It is because they have listened to their private sector and have taken time to understand what they would do for their private sector to become more competitive as well as ensure that they produce sufficiently for their country of origin and enough ... view
• 29 May 2025 in Senate: It does not make sense to many of the players in that industry. I have taken time to watch and listen to them. They tell me that Kenyans speak better English than the Indians and Filipinos who are the dominant players in that space. However, because of our laws, lack of motivation or creating an environment that motivates the multinationals that have the contracts of the companies that need these services, there is nothing that attracts them. Business is about attraction. If someone finds out that there is a country where they can make good returns, they will come and ... view
• 29 May 2025 in Senate: amendments to the Investment Promotion Act that will make the country as competitive as other regions? The Class G work permit is offered to any person who intends to engage, whether alone or in partnership, in prospecting for minerals or mining in Kenya. All you need to do is check, ensure and confirm that person has the expertise and has demonstrated that they have succeeded in a particular industry in their country and are now coming to invest in the country. view
• 29 May 2025 in Senate: The other thing is the new definition of employer-employee. I had spoken to what happens in that particular space and the need to foster a good working relationship and a balance between the employer and the employee. When that is done, none will feel taken advantage of. On occupational safety, we have to ensure that we protect our workers as well. It should not just be about protecting the investor and having them take advantage of our workers. That is important. There is an amendment to the Affordable Housing Act. I will wait to read the report of the Committee ... view

• 27 May 2025 in Senate: The problem is that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was on his phone when I was making my point. That is why he completely misunderstood what I mentioned. I was pursuing the point of fictitious claims, unless, Sen. (Dr.) Boni wants to mislead this House that NHIF did not have challenges of fictitious claims. That is in the open. Read from the report of the Auditor-General on operations in that institution. I have said, for your benefit, Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale, that I am completely clear in my mind that 95 per cent to 99 per cent of the employees that worked ... view
