• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I believe provision of security is squarely given to the National Police Service. It is not up to the organisers of a strike and trade unions to organise for security as they know nothing about security. There are specialised personnel who deal with that. There are issues such as where the Employment Act is being amended to provide for what is called re-assignment and re- designation of job titles. I believe this is open to abuse where the employer can reassign or re- design an employee and subsequently abolish that position. In that way that employee will be rendered jobless ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: contributors to NHIF are employees and individual members of NHIF. Those are the people who should be highly represented in NHIF and not majorly the Government. It is unfair to remove them. Representation of the workers of this country should be there in NHIF. The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Act is also targeted for amendment in this Bill.There is also a proposal that the CS be given power to appoint all the members of the Board of Trustees of NSSF. I believe this is also unconstitutional because NSSF basically operates on the funds of workers and not Government. So, ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Act, there is a proposal on Part 4 (1) (f) to remove representation of the workers and replace it with the appointees of the CS. The major contributors to NHIF are employees and individual members of NHIF. Those are the people who should be highly represented in NHIF and not majorly the Government. It is unfair to remove them. Representation of the workers of this country should be there in NHIF. The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Act is also targeted for amendment in this Bill.There is also a proposal that the CS ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 relating to extension of period for its consideration of nominees for appointment to public office, and Section 11(6) of the National Gender and Equality Commission Act, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the nominees who were submitted by His Excellency the President for appointment to the Office of the Chairperson and members of the National ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011 relating to extension of period for consideration of nominees for appointment to a public office and Section 11(6) of the National Gender and Equality Commission Act, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the nominees submitted by His Excellency the President for appointment to the offices of Chairperson and Members of the National Gender and Equality Commission by a further period of 14 days from 26th July, 2018. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: We are asking for this extension because the period will lapse on 26th and as you may be aware, the House is due to proceed on recess today. This House being too busy, the Committee has not had a break, we had a vigorous budget process and the Second Supplementary Budget Estimates, 2018. This vetting process requires attention. Let Members proceed on recess and come back fresh to dispense this important matter. The extension will also allow the technical team to carry out proper background checks on the three candidates to enable Members make informed decision after proper analysis of ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to move and request Hon. Sankok to second. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. I can confirm to this House that we have a very able Committee headed by Hon. Wario. If given the chance to handle the issue, I can confirm to this House that we can give a very comprehensive report on the same. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for giving me this opportunity to make my comments. I support the amendment of an additional amount to this Vote. However, I want to extend my contribution towards teachers’ shortage. Currently, we have a shortage of 100,000 teachers. We have not even captured any figure in this Budget. We do not even have a single cent to recruit teachers. We are planning to recruit teachers through the Supplementary Budget. That is an afterthought. It is unfair. Why do we keep on saying that we have free day secondary and free primary education in this ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me this opportunity to make my comments on the Vote. I believe the Kshs6.9 billion is inadequate to support our industries. One of the key pillars of the Jubilee Government is manufacturing. If we only allocate Kshs6.9 billion towards that sector, I believe it is really inadequate. view
