies. I 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
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: come from Elgeyo Marakwet where we have 10 nominated women MCAs and two elected. The only active ones at the time are the two elected. The 10 MCAs are left silent because they were not assigned any responsibility as chairpersons or vice-chairpersons. This amendment is coming at the right time when we are preparing for the 2017 General Election and we would not like to see a repeat of what is happening currently. We would like to have our women participate in the first meeting of the county assembly when elections for various chairpersons are conducted. I rise to support ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. It is timely. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have always known our informal security persons to take care of our property and very important premises in our country yet we do not have a regulator to check whether they are qualified to do what they are assigned to do, and whether they are qualified to understand the importance of the role they are playing. The proposed Private Security Service Authority will take care of the welfare of security personnel who are recruited. It will take care of their welfare like provision of uniforms, wages and their working conditions in general including their medical subscriptions ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I compare the security industry with the matatu or transport industry where they have an association where they control and coordinate all activities of the industry. I know the Authority will serve that purpose once it is established. I do not support the fact that we need to equip them with firearms because firearms are very dangerous equipment which can really cause havoc in the community. We need to regulate that so that we know who we are entrusting the firearms with. Hon. Angwenyi compared the security guards that we are talking about to the militia groups like Mungiki, Chinkororo ... view
