• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I want to support this Statement. It looks like the problems that KEMSA is facing are serious and endemic with time. It is unfortunate that as we talk as a country, KEMSA - because of reactionary measures that they are putting in place and because they want to protect powerful cartels within the sector especially in the Ministry of Health and also the procurement of drugs - they have decided to go for the „small fish‟. In the beginning of the year, I remember the the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, for purposes of the HANSARD, I think Sen. Kavindu Muthama should be specific because we have so many Mutuas. She said that Mutua fired over 200 employees, but I think she should be specific. Which Mutua? view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Langat for bringing this Statement on the plight of Bomet Water and Sanitation Company staff. Counties are facing many problems. It is good that we have the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, Sen. Sakaja, in the House. It is a problem that many county staff are facing at the moment. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: I do not know whether our county governments are cursed. This is because every county government we talk about is either firing or suspending. If they are not suspending, they are denying to pay statutory deductions, which is an offence. I saw in the news that the Deputy Governor of Nairobi City County is being hunted down by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). It is a serious illegality that the county government must be put to task. The Sen. Sakaja led committee must rise up to the occasion as they usually do and call out the County Government of Bomet ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Finally, it is painful because these employees need rent, transport, clothes and school fees. These are people who live from hand to mouth. They depend on the salary to survive because of Kenya‟s hard economic times. Therefore, you can imagine their frustrations when they walk to a hospital and are told that their NHIF card is rejected because the County Government of Bomet has not paid the statutory reductions. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: We have also been hired by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Imagine when you walk to a hospital to use your medical card and you are told that your employer has not remitted the necessary statutory reductions. Therefore, I call upon Sen. Sakaja‟s Committee to work hard on this. I know that Sen. Sakaja is aiming for higher things in this City. We hope that this thing shall be addressed once and for all. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: In conclusion, they should give us a policy or legislative intervention that we need to put in place to protect our workers within the workforce of county governments. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you Temporary Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I support the Report by Sen. Johnson Arthur Sakaja, for his leadership, and the Committee. The Committee has been industrious and committed on many labour issues. When I was seconding an amendment introducing issues of the diaspora, I indicated that for the last two financial years, Kenyans from abroad have remitted more than Kshs780billion. It is the best foreign exchange earner in this Republic. It has gone beyond tea and any other foreign exchange earners that we get as a country. If this country was concerned about the diaspora community, ... view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wanted to say fake contracts. I am not as eloquent in Kiswahili as you, but I was looking for the word fake contracts or even compromised contracts. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: I think these agencies must work in collaboration. That is why a diaspora directorate is important so that we can have a legal department before these young men take air tickets. I am told they get $1,500 to take one person to those areas. Before they sign the contracts, we should scrutinize if it is a standard contract. Since that contract can view
