• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Chairman. I also want to echo the sentiments by Dr. Nyikal. I think it would be needless to have further training for board members because they represent the interests of the groups that nominate them to the board and they go there for the purpose of safeguarding those interests. Therefore, I do not think it would be necessary that they be retrained. They will not be permanent employees. I oppose. view

Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to reinforce the sentiments that have been expressed by my very able Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Ali Wario. I want to allay the fears of Members that in the past there were serious challenges that were bedevilling the immigrant workers of Kenya abroad.

I hope he has taken note of the challenges in the Ministry his Committee should address squarely for the betterment ... view

• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: (Muhoroni, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was not in the House early enough to benefit from the wise ruling of the Speaker with regard to this Bill and as a result, I will be very palliative in my approach. view
