• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I do not think it is the business of any bank to sell homes or securities. The financial institutions should support the borrower and ensure that repayment is done. The banks must apply extra means to ensure that the borrower leads to the commitment. As a lawyer, I am aware that many guarantors have suffered. They are visited when the borrowers default and are forced to repay on their behalf. That is where the banks have a responsibility to engage the guarantor in better ways than selling their properties. Therefore, the idea which is being processed in this Bill The ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: by Hon. Waititu is to secure the loan in the first instance, so that the principal borrower commits and completes his commitment to pay. The guarantor should not be made to pay where there is no proper due diligence and exhaustion of the security of the principal borrower. The borrowers have given their personal guarantees. Therefore before the guarantor is reached, have they exhausted all the securities and means of the borrower? Many times it has been found out that banks react very quickly and require the guarantor to meet the responsibility of the borrower. In the whole set up, ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support Hon. Francis Waititu. He has introduced a good Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I placed an intervention because it was not clear what your ruling was on that point of order. I was going to join my sister, Hon Rachael to demand a withdrawal of that particular description. In fact, he has apologised and withdrawn but the HANSARD will reveal that he said: “Madam Speaker Sir”. There will be a problem there. This matter should not be taken lightly. Let him withdraw and apologise and recognise the correct gender. Thank you. view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President and record my voice and comments to the same. Many people have risen on this Floor and said they support, but I am unable to say I support wholesomely because there are many things that we need to say to give positive comments in terms of this speech. One of the things that I would like to say is that right now the country is supposed to be dealing with the Big Four Agenda from ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us deal with food security because we have not had rains for long periods and people have been dying in parts of our country in this 21st Century. Therefore, food security supported by agricultural development should be the first priority in the President’s agenda. view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, our people are still being locked in at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and other hospitals within the country. They are dying because of lack of medicine. We do not have enough facilities and so access to affordable healthcare could be number two. In whichever priority, I remain on those two. If we can move the country on those two, we will have fed the nation and taken care of the health and security our people. A country which has its people dying, inflicted by diseases everywhere is an insecure country. It is a country that will not do production ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Today, if you go to the streets in my constituency or most parts of this country, Kenyans will tell you that they do not understand what is housing because they have houses where they live. Some of them do not have but they are renting. When you deduct money from people and it is a mandatory requirement and the housing itself is by lottery, what are you telling Kenyans? Why should I contribute to a house that I will have to do a lottery, yet I do not know whether I will ever get it? This does not make sense ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: The President also mentioned the BBI and the handshake. As long as the handshake and the BBI are by two people, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and Hon. Raila Odinga, it has failed to extend to other people. Some of the people and partners in the handshake have clearly said that it is for those two. Therefore, it brings exclusion of some people. We need to be clear as to why we should spend money for the BBI and the handshake if some Kenyans are already starting to feel excluded. An amount of Kshs10 billion should go to affordable healthcare. view
