• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the appointment of these nominees to the Board of Directors of the CBK. I want to express my great disappointment at Members of this House, especially men, for ganging up against women who have been nominated. That clearly shows that we have a long way to go as a House in recognising the competency and ability of women appointed to these positions. The nominees who have been presented here have a wealth of experience that will take this country forward. They have significant experience as economists within the Ministry of Finance. ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The role of the CBK also involves the Government debt issuance. It is a key lender to corporate national banks. It functions as a bankers’ bank and administers external reserves, exchange and controls external financial relations. Looking at the depth of experience, I am The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: convinced Ms. Nelius Kariuki will be one of the competent directors, who will be extremely capable of performing this role on the board. When we look at the experience of Mr. Ravi Ruparel in terms of moving Kenya forward, he is very qualified. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I am highly concerned by the pettiness that some Members of this House are taking these appointments. All the nominees are Kenyans and they deserve to be appointed. They are neither strangers nor foreigners imported from somewhere else. When you apply for a position and you get it, this issue of asking or looking at where somebody comes from should not arise. Is it a criminal offence to come from central Kenya? I take personal exception to the comments of some of the Members of this House and the pettiness with which they present themselves. I support. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to make my contribution on this point. We fully understand that it does not matter when we talk about research and development. We know there is provision for expertise and training that goes on within the military, including the use of equipment internationally.

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: If we look at research in the academic field, we will realise that there is no provision that stops anybody within the military to pursue a PhD in whatever area of specialisation. We already know that there are members of the military who teach in academic institutions. We should provide for research, development and policy. We cannot say that we have specialised industries, like in equipment manufacturing in this country. There is standardised procedure in the manufacture of weapons in our ordinance factory. When there is a requirement for expertise and highly technical training, it is provided for outside the ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment. If we take a look at the chain of command in the disciplined forces, we will see that hierarchy is extremely important in order for operations to be carried out so that we do not have the kind of disasters we saw in some internal operations a while ago. It is important that the person responsible for a particular operation within the country bears responsibility and accountability in ensuring that proper deployment is done and people answer to their responsibilities. This amendment is of great importance and I ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment. In the world right now, security is not just under the domain of the Defence Forces. The approach that is being taken, especially by the NSC, involves all levels of security including intelligence. In our bid to protect Kenya’s borders internally and externally, this will ensure that there is a multilateral agency approach. It will also infuse expertise and professionalism that could be used to advise the President on security issues. I support. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Public Benefits Organisations (Amendment) Bill. We are fully aware of the good work that is being done by NGOs especially in areas where Ministries are not able to channel development to the local community. view
