13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
The other issue is the Energy Act No.12 of 2006. This Bill proposes to amend Section 67 of the Energy Act of 2006. It is very sad that this House has passed the Energy Bill. The Bill has been in the Senate for the last six months. We are amending the Energy Act of 2006. The Vice Chair of the Departmental Committee on Energy is sitting here. These are the times when we ask ourselves why must it go to the Senate and die there. It died there in the 11th Parliament. It is now going to die again because ...

amending Section 67 of the Energy Act of 2006 to give additional functions to Rural Electrification Authority (REA). One of the functions is to have collaboration with county governments and other agencies in facilitating supply of electricity in order to promote development of appropriate local capacity in manufacturing so that our county governments do not sit. If they want to put money and resources and partner with REA to make electricity accessible to as many people as possible in that county, then this law is opening that window.

Of course, there is the famous SACCO Societies Act No.14 of 2008 which Hon. Maanzo was talking about. Hon. Maanzo is a good friend of mine but he needs to declare interest in this matter. This Bill proposes to amend the SACCO Societies Act in order to create exceptions to the restricted investment that a SACCO society is permitted to make. The Bill seeks to provide for the establishment of what we call a special fund by SACCO societies. There is establishment of an investment committee to monitor and supervise a special fund and appointment of a special fund trustee ...

There is the issue of Macro and Small Enterprise Act No.55 of 2012, which we call the SME. The SME sector is the largest provider of employment to our people. That is the case in most countries, including Kenya. The SMEs are the major source of technology, innovations and new products. Today you will find innovations, technology and creativity in SMEs. What does this Bill want to do?

13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, when you provided these gadgets, they have internet. Even in five minutes, as I am talking, one can Google and check whether camel milk is medicinal. That is what the Hon. Member for Gem did. But, we have people behind here who are computer illiterate. The Member for Aldai cannot even know how to produce the Order Paper from this gadget. It is complicated for him to know the medicinal value of camels. The second one is a gynaecologist. We know gynaecologists are experts only in certain parts of the body. They cannot…

Dr. Pukose is a good friend of mine. If you allow me, you know how the Hon. Member for Aldai behaved at the time of the Sugar Report. He is a man with tantrums. I want the Clerk of the National Assembly to do induction course on how these gadgets are used. The essence of the internet here is for you, as Hon. Millie Odhiambo is talking, to check that item so that you do not raise points of order. They are here. Because we are many, we have a lot of handicaps. So, we can…. Let me go to ...

Even a smart phone can do better. Thank you, Member for Gem. You know you replaced a very intelligent man. You are also intelligent. The people of Gem did not make a mistake. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

The next one is on SMEs. Nobody is forcing anyone to drink camel milk. In fact, it is very expensive. Some people cannot even afford to buy it. It is not like goat milk. We are not forcing, it is out of choice. The SME sector is the largest provider of employment in most countries including Kenya. They are also the major source of technological innovation, creativity and production of new products. They are essentially very competitive and efficient in how they work. The Bill therefore seeks to amend the Micro and Small Enterprise Act to create a conducive environment ...

This Bill proposes to amend TVET so that we include the National Treasury Principal Secretary as a custodian of resources in our country. It is proposed that he becomes a member of the certification council. Lastly, I just want to touch on the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 No. 33 of 2015. This Bill seeks to amend that Act to make provision in relation to the board and the process of procurement by public entities. This is where I saw the Member for Mathira writing a letter to you to amend the Act. If he is here, this ...
