• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I will give an example that will make it really difficult for foreign and local companies to compete. If we allow foreign companies to come and compete with local companies it will be disastrous. You will find a company coming from China or the USA where it can go to a bank and borrow a loan at 3 per cent interest rate competing with other companies locally which have to go to a bank and borrow a loan at 18 per cent interest rate. This is the case and yet these companies have to repay the money that they had ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: foreign company to be allowed to work in this country, at least, 50 per cent or a certain percentage of the shareholders of that company live in Kenya and are Kenyans so that as the money goes back to other countries, we also get some. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the companies that I am talking about are not local. When I say “local”, it does not mean Nairobi local. I am talking about the Kenyan companies that are run and owned by Kenyans. They do not have an option of going to the USA or China to borrow money from the Chinese banks and come to do business in Kenya. That is what I am talking about. I am not talking about the local Nairobi or other places. My issue is that we need to protect those companies otherwise we will be having companies from ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Sessional Paper and raise my contribution not only as a member of the Committee, but also a Member of Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. I think I am in agreement with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) on this policy, that this country needs to streamline and make sure we have policies and guidelines that will enable many trainees The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to say that we need to be very cognizant of the fact that we cannot use gender to get away with everything. I was talking of attachments to our people. As I was going round in my area of jurisdiction, that is Cherangany, recently I came to learn that we need to do something in this country. Employers, industries and the people that those on attachment work for are not doing what they are supposed to do. As you go around the world and especially in the developed countries, things are different. As ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Once somebody goes for attachment, they have to be paid. That does not happen in this country. I have been looking at this policy paper and I do not see anywhere where the CS proposes to introduce or hope to find a solution or a way of making sure that our young men who have graduated or are in the process and working like everybody else are paid. If you look at the hotel industry, when you sit to be served, you will be served by a college or university student who does the same job as somebody who has ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: the amount or some percentage. That person needs to eat, pay transport, pay rent and still pay school fees. We need to find a solution for that. For that, I support this Motion. We need to put our minds together to find a way of helping those on attachment to live comfortably. They should not be used by business people to make money and yet, they are not paying them. Thank you. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. When I look at the Jubilee Manifesto, it really focuses on the family. One of the things that it said was that the family will be the cornerstone of the society. That is very factual everywhere in the world. Without a strong family foundation, there is no strong society. Without a strong society, there is no strong nation. We have to ensure that our families are strong. The way to do that is through marriage. There is no family without marriage, otherwise, it will be ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Government has made it very difficult for the young men to get marriage certificates. We need to do everything possible to make it as simple as possible so that when it is time for people to get married, they can get the marriage certificates. That way, we can have strong families that stand, stay and do their things together. Another issue that is of concern to me is the fact that we, as the Government or the leaders in this country, are not working hard to make sure that we bring our families together. For example, when you look at ... view
