• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to attempt to deliberately misinterpret what I said? I said here very clearly that 45 per cent of the Authority’s staff in Grades eight to ten come from the same community. That is not the same as what he has said. Is he in order? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek the indulgence of the Chair on this Question. The crux of this Question lies in parts (a) and (b) which call for a comprehensive list of employees and an organogram for the organization. Up to now, I have not seen any of that. It is, therefore, not possible for me to study or build supplementary questions. I, therefore, request that the Chair directs that the Minister gives me that information so that I can look at it for the next two days and then I ask the Question on Thursday. view

• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) whether he is aware that Chinese Contractors are paying Kenyan workers poor wages which are below the recommended daily rates; and, (b) what steps he is taking to ensure all Kenyan labourers employed by Chinese Contractors and other foreign contractors are paid recommended wages, treated with dignity and ensured access to all their rights as provided in the new constitution. view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even though I have not received a written answer, I am comfortable to proceed. view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer but you will realise that he has not tabled any payroll from any of the Chinese contractors. So, his claims that they are not under- paying our people cannot be verified. I hope that he will take steps to rectify that.

• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just building up the question. Most of the works being undertaken by the Chinese contractors are heavily mechanized and we know that the biggest problem in this country is youth and unemployment. What steps has the Ministry taken in liaison with the relevant Ministries where the Chinese contractors are most engaged like roads and public works to ensure an optimal balance between man and machine so that we can have most of our unemployed youths engaged on these projects? view
