• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: THAT, the matters raised in this Petition are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare: (i) Recommends that the management of Kibos Sugar and Allied Industries unreservedly grants to all employees, including union officials the inalienable rights to form, join or participate in the activities and programmes of a trade union as enshrined in Article 41 of the Constitution. (ii) Causes the Company to honour and implement the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) of 2017 for all ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Before I rest my case, I want to plead that this is a giant. I am between a rock and a hard place. The employer is in my constituency and the employees are my voters. There were a number of cases that the Labour and Social Welfare Committee has been dealing with, which have been brought to this House. However, there have been a lot of monkey games. I wish you would spell some direction that would make the workers who are my voters find some remedy. If you allow me, I would ask my fellow colleague in the Labour ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Because he has gone through a similar experience before. view

• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to oppose the proposal by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. It is high time we decided whether we want to import or we want to do things locally. Fraudsters will still use these goods that we are going to exempt, to bring in other goods which is going to hurt the economy. Either we import the drugs in the bottles or not. Most of the times they are already packed. This is not good at a time when we are trying to remedy the ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I had wished to contribute in the previous amendments. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I want to oppose the proposal by my friend Hon. Kioni. At a time when the BBI is trying to bring in inclusivity, he is trying to dismember parties so that a small briefcase party that is going to have three or four Members can also benefit. People are going to school so that they can live better lives. Why are you degenerating by trying to pull us backwards? In good faith, Mr. Kioni, whether it is personal and you have already sensed defeat in your party but you still would want ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for at last giving me an opportunity. I have been hanging around and was wondering what it takes to get an opportunity. I am not going to competently debate on the suitability of Amb. Johnson Mwangi Weru. A lot has been said by the Acting Chair of that Committee and his Member but during this debate, something has come up that is worth putting on record. This House needs to vet people and pass them when they really meet the threshold. But something has come up that we have serious weakness in ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: capacity to get the correct information about the personalities. I am complaining that Parliament must take its work seriously and these committees must be put on notice. They should not mislead Parliament so that we end up passing people who do not meet the threshold of what we require. I am saying this against the backdrop that many of those who have passed through this House are now principle suspects in major frauds outside and their names are in the headlines. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, people are wondering how some of them who did not have the requisite education got appointed. They are also wondering how some of them who were criminals from the outset were passed by this House. So, I urge the agencies concerned to ensure that they do their work competently such that if my name is James K’oyoo and somebody sends my name to the EACC or to the DCI as John K’oyoo and we do not get approval for such a name, it will be very bad. Those people must learn to take their work seriously. view
