• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, nobody can believe that the Member the Hon. Deputy Speaker is referring to has never planted a tree. I have been to his home and I have seen trees. He has planted trees on his land, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: He is the one who planted the trees, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You cannot allow Hon. Kioni to get away with that kind of statement. He has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: made reference to a Member who has contributed in the House, to the extent that he was heckling in the House. Members do not heckle. Hon.

• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Truly, the rate of unemployment in our country is very high. It is one of the highest in the world, as she has just put it. Besides that, about one million graduates from universities, tertiary institutions and even high school do not have anywhere to go. This adds to the existing unemployment. So, the situation continues to worsen. It is, therefore, important that this country re-evaluates its strategies of creating employment for its people. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I commend the Chair of the Committee, whom I know very well because he is an old friend of mine. I commend him for the decision they took to undertake a fact-finding mission in Saudi Arabia. Until we have facts, it is usually very difficult to make a determination. This was in response to an outcry from the Kenyan public and reports from the media about the manner in which Kenyan workers in Saudi Arabia were treated. It was on the basis of this that the Committee undertook to go there on a fact-finding mission. They were reacting to an ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The only area that makes me uncomfortable, and which would have caused Hon. Millie Odhiambo to oppose this Report, is the fact that even though they were responding to an outcry relating to Kenyan migrant workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Report has not captured where they had audience or interaction with the workers. That is where the problem is. Otherwise, the rest of the Report is good. It captures the position of the Saudi authorities, our mission in Saudi Arabia and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. But it could have been very good if they ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I support this initiative. Every country the world over puts in place measures to create employment opportunities for its people. We are not just talking about domestic workers. Even professionals. It is the responsibility of a country to market its professionals who have not secured employment opportunities in the country. The United Nations and all agencies under it take professionals. It is the responsibility of the Government to find ways, as a member of the global community, of marketing its people in those agencies. The African Union (AU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Great Lakes Region have ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: world. This Government, instead of working out ways to create employment opportunities, has instead frozen employment. Let us not talk about freezing employment for the young people, I am now looking at the Public Service Commission. What is their role? What are they doing in terms of succession in our country because people are growing old and attaining retirement age? People are getting out of service through attrition, some are dying, resigning and so on and so forth. What is going to happen? Already, I know there is a gap in terms of generations that have moved, even change of ... view
