• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Sakaja on the issue of trade unions. From the onset, I am not sure whether I agree with my senior who is also one of the best former justices in terms of trade and labour laws, on the last comment that he made on having one collective bargaining agreement for all trade unions. It would be a violation of the Constitution which is very clear that every trade union, employers and organisations, have a right to engage in collective bargaining. If we limit ... view

We are in agreement that the Constitution gives workers a right to join any trade union, but if a lot of politics is involved in a trade union---.

• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Sakaja on bringing order to the transport sector in this city. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was listening to the Leader of Majority comparing Nairobi with Washington DC in terms of the politics that surrounds the debate of whether Nairobi should be a city or a county. In that assertion, there are only two disparities; one is that Washington DC is a very small city of about 177 square kilometres, while Nairobi is about 693 square kilometres. What we need to do is to try and figure out ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Yesterday I saw a notice from the Nairobi City County Government that public bus stops will be moved out of the City. There is also another argument regarding motorcycles in the City. It is imperative that when the Committee will be investigating this matter, they should give us information on all the plans. I am sure there were plans to set up a tram and an underground transportation system in this City. Will we really see this or should the Committee look at other ways of trying to control traffic in this City? view

These are some of the things we need to deal with because looking at the City and all the problems that we have in this country such as unemployment; there is no way we will stop that because there are a lot of movements from rural to urban areas and the only urban area that somebody can think of getting a job is Nairobi. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: When the Committee will be looking at this, it is important for us to tell Kenyans whether Nairobi as a Capital City will be a place where you do not spend six hours on the road when it rains.

• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: I support this Statement and I hope that the Committee will actually take its time to help us solve the problem of congestion in this City. view
