• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there might not be dancers from your county, but Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale can provide because people from his county know how to dance. According to the 2019 population housing census, there were 535,000 people in some of these Gulf States. We are waiting for the Kenya Bureau of Statistics (KEBS) to give us guidance on the same. When the then CS for Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, Mr. Chelugui, appeared before our Committee, promised to give the statistics with time. They could not give us the exact numbers of Kenyans being deported, but he--- view
• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: Out of this, 400,000 of them are in the Gulf States. The number could be high because of the World Cup and it could be a challenge. Saudi Arabia, where we have the biggest problem, Kenyans living there remitted Kshs22.65 billion as part of revenue remittances, between January and August this year. That shows that in as much as there are abuses and challenges faced by Kenyans in Saudi Arabia - who we sympathize and empathize with and send condolences to their families and friends that have lost their loved ones in those regions - it continues to give us ... view
• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it was on a light touch. view
• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought Sen. Orwoba should be in a best place to understand because, allegedly, she is in the age group that are being accused of “eating fare”. However, I know currently she is a Senator and she cannot eat the fare. It means that in Kenya there is this habit when you are interested in a lady--- view
• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have tremendous respect for all the women in the country. I was just saying in jest. I said ‘allegedly.’ I have not said that they are doing so. However, there are others who do it, including the men. Sometimes if you are interested in a man, which I highly doubt, they would say they want to see you, but you do not have cash. So, you send the money, but then they do not appear for that meeting. The local vijana normally term it as kukula fare. view
• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: However, I did not mean to make a comment that seems to look down upon women. My sincere apology to Sen. Orwoba and other women who do not “eat fare”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not saying the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare should get a free trip. I challenging them to seize this moment and visit Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you were sitting in the National Assembly, you allocated US$3 million for building safe houses in the last financial year. You have seen Hellen Kemunto here, who was the other ... view

• 24 Nov 2022 in Senate: I know this will make the recruiting agencies uncomfortable in that we should vet anybody who recruits domestic workers to take them to Saudi Arabia. We all need to agree on this aspect. What is the work of National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the other clearing agencies such as the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the workers’ unions? What are they doing until somebody recruits domestic workers to take them to Saudi Arabia. Nandi County has become a victim to this because I have buried many young women who have gone to these ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Nyandarua County Assembly and the County Government for this Petition. It is ironical that NEMA is using the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as an excuse not to allow the road to pass through. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you and I are aware that houses have been built on the river riparian areas in this city. If that road was allowed to pass in other counties, it would not undermine the wildlife ecosystem in any way. This is unfortunate and the people of Nyandarua should not continue to suffer. view
