• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I ask Hon. Gatobu to second the Sessional Paper. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I take this opportunity to reply. First, I want to thank the Members for supporting this Sessional Paper. We have not had any Member speaking against this particular Sessional Paper. The issues that were raised by some of the Members, which include the issue of the productivity index of Kenya, are also worrying. The Ministry and other stakeholders will be able to look at this and ensure that we, at least, improve with the passage of the Policy Paper. The economy of this country also depends on the productivity ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts Sessional Paper No.4 of 2013 on the Employment Policy and Strategy for Kenya, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. This Sessional Paper No.4 of 2013 is on Employment Policy and Strategy for Kenya. I want to give a small background for Members to understand more about this particular policy. Aspirations of Vision 2030 are dependent on the ability of the country to create and nurture a competitive and adaptive human resource base. All the three pillars of ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: employment challenge is manifested in terms of 12.7 per cent of open unemployment rate, 21 per cent of under-employment, 46 per cent of working poor and 750,000 new entrants in the labour market. The rapid growing youth population or increased rapid youth population of 67 per cent of the adult population also indicates that the slow rate of job creation has put a lot of pressure on the labour market and there is an urgent need for intervention to address this pressure. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, promotion and full employment is a priority in a nation’s socio-economic policy. It enables ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: 1. A strong dynamic and responsive labour and employment sector is critical in catalysing and driving the transformation required for employment of Vision 2030. 2. The Constitution advocates for decent work in accordance with human rights conventions. However, high unemployment rate currently estimated at 12.7 per cent is a major challenge. 3. Employment creation interventions in the country have to be comprehensive, coordinated and robust enough to significantly contribute to the employment creation. 4. There is need for an integrated policy framework based on focus strategies and strong institutional and legal foundation which should be a mandate of an established ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank all the Members who have contributed to this policy document. I particularly thank Hon. Sakaja for the contribution that he has made because of the Bill he is pushing. Most of the things he is proposing in his Bill are basically covered here. He is going to be very instrumental in terms of helping the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare give some input on what is emerging in the policy document. I also thank the other Members who have clearly indicated that we have a lot of weaknesses in ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: All the speakers who spoke talked about the establishment and maintenance of labour market information system that can help all Kenyans ensure that, at least, we have proper information on job opportunities that are in this country. I beg to reply. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support Sessional Paper No.9 of 2013 on National Cohesion and Integration. If, for example, we do not pass this Paper, ethnicity and tribalism will bring down this country. That is why we need to support it. We do not have a proper policy to ensure that we have equal opportunities for everybody and there is proper resource allocation to the different parts of this country. This Sessional Paper will cure that problem. We have devolution and 47 counties, but what is emerging is that many of the counties are practicing the same things ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I went to a school in Nyandarua and I was able to learn a bit of Kikuyu. I am still proud of having learnt that language. This time the trend is different because students who are joining national schools from marginalised communities are not treated equally. We have children who are in Isiolo Girls or Isiolo Boys before they join Alliance High School. When it comes to university placement, they will not get opportunity. That is forcing students to go back to their respective areas so that they can have placement in courses that they want in different universities. That ... view
