• 31 May 2023 in Senate: “An employee shall not be reprimanded, punished, or subjected to disciplinary action if the employee disregards a work-related communication during out of work hours.” view
• 31 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, even here in Parliament, you should not call your staff beyond the working hours. They have the right to refuse to answer the call. If they do not pick that phone call, they should not be reprimanded or face disciplinary action. I know the culprits are normally in media because I have friends who are journalists. A fire breaks out in Gikomba Market and you are working for certain media houses, I do not want to name names because of risk. Somebody might think we are saying it out of the privilege here. Madam Temporary Speaker, for ... view

• 31 May 2023 in Senate: superhighway and a creative economy, where young people will work. This should be in place in the Public Service because people should also be creative. When you look at the Public Service Charter, it talks about the Presidential Awards being done digitally. Our Public Service is yet to adapt to the changes of working remotely. That is why I was looking at the annual report for the financial years. This relates to the Public Service Commission. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have read through it. Unfortunately, they are yet to embrace remote working. The biggest employer is the Government. We must ... view
