• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement is ready for delivery and I expected my Assistant Minister to give it, but he is not here. view
• 9 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, tomorrow morning. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to take this opportunity to issue the following Statement with regard to business for next week. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me, without appearing to anticipate debate, to point out that today we have, on the Order Paper, a Motion of Adjournment of the House to a day other than the next normal sitting day. As is the practice of the House, in the event that hon. Members decide to continue with the House’s sittings, we shall give priority to the business that is contained in today’s Order Paper. In the event that hon. Members ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter was raised with us and we had hoped that it would come in the next sitting of the House Business Committee, because we did not consider it on Tuesday; but it is scheduled for review and allocation of time in the next sitting of the House Business Committee. It is the First Reading of a Bill. I am aware of the matter and we have already scheduled it for discussion. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee doth report progress to the House and seek leave to sit again. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the import of this is for us to move to the main House and seek time to extend so that we can complete all the business on the Order Paper. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said resolution. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.20(2), this House resolves that the sitting of the House be extended until the conclusion of business appearing on the Order Paper under Order Nos.8 and 9 on the Motion for Adjournment. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the import of that is to facilitate us with adequate time to dispose of the business that we had set ourselves to do this afternoon, so that we can feel that we have not left any business unattended to as we go home today. Madam ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: I stand to oppose this amendment for reasons that Members need to be aware of. This amendment is proposing to say, for example, in the first one that wherever the Kenya Government has an interest in a bank, that bank will have its business capped by law, that it can only lend a certain amount. This means it is discriminated against its competitors. I want you to look at one specific bank. Part 16B says; “Where the Government is a shareholder in a bank or financial institution, the maximum interest rate that the bank or financial institution may charge for ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for the protection. Let us be sensitive to some of these things that when we pass laws in this House, the intention maybe good to protect people who borrow from the Government banks, but the same intention is a double edged sword. It will cut across and punish 78 per cent Kenyans who own the KCB, just because the Government is a co- investor with them. The bank will start performing poorly because whatever interest the KCB will be charging to any one is capped at 4 per cent. That is one of ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I said, the intention may be good but the execution of that intention - when done in law and done wrongly - could have some repercussions that we will not control. For example, if you control the interest rate that can be charged on the Women Enterprise Development Fund, you are saying that if we give you so much money, you should lend it at this. When you say that an institution that has Government shareholding can only lend at 4 per cent, you are basically saying that all the money that you receive ... view
