• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the debate. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: First and foremost, I thank the Committee for adopting its Report on the ratification of this Agreement more so given that it is opening the boundaries amongst these countries and creating opportunities for Kenyans in general. It also makes it convenient to travel from Kenya to Botswana. Currently, we have to go to South Africa before we can travel to Botswana. This has happened to me. I have been to Botswana twice. The flight distance will shorten by over one-third if not two-fifths. When you land in South Africa, you also spend some time there and that is time wasting. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Botswana is a country with which we should have ratified this Protocol a long time ago because we have many Kenyans working there. When Botswana got its Independence, it imported a lot of skilled labour from Kenya, especially teachers. When I was there last in 2015, I met many Kenyans with their families, who are teachers, head-teachers and principals of schools. They say that they find it cumbersome to come home because there is no direct flight from Botswana to Nairobi, Kenya. This time round, it will be quite easy and convenient. Given that the country has a small population, ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: I request the Chairman to go out and look for many other countries that we can open our airspace to. The more we are connected with other countries, the more we will know what they do and what we can gain from them cheaply because flights will be cheaper. Exchange of ideas through visits will help us. I know we are not connected to many countries in Africa and across the world. I would like us to engage other friendly countries willing to start such programmes so that we can ratify such protocols to open up our countries. Once we ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Report. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me take this opportunity to thank my colleague, Hon. Mule, and also the two Kenyans who brought in this Petition. Again, let me thank the Committee for having done this job very fast. They came up with at least a primary report which I believe will be the basis of preparing the Bill. After building the Bill, we can agree on the way forward. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Let me say that on this issue of fuel prices going up, we are blamed by the public as Parliament because we are said to be the ones who opened up this Pandora’s Box. I believe this was being done intentionally by some people outside there, especially in the Executive. When this issue was brought here in Parliament, it was really fought hard and Members really wanted to remove the VAT on petroleum products. But the same people who are here who have already started saying today we remove the VAT are the ones who were going in the corridors, ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment. It is important to provide evidence with regard to importation of sugar because some of the importers bring sugar into our market even when there is enough of it. Secondly, I would like to concur with my fellow Members. We ought to strengthen subclauses (b) and (c) to provide that samples of the imported sugar must be given to KEBS or whichever body that is supposed to standardise. Sub-clause (c) talks about obtaining pre-import approval from the country of origin. The pre-import approval is supposed to be given ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment since it will curb the illegal business carried out by dealers. There will be no illegal dealers in this business. I support. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Employment (Amendment) Bill. I thank Hon. Keter for bringing this amendment Bill. I hope that once it is enacted, it will bring sanity and solve many problems which the youth are already encountering. view
