• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Welfare. I support this Report. There are a number of areas which I want to point out as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. First, we must accept that we used to have a problem with our workers in the Middle East. However, again, we have to recognise the effort the Government has put in place in the last one year by negotiating with three countries in the Middle East and going ahead to sign a bilateral agreement with them. What dismayed me is when a Member called this Committee careless and he went scot ... view

• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Okay, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me contribute to the Report. I happen to participate in a committee or organisation where we were dealing with migration of workers in this country, especially health workers, and we came to learn that we cannot stop workers from migrating. What do we do as a country? It is common knowledge to everybody in this country that our job market cannot absorb our youth. It is already bloated and we have people looking for jobs. When people look for jobs, whether we like it or not, they will migrate. Wherever they go, if the ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: However, I do not want to condemn the whole country because of that. This lady was conned by an agency which is not recognised. As the Chair was making his presentation here, he said very clearly that the agencies used to be 1,600 and because of registration, these people have been reduced to slightly over 200, which I think is a good move on the side of the Ministry and the Government. So, as a House, we need to go ahead and demand from the Government that those who have been given the job be gazetted, so that Kenyans can ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to add my voice on issues related to adoption. Also, I want to congratulate my sister for coming up with this good amendment. When you look at the whole issue of adoption in our country, it is a matter of concern. All Kenyans need to follow it very keenly because, ranging from our children homes to the level of adoption which we see in our country today, it has emerged to be a very serious business in our country. We need to put our feet down and ensure that there is a ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to join the previous speakers in supporting the Bill. Our main interest as parliamentarians is to defend the interest of Kenyans who elected us to be here and not to allow banks to exploit them. Trying to say that capping the interest rates makes many people not to take loans is a defeatist kind of argument since no one can go for high interest rate because it is high. What Kenyans are looking for is what they can afford and make their businesses work very well. As people who represent Kenyans in ... view
