• 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
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, over half of the population in this country is the youth and three quarters of the youth are unemployed. When you find the youth out there loitering without jobs, they claim that we as Members of Parliament do not assist them get jobs. When you try to explain that the system is the one that has bogged itself with so many other things and forgotten the youth, it becomes very difficult. Some of the entities which are supposed to be employing these people are closing down because of the poor economy. Others cannot expand and so ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) gives youth money to start their own enterprises. However, some youth apply for the money but they are not given. In my constituency, I have a big problem where the Ministry came in and recruited so many youth who had to cough Ksh1, 500 per youth to get a certificate that would enable them get that money. Unfortunately, once that was done they did not get the same money and now they blame the MP who is me or other leaders for not having got the money while it is the system which is ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: understaffed. So, teachers are out there and children are in schools without teachers and the teachers are not being employed. That is very poor planning. view
