• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the proposed amendment. I have carefully gone through the draft Bill. Hon. Gideon Keter is seeking to streamline the requirements when it comes to the process of getting employment. Notably, the job seekers are young persons who possibly do not have income, as most of them maybe from low backgrounds where income is a problem. The net effect is that as they go to do the interviews, they are required to carry multitudes of clearance certificates for which huge payments have been made to the Government so that ... view

• 9 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also support that we need to reconsider our position. We know very well that some of the COVID-19 rules and regulations are still in force. Most importantly, we have to learn to live with the disease. It is part of life and we have to be careful at all times to ensure that our safety and that of Kenyans is taken care of. We are not oblivious to the fact that we are heading towards an election year and political rallies have started. What we are seeing is not anywhere near compliance with ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was going to move the proposed amendments in the Committee of the whole House, but when I got the proposed amendments, I had issues with Sections 2 and 8. The reason is that I have tried to stretch my imagination as to when, in that Committee, did we ever discuss Hajj. I am not disowning this, but on a serious note, I do not recollect. If there are Members of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs here, they can confirm that we did this in a very nice way, but these introductions have ... view

As we speak today, there are areas in Kenya that are fully watered which means every household enjoys piped water. While there are other areas where water is ... view
