• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order. Hon. Speaker, I am following up on what you are saying. We should learn from our leader.

• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking FedEx for thinking about Kenya, for trusting us and giving us the opportunity, which I am sure other countries are yearning for.

• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: This bilateral Agreement should be ratified in this House and implemented as soon as possible because it will create job opportunities.

Ones we have direct flight, investors will see an opportunity of having tanneries and shoe manufacturing industries within our borders because they can easily transport to a larger market like the United States of America. We will also have foreign exchange because it will earn us a ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Sea transport between the two countries will even be more beneficial. Lastly, I hope it will not be a conduit of Kenya taxes to offshore accounts.

• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: another legacy of being an international petitioner in the ICC. I was with him there, but this one will be a very big legacy for him as the Chair of Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and of course to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. view
