If you make comparisons with the figures of remittances that was there in 2020, it was about USD258 million. In May 2021, we are talking about USD31 million. That is a very big margin of differences. We know that very many people are relying on this money. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Unfortunately, some of this money has been misused and misdirected. As Sen.

It angles this particular Act to ensure that the diaspora is taken care of, for example, a Kenyan living broad who is a returnee.

I will go through them very ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when people think about how to integrate when coming back, it does not look--- Why do people need this sort of integration? They do, because of the changes that they have had when they have been out there. When they come back, they really need to be able to move into place. Having a presidential distinguished service award for these Kenyans has also been mentioned. This very well. The Bill will really enhance the possibility of those who are coming back for reintegration and development and for them to move very well. I have already mentioned ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: As I wind up, Clause 2(h) requires submission of annual reports to Parliament and implementation of policies. I think this is key because it will involve us. view
