• 27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I thought it was okay. Let me just say in brief that we agree with the Petitioner that the KFS should reafforest the area but disagree with him that there is deforestation.

I believe that after dealing with the symptom, which is the fact that most of these ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: that no director who is not a member of the institute and has not gone through the training will be appointed. That is when it will work. Accountants that are trained at the Strathmore University are scared of being involved in corruption because they know they will be blacklisted and will have a bad name.

This Bill, therefore, just proposes to blacklist individuals yet it has no power to enforce the blacklisted individuals not to get another opportunity to bring down an institution. We, therefore, need to strengthen this. Government entities have ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hydrologist Bill and the foresters want a Bill to regularise their work, but all of them want the Exchequer to pay for their boards. This Bill is good. view
