• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for example, the Co-operative bank here, every parent who has been going to that bank must belong there in order to get money. So, if we can address the issue of facilitation such that we have adequate funding somewhere where the youth can access funds, it can be good. Then again the issue of conditions is something that needs to be addressed in order for them to operate. Otherwise, the law will be there favouring them but they will not be able to operate. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there were efforts which were made to devolve a number of projects even before the new Constitution. For example, we have got Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) which has worked very well.

• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: concerned that we have, at least, some law or amendment that is going to make it possible for the youth to be able to participate. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of training is also another problem. I support the idea of us having youth polytechnics all over the country. Although it is a devolved function with the governors--- I can see a number of them are spending a lot of time taking care of themselves, travelling and incurring all these expenditures. If we can have a way of reviving youth polytechnics so that they can accommodate particularly those who were not able to continue with their studies, it can be good. They can join youth polytechnics and then the Government can establish colleges for ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, jobs like supervision of road construction and water projects require technical skills. You do not need to have papers like Doctor of Philosophy and so on. You only need to have basic knowledge on what should be done. Therefore, training is going to be a very important element of this scheme. I think if all those factors are taken into consideration and we are sincere, we provide an enabling environment and not make political utterances, the youth should get 30 per cent and more can be done as they mature. view

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also want to support this Procedural Motion. I agree that Standing Orders assist Members in terms of benchmarking and giving guidelines on how they should be able to conduct the business of this Houese. They also make matters easier for us, as a guide on how we should operate. However, there may be a little problem, which hon. Linturi had raised. On the issue of this Chamber and the premises of Parliament, it is crazy that some hon. Members litter this Chamber. When I came to sit here, I find chewing gum. Some hon. Members chew ... view

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in fact, you have said exactly what I would have said. I want to find out how this can be enforced as it is a good practice. We shall cut out people who are not able to take responsibility for their actions. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources for the Statement given. But I want to say that I raised this matter out of the concern that was expressed by some of the people working in KFS. Some of them were not willing to give their identity for obvious reasons. But there is some kind of cover up. I am told there were promotions for the lower cadre, and those who were to be promoted were paying about Kshs50,000 for the low cadre and Kshs100,000 to Kshs150,000 for ... view
