• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a great opportunity. As a country, we should move forward and exploit it, so that we can export more than one million youth to that job market. However, as we do that, let us legislate, so that we can protect the workers out there and ensure they are treated like any other Kenyan working within our borders. view

• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am a Member of that Committee. I did not go to Saudi Arabia, and we did not send our Members to go to Saudi Arabia, to only find negativity in the employment of Kenyans in Saudi Arabia. We sent them there to go and find out what is happening. So, it is out of order for Hon. Didmus Barasa to insinuate that Members who went to Saudi Arabia, who are Members of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that I belong to, went there for holiday and wasted taxpayers’ money. We did not ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I second this very important Bill that will rid our country of massive corruption which is a cancer that is eating us. The import of this Bill is to make sure that those who steal from the public are not fined only less than Kshs1 million. It should be more than that. The jail term should increase from at least 10 years to more than that. The issue of corruption in our country cannot be overemphasised. It is a cancer that has made sure that we do not have drugs ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think Hon. Tonui was asleep when I was describing this issue. I have just said we are fighting a losing battle by fighting corruption through social media and lifestyle audits, yet the proper way to do so is to enact the relevant laws in this House to deter corrupt individuals. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We have gone into a popularity spree of saying that people are taking sacks of bags to churches and yet those who are claiming so should carry theirs in paper bags or wallets because the church cannot refuse to take it. The way to fight corruption is through this Bill. Even if we have fought corruption through social media avenues, media avenues and lifestyle audit, we still had the Goldenberg Scandal, the Anglo-Leasing Scandal, the National Youth Service (NYS) Scandals 1 and 2, and the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Scandal. There is still a lot of corruption which is ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Pukose is a ranking Member who should understand that when we argue and debate in this House, we should build up our cases. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I support the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes (Amendment) Bill. If somebody is convicted of corruption crime, that particular individual should be jailed for not less than 10 years. At the moment, the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act says that an individual should be jailed for not more than 10 years. We want people to be jailed for more than 10 years, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: so that they can stay in prison as we develop our country. If they stay out of prison, they will destabilise our country. When they go to prison for 10 years, some of them get more experience on how to steal. Kamiti Prison inmates commit cybercrimes using phones. Sometimes they even get more tactics on how to steal. We want them to stay there for some time as we try to put in place relevant laws to deter them from engaging in corruption. If you fine someone less than Kshs1 million and he has stolen Kshs700 million, you already know ... view
