• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the moving and seconding of this very important Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. However, at the same time, I see we are dealing with 15 different statutes, which touch on very key areas. I expect the Members of this National Assembly to be present in enough numbers, especially when I contribute. I really want to touch on several of these. So, given the fact that my eyes are telling me that we do not have quorum, I rise on Standing Order No.95 to bring to your attention the fact that we do ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With all due respect to the Hon. Member, he is flashing some figures. Is it in order for us or the House to get the source of that data?

• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: about the provinces. It is a big anomaly that he is aware there are 23 provinces and we have 22 as a House. We need to correct that position. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the chance to reply to this Motion, a Motion that I had really wanted to speak to but nevertheless have a chance now to reply to and probably tackle a few issues pertaining to Kenya’s missions abroad. I want to start by thanking all the Members who have supported the work of the Committee and who have spoken to issues arising from the Report and new issues which are quite informative and which we shall be able to take up with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Treasury so that we can ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: the Committee’s recommendations, the issue of the state of facilities—like in New York you heard of Kenya House. I like the way I heard several Members speak about Kenya House in New York; that you cannot want your house to look like what Kenya House looks like. That is very good. In fact, that should persuade the membership of this House that once the Supplementary Budget is done, they should help us to get the funds to be able to deal with the problems that arise out of the poor state of facilities. It was also noted that missions in ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I was shocked when I went to Japan and found our ambassador using a simple Toyota car such that when he goes to meetings with other missions he looks like the small brother against the big brothers. Purchase of that vehicle has been in the pipeline for nearly two years. So, we The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: have engaged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but the House can assist us allocate budget so that we address such issues. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I have also heard about promotion of exports such as tea and coffee. We picked out that there is high demand especially in the Far East of macadamia nuts, cashew nuts and avocado but agonisingly, we do not have somebody who is dealing with export in that mission. We recommended as much that for the areas we have specific requests or demands for services or some goods then we should have those officers in place so that they can bring the issue to the Ministry of Trade, so that we help Kenyans do business with the other countries as appropriate. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, I would like to point out the issues that arose and which we shall be addressing. The critical one mostly is the one for Saudi Arabia and Hon. Janet spoke about the realignment of our foreign policy with the changing times. I heard you; we will discuss this with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Treasury, especially when we are doing Supplementary Budget so that they do not slice their budget again. This is because they sliced the one that we just did. view
