• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: I am giving this information, knowing that we are getting into the holiday season and people may be misled to imagine that there is no connectivity. You have got two planes which have been dedicated specifically to connect Kenyans wanting to get to Mombasa on an hourly basis. You have a flight getting into Mombasa and out of Mombasa so that Kenyans can get their connectivity and enjoy their holiday season. That is the same thing that is happening on a global basis to connect the other 42 destinations in Africa. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that hon. Members appreciate that you cannot compare apples and oranges and expect the same results. Different airlines operate in different environments. The salaries in Europe are totally different from the salaries in Kenya.

This is the construction of a new unit just next to the Unit 1. Unless there is delay because of weather or other factors, that is expected to be completed by the end of next year. After that, we will start to upgrade Unit 1, 2 and 3 by raising one level each. There is a lot of other works that I will be happy to come and share comprehensively through a Statement in this House.

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I mentioned about not comparing apples with oranges--- Let me bring an example that touches on the Members of Parliament. Are the Members of Parliament of Kenya’s salaries at par with those of their counterparts in Europe? I will be happy to table the CBA that has been negotiated but do not want to compare what a manager is paid in Europe vis-à-vis what a manager is paid in Kenya. That is exactly on the same basis of what a Kenyan MP earns vis-à-vis an MP in Uganda or in Europe. view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Members of Parliament in Kenya earn much more than Members of Parliament in Europe. view
