• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: anywhere in the world which will opt to lend to the private sector at 14 per cent if they can lend to Government at 13 per cent. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: One of the other things we should look at when amending this Bill is capping interest which will be payable by the Government on Treasury bills and bonds. For instance, we should cap anything below 10 per cent on amounts which Government borrows for the 90 days Treasury bills. If we are to use T-bills and bonds to regulate the money market economy, maybe what it borrows for 30 days and below can be up to 13 or 14 per cent. But beyond 90 days if we are able to cap it to less than 10 per cent, then banks ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because it is very timely and will allow many Kenyans to access credit.

• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The most important is the issue of pensioners’ funds being used to offer services to private land owners since the land in Tassia has already changed hands. The new owners are benefiting unfairly in terms of having the facilities within the land they have occupied being improved at the expense of the pensioners. It worries me that two years down the line, the NSSF has not fully recovered the cost of the infrastructural development at Tassia II despite the promise they had made to the Committee. The NSSF is yet to collect all the funds from the people who purport ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we honestly had not anticipated that we would get to that Order this afternoon. Therefore, we were not prepared. As you can see, most Members of the Committee are not in the House. I pray that we defer this Order maybe to tomorrow afternoon. view
