• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to make my contribution on this Report by the Committee. First of all, I commend the delegation which went to Saudi Arabia and the Committee generally for the good work it is doing. I know other people may be having different opinions, but I believe the Committee is trying its best to respond to the issues in the labour sector. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We must first of all appreciate that the biggest problem we have currently in this country is unemployment –lack of jobs for our youth. So many of them have become hopeless and drunkards because of joblessness. I believe when countries like Saudi Arabia avail chances for employment, they are assisting this country. In fact, I believe from this Report, they have been doing better because they have some mechanisms of resolving some labour disputes which we do not have in this country. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I wish to commend the former President, the third President of this Republic, Hon. Mwai Kibaki. At least he created job opportunities for the youth in this country by zero-rating the cost of boda boda. Many of your youth have been employed through that system. Through Jubilee, I do not know what we concentrate on, and we never think of creating jobs in this country. We are directionless when it comes to the issues of the youth. I do not know if Hon. Kibaki is aging but The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: we may need to visit him to borrow some of his ideas. He brought infrastructural transformation and addressed unemployment. Now, we are blaming countries in the Middle East which are assisting us in sorting out this mess. From this Report, we are even learning that working hours are strictly regulated even for the maids. It is seven to nine hours. Even the maids in our homes work 24 hours a day and they are not even regulated. The directive on minimum wage is not observed in this country. It is better that those issues are well taken care of. I ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: From this Report, the biggest problem here is the issue of illegal immigrants which I believe all hon. Members mentioned. These are the people who are not documented. The embassies are not even aware of them and they can be abused because they are hiding. They find themselves in unfavourable situations. All this is because of the big problem of unemployment in this country which we are not taking care of. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We must also appreciate the issue of cultural shock. Majority of us in this country are Christians: We practice a laissez-faire kind of living. We do not have strict rules. Our morality is very different from that of Muslims. Possibly, that is where our Kenyans could be experiencing problems where they go outside there. We are used to sipping some alcohol which is not allowed there. We go to social places and we are allowed to engage in immoral behaviour, which I understand the people in the Middle East see as dirty. If you engage in these issues and come ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: No. She said she was accused. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: She was the one who started it. I believe you listened to her. She revisited the issue of the Child Welfare Society. She also talked of her own society called the Cradle. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I would concentrate on the “she” rather than the name. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I am guided. I believe when our committees get opportunity to travel outside the country, they get first-hand information which is critical, so that we do not simply rely on googling on the internet. We can easily get misled. First-hand information is critical and our committees should be allowed to visit other countries so that they can get information first-hand and not be told to google, so that they can have the information that is required. I believe it is good to go and meet with those who are working there and get first-hand information. With those few remarks, Hon. ... view
