• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on ratification of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) between Kenya, Jordan, Jamaica and Bahamas. This is a matter of great interest to me having had the privilege of being an Assistant Minister in charge of civil aviation in the last regime. I served as an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Transport and later, for another five years as an Assistant Minister for Tourism. So, I fully appreciate the amount of work that goes on in terms of negotiations around BASA and even the time it takes. ... view

• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion that this House approves the nomination of Major (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak. I noted that there was a discussion of concern about the military background of that particular nominee. It was something that was discussed at the committee stage. One of the observations that we made is that, perhaps, many of those military people actually go through the highest vetting required in this country.

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support the amendment. If we are going to legislate in an atmosphere of fear and suspicion, our work is going to be very difficult. We can only anticipate what may possibly happen under fear and suspicion. We must The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
