• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I support this Motion, I can correctly say that Hon. Didmus wants this House to concur with him and resolve that the Government develops policies and implement regulations on the amount of fare to be charged by public service vehicles, so that we can protect customers from exploitation. I agree with my colleagues who have spoken and have indicated that there is disorder and clear chaos in the transport sector. My only concern is how we should go about it. By the way, I am very clear in my mind that the disorder ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I remember when some of us came to Nairobi in the late 1980s. I came to Nairobi in 1991 and there was an organised transport system. I can see my friend wondering that I came to Nairobi in 1991. I came ahead of him. I thought he was wondering that I came later. Now I can see I am growing old. There was organised public transport in the city. We had the Kenya Bus Service which was so organised. If you want to control fares, you do not fix the amount of fares. The best way to do it is ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: So, as we pass this Motion, I want to tell Hon. Didmus Barasa something, because he is the one who has already engaged his mind in this thing and I congratulate him for that, many of us do a lot of politicking. I also see him a lot of times doing a lot of politicking at funerals, which is not bad because we are politicians. Since he has come up with a well-thought idea, I want him to engage his mind even further to come up with a Bill that would either mend some of the existing statutes or even ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion that has been moved by the Whip of the Majority Party. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: First, I agree with the Whip of the Majority Party that any Member can bring any Motion. A Motion that is of concern to the people can be brought at any time by any Member. I do not think there is any mistake Hon. Washiali has done. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: However, we need to address the strike at our airports. I have heard people say that the KQ staff are on strike. It is not KQ staff but staff of the Kenya Airports Authority who are on strike. The Constitution allows picketing, demonstrations and public protests. If there are exceptions, they are provided for in law. The KAA management and the Government, especially The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: the Ministry of Labour, must resolve this matter urgently and quickly. We must also speak to the unions of this country. Sometimes, strikes have to follow some process. You do not just wake up and ask your members to go on strike. I saw it with nurses. I do not know where we are headed to because now even the lives of the people do not matter. It is really immoral and unjustified. We may play politics of populism but the truth of the matter is that the latest strike we are dealing with today, in my view, all avenues ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: You know the rules of natural justice and debate in this House. When a Member mentions you adversely, you are supposed to be given an opportunity to respond. Either, Hon. Wanyama arrived late or probably, he lacks the capacity to understand what I said. This is because what I said was very clear. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Who is asking me not to demean a Member? There is nothing to demean. Hon. Washiali, either you are with him or you better keep quiet.
