• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is not by coincidence that I am called “Nominee 001”. Even in coming to this House, you will affirm that I arrive here before you and leave after you because I have to earn from my sweat. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very, much Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support the Bill that has been brought here by a world renowned surgeon, Hon. Dr. Pukose. He has seen the problems that Kenyans face, especially because of the upsurge in cases of cancer and non-regulated food and drugs. I support the Kenya Food Bill, which will birth the Kenya Food and Drug Authority that will house all regulatory organs of all the foods and drugs in our country. view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Currently, regulation of food and drugs in our country is haphazard, to say the least. We remember Matiang’i and the mercury in sugar. We could not understand how mercury ended up being in sugar. What is the rationale in somebody putting mercury in sugar and selling the compound at the price of sugar? Mercury is more expensive than sugar! So, we could not understand. If we had such a regulatory authority in place, it would be easier for us to ascertain the truth. This is because we have witnessed situations where products from the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are destroyed ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: fail because of the overdose of some of these chemicals that are used in lightening their skins. The skins are lightened by drugs that destroy melanin. For the cosmetics to stick in one’s body, one needs a sticker. Most of the time, these stickers are heavy metals like lead and mercury. If you use them in your lipsticks, you might end up transferring the same mercury and other poisonous chemicals to your spouses. Hon. (Dr.) Pukose talked about maturity level 3 that enables us to have products that we can sell beyond our borders. Currently, it is only South Africa ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Employment (Amendment) Bill 2019 be now read a Second Time. The Bill went through the First Reading on 26th February 2020 and was thereafter committed to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare pursuant to Standing Order No.127. In summary, the Bill seeks to amend Section 9 of the Employment Act 2011 in order to reduce the cost incurred by the youth while job seeking. Many of the unemployed Kenyans consist of persons below the age of 35 and mostly first-time job seekers are unable to afford ... view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: The current national requirement is that those seeking employment in the public sector should get clearance from Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) and Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). Clearance certificates ordinarily sought by employers relate to certification of the status of a potential employee tax compliance, ethics and integrity, credit worthiness and criminal liability. By inference, the relevant institutions that issue the said clearance certificates are EACC, HELB, KRA, DCI and the CRB. The issuance of clearance certificate ought not to be treated as a revenue stream ... view
