• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The UNSC is the highest organ in the United Nations. It is an organ comprising 15 members out of 193. It is this Council that intervenes whenever there are conflicts in the world. It institutes dispute resolution mechanisms and sometimes it also institutes the use of force where necessary. It is, therefore, a privilege for Kenya to be in that club. It takes a lot of effort and hard work on the part of the President, Cabinet Secretary, Principal Secretary and many others in that office, not forgetting the many ambassadors out there who are also involved in such lobbying. ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Kenya, being an epicenter of peace in this region, deserves to be in that position. It is my hope that we will take advantage of being in the club to influence policies that will guide things like counter-terrorism. I hope Kenya will join the committee on counter-terrorism which is a subsidiary of the United Nations Security Council so that we can now influence policies that will enable us deal with terrorism that is with us in this country. Kenya is also a host to many refugees out of conflicts in their respective countries. Therefore, it is another opportunity for Kenya ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: That position has a lot of indirect advantages to our country. We must not take it lightly. Our country will be respected out there.

• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Our country now has an opportunity to participate in the world decision-making platforms and be a great influencer on world politics. That will have a lot of advantages in itself. We must take note that for a country to secure such a position, it must be having a lot of respect.

Other countries now know Kenya ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is slightly different. While I am on the same point with Hon. Mutunga, I want to add something new. As a country, we have made progress in the use of mobile money and that is what we use to disburse money to the beneficiaries. Use of systems has its own challenges and it is important that the concerned department re-checks how to audit transactions that take place. view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: When we are at home, much of our time is occupied by inquiries on this particular programme. We like it, but the questions that come, especially on replacements, people who were receiving cash and they are no longer receiving, and people who registered and they do not receive their money are many. I do not understand how they were removed from the system. The answers we get from the immediate people we talk to are that records were not properly entered. I am persuaded that much of this could be due to system problems. We must, as a House, be ... view
