• 10 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. All airlines run as businesses, whether private or with State involvement. They need many destinations in many countries where they can have routes and ferry passengers. Therefore, there must be agreements between those countries. The agreements we are seeking to have with these countries are necessary for this country, particularly the Kenya Airways. As we know, Kenya Airways is not doing well. We have had many discussions in this House to find ways of improving the performance of the Kenya Airways. This is one of the ways ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: have many routes provided we have the capacity to do so. Obviously, if we want to get destinations for our airlines in those countries, we must reciprocate, and so the need for bilateral agreements is obvious. That is something that, perhaps, we should have done a long time ago. As the Mover was saying, we should not ask why it has taken so long. International agreements take a lot of time and detailed discussions before you get there. If you look at the outlines of these five agreements, they have certain things in common. They have the grant of rights, ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: we were very uneasy because sometimes there were clear conflicts of interest in the management of investments. The moment you have a conflict of interest in the management, particularly in huge investments like KQ, it will definitely fail. We have experience of business decisions that do not serve the airline. We were talking of leasing of planes. Obviously, these are things that experts must look at so that we can know whether we are overreaching ourselves. Are we overambitious? Is it for political reasons or for business reasons that do not benefit the airline? We know we have had problems ... view
• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This is an extremely important Bill that I rise to support. It gives us an opportunity to control the growth of towns and ownership of property in the growing towns. With our devolution, a lot of towns will come into place. It is important to start managing how property will be owned in those towns at this early stage. Land is becoming extremely expensive. Therefore, it will be very difficult for all of us to own it. We cannot subdivide infinitely. It will reach ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: This puts us in a situation where we can live in our congested town and reduce congestion. Hon. Millie talked about Hong Kong. There is a part of Hong Kong known as Kowloon where you cannot see the sun. They have 135-storey buildings. If we go in that direction, the capacity of our cities to contain people and provide services like sewage systems, water and roads will be impossible. So, as we do that, we must start thinking. There are cities that have solved this problem. Melbourne does not have high-rise flats, but it is very expansive and has boroughs ... view
