• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The justification for that is simple. The new proposed amendment is intended to enable the agency initiate measures targeting and protecting intellectual property rights registered outside Kenya. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Without belabouring much on that, we know what has been happening in the country in terms of the counterfeit products we have had in the country. This is to address those issues. Thank you. view

• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to oppose the amendment. We are all proud of our tribes.
