• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Report, with a few reservations. The fact that there is a huge reduction of allocation to the State Department for University Education is a very unfortunate decision. I say this because universities have been experiencing financial challenges. Following a number of consultations, as the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, we made a number of recommendations. One of the recommendations was to ensure that universities are able to implement all stalled projects, including accommodation facilities, to be able to attract more students and raise some funds. The universities have ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this chance to thank Hon. Chepkut for this Petition. I consider this Petition a reminder of what we have to do as a nation and also as a House in terms of policy.

• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: There are structures of implementation in the Bill. We have got various permanent secretaries with their technical support teams. So, we should be able to eliminate those investors who have got a bad image globally. We need to avoid a situation where deals become an avenue for swindling resources from this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am happy that a contracting authority will be established. That authority will work independently, but also in consultation with the respective bodies where the projects will be implemented. What is important is that the authority will not have a reason to fail to ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to join the rest of the Members who have applauded the passing of this Bill. What impresses me most about the Bill is not only the fact that it is regulating the collections that we have previously experienced, but also the level of accountability that we are introducing into our systems of operation. I see an opportunity in this Bill for our young people who have excelled in computer science and ICT to help this country keep record and track the performance of individuals in society in many ways that have ... view
