• 16 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the proposed amendment by the Chairman. We have been told that the worth of the assets at Waqf is around Kshs9 billion. Therefore, whatever is being proposed will act as a safeguard to ensure that there is another level that can cross-check before a disposal is done. I support. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. I wish to make it very clear that I support this Bill because it is timely. For information purposes to my colleagues, we already have the Wakf Commissioners of Kenya that is already operating and existing in this country but it is mostly felt in the coastal region. However, the current laws that we have that are managing the Wakf Commissioner of Kenya are pre-colonial. These are the laws that were enacted in 1948 and are not in line with our ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: The law currently being proposed will address so many issues. First, is the issue of transparency because as we speak there are two types of Waqf; we have a private Waqf and public Waqf. The private Waqf is where a member contributes his assets to help his own family. We have a public Waqf whereby whatever you contribute goes to help the public at large. I agree with my colleagues when we come to the Third Reading during the Committee of the whole House, we will bring amendments. This is because we need to address the issues of private and ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Today, we have so many assets belonging to the Muslim community that have never been claimed. Yet, we have a WAQF Commission of Kenya which does not have powers and means of claiming those assets, to ensure they support and propagate the welfare of Muslims and less fortunate ones in the society. This has been brought about because of lack of faith and confidence of the WAQF Commission that exists at the moment, because of the gaps I have just mentioned. That, we do not know how this Commission is selected, management of their funds or how much funds or ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Kshs12,000 a year. You can imagine the kind of revenue that is being realised out of that land but at the end of the day, we do not know how these funds are channelled and where they go. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks I wish to fully support this Bill. I wish my colleagues understand that we are not fighting any religion in this matter but trying to bring sanity in the laws we have by aligning them with the Constitution 2010. With those few remarks, I fully support it. view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Consideration of the Budget Estimates for the 2021/2022 Financial Year. First and foremost, I wish to appreciate the good and timely work that was done by the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations. However, yesterday, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) presented a Report here, the Report on the Financial Performance of the Government for the 2017/2018 Financial Year. There were a couple of issues that stood out. One of them was about pending bills. Pending bills have been skyrocketing. This has affected the Small Medium ... view
