The Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE), the COTU, the other unions that work for workers, the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU), the Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied Worker (KUDEIHA) and the others should be aware of this provision. Employers should know it is simple. If you are being paid way above Kshs1,000 per hour, I do not know why it is hard for the employer to pay. If there was a worker now, it is 47 minutes after 5 p.m. If they were paid within hours, I do not know why you do not want to pay in a remote manner. If I am working from the house, it is the same as working from the office. COVID-19 taught us that you can work effectively and efficiently from out of office. Of course, there were many ugly scenes.

You never know whether they have dressed properly for the meeting or for the House sitting. Those are challenges that come with remote working conditions. However, I believe it was a challenge of Covid-19 and other pandemic situations. It will assist us to ensure there are no traffic jams that eat a lot of our time and resources. It even destroys our roads because we cannot do it remotely. I do not know whether Sen. Okiya Omtatah saw this in some international media. There was a time where people were questioning the etiquette of some students in the USA and other Western countries delegating their assignments to enterprising young Kenyans. Although the issue of etiquette is same as working remotely. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is the manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza Government. It is the promise that they had to Kenyans. I saw some people on social media saying that as a Government, we have lost our manifesto. I can confirm that the manifesto of Kenya Kwanza is still there. One of its agenda is the digital superhighway and creative economy. That is the President’s Manifesto. Therefore, we will build on issues of fibre optics. We will give each constituency 100 computers and Information Communication and Technology (ICT) labs. Young people will be able to work from their constituencies remotely in those labs using the digital superhighway and creative economy.
