• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: I support the review of the abnormal increment in the prices of petroleum and petroleum products. Kenyans are undergoing very hard moments. The COVID-19 Pandemic has hit the country and we have seen businesses collapse and Kenyans have suffered very much. When prices of petroleum and petroleum products rise, we should remember the first victim is the matatu sector which ferries the biggest number of people in this country. Any time the price of fuel is raised, it affects all the other related sectors. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: With the rise of the price of LPG, it is high time, as Parliament, we stood firm and zero- rated LPG. Currently, we do not use clean fuels in cooking in this country. Therefore, when we raise prices of LPG, forest cover decreases because majority of Kenyans use firewood and charcoal. All these things affect households. view

Another good concept that was introduced is the Foreign Service Academy. It gives trainings and programmes that are required to enhance skills for the entire team.
