• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: in the context and circumstances, to balance policy decisions. But there is a clear way given the impact and repercussions of those decisions. Since today is also the international day of peace, allow me to indicate that this is a wake- up call to ensure that we speak for all the citizenry. However, it is a bit disheartening that even on the day of peace, we sometimes seek to bring divisions among us and not rise up to take responsibility to help us make decisions. Therefore, as I support the Petition, I am glad that we can get the Departmental ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the debate on Sessional Paper No.4 on co-operatives. I support this Sessional Paper because it is clearly based on the best practices and there is evidence that the co-operative movement’s growth and organisation is in line as we can see from the Report of the Committee. This is a key factor in not only addressing and enhancing socio-economic development, but also in helping us make progress from the kind spirit and direction we had in Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 on African Societies and its application to planning ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: When we speak of the co-operative movement, we are truly speaking of how it is. As we all know, even with regard to our fingers, there is no way the thumb, no matter how big it is, it can lift a glass or make a desired result. The sum total of what we can do when we pull together far outweighs what would be done by any individual, be it in agriculture or trade, as reflected by women groups and organised categories that never had economic power or voice. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I support this Sessional Paper because it allows us room to concretise and provide a framework. It will enable us create a common agenda of those who are like-minded and would like to contribute to the economy. Also, it helps us with the re-alignment of county governments and the national Government. This will ensure county governments, because their purpose was to be closer to the people, to translate what in the past would be merry-go rounds that would be seen for entertainment and Christmas into what can be economically viable. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I hope we can see clearly from this Sessional Paper that as legislators we need to rise to the challenge of looking at how we can take figures and begin to build on how to appreciate the successes and outputs that have come so far. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Sessional Paper and hope as we continue to debate, we will look into the interest of pulling together interest groups and not necessarily our own interests. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Petition before this House is one of the most genuine petitions I have seen because it is bordering on the intellectual rights of these students who have undertaken a course that is not accredited. The Committee then should prioritise and give due treatment to this Petition. Universities offering engineering courses that are not accredited should be checked. Finally, there is need to control “massification” and commercialisation in our universities and ensure that the quality frameworks are working in the best interests of the country and the intellectual rights of students are also protected. Maybe, these ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: compensation and are taken to Multimedia University (MMU) to conclude their courses as soon as possible. I thank you. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Omuse for coming up with this critical matter. Stopping the registration of schools is an ill-informed decision by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Looking at the congestion in schools, they are congested due to enrolment of as high as 2,000 learners. It has reached a time when we must define what a school is in terms of enrolment. A school with 2,000 learners ceases to be a school. Therefore, over- enrolling schools and refusing or stopping creation of new ones is creating a mess. This House The electronic version of ... view
