• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: of this country go to public health facilities to seek medical services. Is this Bill not telling Wanjiku “sorry, go get a private insurance cover first and use it before you access your NHIF cover”? This is what we need to deal with when we come to the Committee of the whole House. How many Kenyans can afford to get private insurance covers? I think we need to tell Kenyans the truth that this Bill clearly negates the right of every Kenyan to access universal healthcare. Hon. Speaker, the second point which is still worse is that this Bill has ... view
• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: industries. The moment you tell them that they have to make a matching contribution for the people they employ, because they work with small profit margins, they will lay off their employees. They will reduce the numbers. view
• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: For a person who speaks and believes in the hustler nation, this Bill is not in tandem with the philosophy of the hustler nation, which I believe in of late. The Bill ought to have provided incentives for employers to reasonably contribute to the fund. I had to read and discuss the Bill. I am sure that in consultation with the Leader of the Majority Party, we will look at those clauses. Clause 13 is creating a punitive penalty both for Wanjiku and the employer who fails to contribute to the fund. That is very unfair to Wanjiku who is ... view
• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Member is a good friend of mine. I will not pick a fight with him because he has a history. He was a politician during Moi's time. Therefore, he is my resource person. However, Wanjiku is now being required to pay 25 per cent of her contribution if she delays in paying as the required penalty. It is very important for Members to listen to me. For instance, if her contribution is Kshs500 and she delays in paying, she will be required to pay Kshs125 for every delay in remittance. During these hard economic ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I really want to thank Hon. T.J. Kajwang’. His opening remark was that he has been around. Let me say I have been around more than him. Let me jog his memory because I was the founder member of ODM, his current party, and in the 10th Parliament when we were electing Speaker Marende, and Members like Hon. Washiali will agree with me, under the direction of his party leader, we came to this House. First, we were put in a hotel in Karen KCB Leadership Centre. We came to this House wearing the ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: purported to swear in Baba contrary to the Constitution. Let us not have double standards. Hon. Speaker, you know the mode of dress. I want to say it for free. If the yellow ties and the dresses are a problem to you, you have to prepare yourself psychologically because you are going to see it in the near future. It is the current and the future. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was finishing. I am a ranking Member. I have been here since 2008. That is why in your wisdom, you did not follow what the Speaker of the Senate did to allow the Senator for Narok… I will wear my mask. It is a good day for me today. You did not allow the way the Speaker of the Senate allowed the Senator for Narok to come with his shuka . None of the Members is wearing a shuka . The ladies are dressed nicely and beautifully in yellow. The men are dressed in one of the ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I really want to thank the Majority Whip for struggling with this Waqf, which he does not really understand much. This law existed in 1951. It is called the Commissioners of Wakf, 1951, Legal Notice No.109. What is Waqf? Waqf is endowment of property in accordance with Islamic principles and is used for charity. It is an endowment made by a Muslim to a religious, educational or a charitable cause. This is drawn from the Holy Scriptures, the Quran. I really want to ask my colleagues from the Christian faith to borrow a leaf from ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: regions. This endowment fund must now cover the whole country. That is why we are saying even their representatives must come from the eight former provinces. What are the conditions for Waqf? Number one; there must be a permanent dedication. It is something based on the faith and drawn from the religion. It is something that must have a permanent dedication on the person who is donating. Two, there must be competence on the part of the person giving. In Islam, when one passes on, the law of inheritance comes into effect. So, even when one is a father, he ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: The many Islamic institutions that we see today, the big mosques in Nairobi and in other parts of the country, were done within the framework of Waqf. I ask my colleagues to understand that this is of religious and cultural importance. I am sure when we come to the Committee of the whole House, we will fine-tune it. The Bill is good. The ultimate is for the less fortunate and the charitable aspect of the religion not to depend on other people. view
