• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to concur with the Committee in urging the House to, unfortunately, reject this Bill. I appreciate the input by Hon. Dawood. It is, indeed, important to balance the solution to your problem with the potential risks that that solution could bring and create a bigger problem. For example, if you are having headache, you do not want to take an overdose of medication that could bring further complications than the headache you want to cure. The first thing is to appreciate that the Bill is attempting to increase the limit from Kshs100,000 ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: situation in the 1980s, our banks mainly collapsed because of political machinations and also because some of them were used as conduits to move money from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) for political reasons. After the money had moved from the public coffers, through the banks, to finance, for example, some fake properties and titles in Karura Forest, the owners of the banks mysteriously disappeared. They made sure that you would not follow up to get the NSSF monies that went through some of those banks. Based on the experience in the ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: are not exactly very genuine in their business and because of that risk, we must look at the global practice. You do not use insurance to manage banks. You use insurance to protect against the unforeseen circumstances that could create a loss. You also look at those people to really protect the small savers, not the big saver. The big saver could also be part of that collusion. The other thing is that whole point of whether we are creating some beneficiaries from this situation or only looking at that risky behaviour. I think I have covered that point. A ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: The Kshs500,000 has already been updated. We do not need to update it so far. I simply cannot see the logic of the second issue of payment within six months. The current law says the payment should be done within 30 days. I cannot see the logic why we would be saying, “Do not pay in 30 days; pay in six months”. This is an automatic deletion. Obviously, the fine does not arise because we have already provided for 30 days. The only thing that is convincing is whether we should be paying Kshs500,000 or Kshs1 million. I cannot see ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking Members who have been contributing to this Bill. Initially when we started on this matter yesterday, I did not expect there would be so much interest, but Member after Member have been so passionate. This adds to the whole issue of water is life. We are a food insecure country and yet we can turn it round to make it food secure. Like I said in my moving notes, Kenya is endowed with such land mass, but only about 20 per cent is in use. I think the matter ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: end up with a situation like we had earlier of Members saying that the Bill has been closed and they would have wanted to contribute and bring amendments. This has been a very productive two days on this Bill. I also thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for bearing with this situation and conducting this debate so far and giving every Member an opportunity to contribute. With those remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, indeed, it was a sad evening. I take this early opportunity on behalf of the Jubilee Party, to send our condolences to the family, friends and the entire Ogiek community on the sad demise of Senator Prengei who, as you rightfully described, was a budding and youthful Senator whose life has been cut short by that tragic accident. In keeping with our traditions as Parliament, I would like to inform Members that we will be authorising on your behalf, our usual contributions whenever a Member of Parliament passes on. I expect your usual cooperation as we do our ... view

• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: It is a straightforward matter. Ordinarily, once Petitions is heard, results are given to the petitioner and the matter ends there.
