• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate the Assistant Minister for the quick and capable response even on the day the Ministerial Statement was sought. This underlines the reason why we need to have professionals in charge of Ministries. Nevertheless, my concern is that we now have, in the world, a lot of strange diseases like Bird Flu, Ebola and so on. I want the Assistant Minister to assure this House and the nation at large that there are adequate measures, particularly at the border entry points, to ensure that these diseases are detected early enough before they reach our ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Could I assist the Minister? view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have the Bill as well as the amendment. The Minister has not given us an explanation as to why he wants to make that change in the definition of "collective agreement". I do not see any difference. It is just a matter of juggling words.

We do not want to make laws that we do not understand! Would you kindly clarify it? view

Yet there are employees who have not been paid for a long time. I do not understand why the Minister would oppose such a noble amendment by the Committee. I beg to support and urge other hon. Members to support this amendment by the Committee. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with your permission, given that we are now dealing with Clause 3(d), I think it would save us time if we dealt with parts (i), (ii) and (iii) so that we dispose of that bit and we do not go over it again because they are the same. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in support of the Minister, because we have to be correct here, the definition of "redundancy", which has been misused by employers, is extensive and inclusive. It will protect Kenyan workers who have been abused and misused for a long time. view
