• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Anything that moves us towards greater integration and movement of persons is good. I urge our Government to ratify these treaties fairly quickly. I would only add that the good things that come may have their damn sight risks. First of all, these treaties on movement of people will help expand trade opportunities for this Republic and person to person interaction. That can earn us foreign revenues or help us generate more from our own economies by opening up new markets. However, there are some agreements that have ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: For example, we in the border counties had significant cross-border trade in services, customs and clearance, trade facilitation and movement of goods. This benefited many of our people in service provision. However, they lost this in the cross-border trade reforms that were put in plac e. The jobs opportunities became minimal in Busia and Malaba. This has caused suffering among the local communities. In any economy, you calculate the benefits and the costs of entering into these trade agreements--- You can talk about the jobs created in Naivasha, Nairobi or Mombasa, but you should also project that there will be ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: learnt. With that kind of protocol, nothing can go wrong because it is extremely good. However, when you do that in terms of movement of people generally - not necessarily within these particular protocols that were signed - looking at the export of goods, it offers service to other countries. We have to be very careful about opening borders easily to countries that are not receptive and that do not welcome foreigners in a way that is either civilised or modern in the 21st Century. Our people who move to the Middle East countries are sometimes subjected to the most ... view

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I have been waiting to give a comment on this. First of all, we should agree that the leadership of the House should not mislead the House. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: One, this is not an issue about policy, but transaction. Policies that govern this include public and private laws, and other laws which have been passed. That is why the policy is amended. This is about transaction. Two, when you are dealing with a transaction, you are not even transacting from research documents. That is not the case. I think deliberate use of words of that nature, which have been repeated faithfully by the Member from Narok in good faith, are clearly misleading. We are not giving the impression to the country that we are talking about issues that originate ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The heat of the moment and the mood of the House reminds me of the same heat and mood that we had when we were discussing mercury in the sugar. Members were afraid to discuss it. Finally, it led to what did not turn out to be anything useful. This pre-emptive and extreme fear must suggest something. That is the problem because we are in an environment in which billions of the taxpayers’ money get lost every day. We see it and yet we are now acting like we are a saintly State. This is surprising. It behoves us, as ... view
