• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand corrected. I just wanted to ask whether we have the quorum to continue. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to support what Sen. Cherargei said. The statements raised under Standing Order 47 and 48(1) are mostly urgent and of national or county importance. May at times, when the responses on the statements delay, they end up being overtaken by events. For instance, I raised a Statement sometimes back to the Committee of Health about issues affecting health in my county, but it has since been overtaken by events. There are people who also forwarded a petition to this House through me which has since been overtaken by events. If this situation persists, ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving this opportunity to support this important Bill. I have gone through it. I have seen that it will be an eye-opener as well as a development strategy among the Kenyans living abroad. From the outset, let me say that the definition of the contextual terms is very important. It has created an eye-opener for further understanding of this Bill, especially to those who may not be lawyers. We are living in a global village. With Information Technology (IT), the world has been reduced to a small village. The movement of people from one ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: technology people can access even employment opportunities from other countries apart from Kenya. Coming up with such a Bill is so important, especially at this particular time when people are moving to other countries searching for employment. I want to quote Peter Drucker in his article on 21st Century Development Strategies, where he says that to be able to compete effectively with other countries in the 21st Century, we must understand the level of a country as far as information technology is concerned. Therefore, understanding information technology in our country and even enabling young people to learn about this information ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: girl and yet, she was suffering; she was being tortured and enslaved. When we contacted the agents, they were not responding. However, this Bill is providing a clear framework, which will guide the agencies on how they will be engaging Kenyans when taking them from our country to go abroad to get employed. Most of the Kenyans are cheated that they are going to work in hotels. Some of them are cheated that they are going to work in the airport or in offices. However, after reaching those particular countries, they are reduced to work as maids against their wishes. ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, another one is the processes. It will enable Kenyans living abroad and within our country to process passports effectively. Up to this time, it is taking some Kenyans several weeks and months to get their passports. This Bill touches on the areas where processing of passports will be facilitated very easily. It will facilitate the movement of Kenyans from one country to another very easily. view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: There is another framework that clearly states how those people will return from abroad to Kenya after living abroad for a long time. These people require some very clear policy that will enable them to come back to their country and adjust their lifestyles to this country. Most of the Kenyans have left Kenya for almost 40 to 50 years. For those people to come back and adjust their lifestyle to live in Kenya, it is not very easy. This Bill will enable the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Immigration to provide policies that will enable Kenyans ... view
