• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: cent of our population, which is a large proportion. Young people deserve to be considered for these awards for us to be seen to be fair to all ages. I can see it is supposed to be between the ages of 14 and 24 years. That is important because it is the formative stage of the young people into mature persons. So, it is very important that we recognise them from an early age. The future of any nation depends on her young people. It depends on how the society brings the young people up. If we can start appreciating ... view
• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: . Most of the mature people we have may have gone astray in life not because of their own making, but because they were not guided properly when they were young age like what we are talking about. If we invest in our young people, we shall be investing in the future. Just like I have said, young people form a large proportion of our population. Again, it is at this stage that we can identify their talents. Some have talents which can be developed early enough and they can be useful. When we talk about formal employment and self-employment ... view

• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Members have gone through some grueling nomination process. It is a very queer timing where you go for nominations and then come back to the House. We used to go for nominations and proceed to prepare for the general elections. I congratulate those who won and encourage those who did not win to support those who won. I thank the people of Vihiga County for nominating me to be their Amani National Congress (ANC) Party candidate for the gubernatorial seat in Vihiga. There is a big problem about pricing. We repeatedly ... view
• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: ? I think this is not well thought out. 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
• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Finance and the Office of the President (OP) used to have professionals who used to advise Government and not the other way round. Leaders should not talk about what they do not know but what they have been told by technocrats and not creating their own things.

You may not be agriculturalist but then you are appointed a Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Agriculture. I think the experts ... view
• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: Another thing which this Parliament will have to do is to find a way of ensuring that when some of these issues are detected, action is taken. Once governors are called to appear before the Senate, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is supposed to take action but he does not. Therefore, everybody feels that corruption is a good thing. Even small children now know what is happening. How shall we control corruption if we cannot control it from here? The laws we pass in this House are good but their enforcement by the people we have authorized to enforce ... view
• 9 May 2017 in National Assembly: Lastly, the cartels we have talked about for many years here are still there in areas like the oil industry and others. These are the kinds of things which the Government should implement in order to mininise corruption. When people collude, they quote high prices of items. This is what increases the price of commodities and it should be checked. With those few remarks, I support. view
