• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to urge the Members to reject the proposed deletion of those two provisions, namely, (i) and (j), because if we are talking of a revolving Fund and we are giving money that will be repaid without interest, it is important, for clarity and avoidance of doubt, that those two provisions remain to facilitate loan recovery from beneficiaries; indeed, we even need further mechanisms to be put in place. I am very sure that after this, we shall require to, possibly, come up with other new provisions. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I was suggesting - because I know I will be voting against hon. Jakoyo’s amendment--- I was proposing that since it is a constitutional requirement that when you are appointing members of all committees constitutionally, we are to take into account women, youth and persons with disability, I think it is not possible that Members will be reckless and irresponsible and fail not to bring those persons on board. I think we should be clear and drop this amendment because it is ambiguous and we do not need it. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to improve the proposed amendments by removing the word “establish” and replace it with “development”. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon.Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it will be discriminatory to allow this provision to pass the way it is. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Members have been raising that issue, that is 18(1)(d) and also (3), but I believe that (1)(d)(i) remains as a grant to beneficiaries who are not described and the religious groups can come under this. I am of the view that we should take the 20 per cent that has been allocated to religious groups and put it together with the loans, so that we have 80 per cent to women and youth groups, so that 18 (d)(i) and (ii) be amended to read that 80 per cent be given to women and youth groups as loans. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I feel what you are saying, everybody would like a grant, but we shall not be able to give some groups grants and leave out others, but they can be covered by the remaining 20 per cent. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: As you can see, there was the issue of the Speaker’s ruling. We are asking you to review your ruling, but we are saying the ceilings are not being affected and we are not increasing any money at all. We are just working with the groups that have been provided here and therefore, we will not have breached your ruling or the Money Bill Regulations. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My good learned friend, the hon. Member of Parliament, has referred to a document and he started by saying: “Let me read” then he abandoned it. If he is going to continue to explain matters that are within that letter for us to authenticate because we do not have copies of that letter, he needs to first read the letter so that we can follow the discussion from the wordings of the letter and then he can expound. view
