Dullo Fatuma Adan

Sen. Dullo Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to support this Motion and I believe it is really important for some of us who come from the areas where police reservists are supplementing the police work. They are really doing a good job. First, Madam Temporary Speaker, the way...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Secondly, I would like to congratulate Sen. Lesuuda; this is a very important Motion. I think it is important that we should not take it lightly. The point that I really want to raise in support of...

Sen. Adan I am sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We need to look at the infrastructure in those areas because they are in a really pathetic condition. Coming from pastoral areas, I know that livestock are owned by men; women and youth do not own livestock. We are just managing...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. First, I would like to thank Sen. Haji for bringing this Motion because year in, year out, we always have floods causing havoc in those parts of the country. It is really important for the county governments and...

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion on the following points. First and foremost, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Mover, Sen. (Dr.) Kuti. This is the reason why I feel that we have really lost so much with regard to our...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support the Motion. I believe the speakers before me have mentioned several issues that affect the pastoralist communities. But I would like to contribute by saying that although we have legislation and policies, over the years, the pastoral...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second the amendment. A lot has been said, but I think we need to look at the legislations that deal with licensing of alcohol. We should introduce heavy penalties for drug barons and those who are found...

Sen. Adan

Sen. Adanit is run, for example, like other funds in Small and Medium Term Enterprises (SMEs) using a Gramin effect, where you need to come up with a group; that is why, for example, in the literature of SMEs, women have had problems with those funds; not because those funds...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The long term development strategy that led to Vision 2030 was very critical in establishing the YEDF. Catherine’s Motion is very different. She is proposing for a Graduates Enterprise Fund. The range of youth is very, very amorphous and one fund does not necessarily negate...

sorts of funds. I think that this fund is very specific and would support it purely to be on its own rather than mix it with any other fund.Madam Temporary Speaker, if this problem of unemployment is not addressed now, it is going to create a lot of problems. Of...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator in order to say that the Youth Enterprise Development Fund has not worked, when, in fact, she knows when it was started and there is statistics of how many have benefitted; given the magnitude of the problem and how...

While that is a valid point of order, this is a Motion and she is giving her views. You are free to come to the Floor of the House when given the chance, to refute every claim that she has raised on the matter.

That notwithstanding, please, do not misquote me. I did not say that the Youth Enterprise Development Fund has not been useful or attained its goals. It has but with many problems, otherwise, we would not have so many youth who are still unemployed. That means that we need to go...

I realize the interest that this Motion is generating. Everybody wants to speak to this Motion, but I think that it is in our collective interest to hear from one who has held that docket of the Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to congratulate the effort made by the Mover. But I would like also to contribute not just as a former Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, but share my thoughts about how I am observing the trend that the Senate is taking....

specific in their nature and are in piecemeal, while the problems facing us are of major magnitude. I agree fully that youth unemployment is a time-bomb. You cannot kill an elephant with a rungu or pistol. You have to apply the same opposite force to be able to overcome the...

and we need to think broadly. Therefore, as a Senate, we need to discuss this issue in such a way that what kind of Motion or Bill should come here that has a revolutionary impact and not a piecemeal impact.Madam Temporary Speaker, these populist Motions should stop. They are always...

While you have exhausted your time, please use your parliamentary language.

Madam Temporary Speaker, first of all, I would like to congratulate the Mover of this Motion and I believe her Motion is not cheap as it has just been described because it has given us an opportunity to say what most of us have said. I do not think there...

that we have that figure. We have never had the correct figure in this country. We cannot say exactly how things are. Seventy per cent is a very huge number. We should look at this problem differently. You can provide the youth with a lot of money and also give...

Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand here, first, to seek clarification from the Mover as to the use of the term Graduate which often appears in an initial capital “G.” I wonder whether the word “Graduate” stands for someone from the university, someone who has left Form Four, one...

On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Karaba, do you want to be informed?

Yes, I want to be informed.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to inform my colleague, that indeed, the people being referred to as “Graduates” are college graduates. This is quite clear from the Motion. June 19, 2013 SENATE DEBATES

Madam Temporary Speaker, from the definition given, we still have college graduates from teaching colleges who may not get teaching jobs after graduating. We also have the graduates themselves like I was one time although I got a job. The difference here is in the use of the terminology although...

very important more than university education. They respect polytechnics more than universities. If our youth were exposed to technical education, we would have more people saving others from unemployment.As others have said, agriculture is the key industry in our country. We need to base our industries on agriculture. Agro-based industries...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in thanking our colleague, Sen. Catherine Mukite, for bringing this Motion, which has elicited a lot of response and debate. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I stand here remembering the Grand Coalition Government, I was the first Permanent Secretary...

they said yes. They took me to the library and I found a whole shelf full of documents, plus the drawing of the only fertilizer plant that was supposed to have been done – and I think it was done on paperwork in 1983; we do not have fertilizers. As...

Mover of the Motion, our colleague, Sen. Catherine Mukite, and then come up with a document from which legislation can even arise. I think we now have new people in the Ministries, including the architect of the ESP, other than the President now, is this lady who is the new...

Sen. Adan):Kibra do not have title deeds. They stay on land which is worth over Kshs6 billion. If they get title deeds, they will access credit using the title deeds. This will empower them. It will make them have a lot of confidence in this Government.The other issue is about...
