• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want the Minister to clarify what he has said in his Ministerial Statement that the Executive has the overall responsibility to negotiate the treaty. Is that power over and above the normal power that the Government has on policy issues where it lays on the Table the policies for discussion and debate by hon. Members? If the Government had the power to commit the country without discussion, debate or policy by Parliament, then it would be executing without the mandate of the Kenyan people. Secondly, do we have a list of undomesticated treaties that ... view
• 27 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government brings policy papers for debate and discussion before the House. On the same basis, why can the Government not have a foreign policy position on various aspects before concluding the contracts?

I have in mind the practices in the district level. Whenever a complaint is brought to Labour Inspectors’ attention by an employee or when there is a dispute ... view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: It is a big challenge that the Government has not seen the need to properly fund this Ministry. So, this attitude transcends from the employers of various categories, including the Government. If this country wants to develop, we must change our attitude towards our workers. We must change our attitude towards the labour force. view
• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is even worse is that in these times of economic crisis we cannot hope and expect workers will take all kinds of inconveniences and disadvantage, while lying down when others who are well placed, are compensated. All employees are expected to survive even when inflation and other adverse changes come about. There is a limit to how far you can push people as we have seen in the case of the Kenya Airways staff.
