• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In this case, the Member is bringing a petition on behalf of a family which has been thrown out of their piece of land. This has happened with land grabbers across the country. We have private investors, individuals, who have grabbed land and people who have encroached on public land or forests and even in areas where public has interest. Therefore, I support the Petition and agree with the Member that it is necessary that when a Petition of this nature is brought, it is handled within the shortest time possible. You have directed petitions to some committees and there ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to also support this Motion by Hon. Waititu. It is fairly straightforward. It provides for the lender or bank to first exhaust all measures, including going for the borrower’s security assets, before going to the guarantor. Ordinarily, like my colleague, Hon. Chris Wamalwa has said we guarantee our colleagues in Parliament out of trust without bothering how much they are borrowing. I am sure the same extends to other members of the public. When they are guaranteeing their colleagues, it is out of trust. They know each other and they never expect ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on the amendment. First, this amendment does not only intend to lower the communication rates, but it will also accord an opportunity for a survey to be undertaken for a research and scientific study which will then inform the decisions. That is why I always agree with Hon. Ichung’wah because he comes up with very innovative and important issues. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: He has done very well and he owns the amendment, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: He owned another one before, which is the amendment on interest rates which was brought by Hon. Njomo. He did very well and explained in the media and other places. This is one of the Members who are doing very well in the House. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: The point I was trying to make is that as much as the intention is good, the goal is aimed at lowering the rates. It is important to note that we will do this while armed with all information. We should look at the market, the players, how it is unfolding and then we can make a decision. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I support the amendment. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute on this Motion about the Report of the Committee. I have not had time to peruse the Report. As you are aware, I just arrived in the country this afternoon. Having looked at it, I find this Report very important. If pursued and the recommendations implemented, it will go a long way in ensuring there is order in the industry and the players are organised. It will also ensure that the users benefit in all manner and this country also moves forward in terms of telecommunication, internet and business ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: One of the key issues in this Report is the rate. This is not limited to Kenya, but the entire region. We move around the East African Community, IGAD countries and the East and Central Africa to do business, but sometimes communication is very difficult within the region. I do not understand because in Europe, you enjoy mobile communication, but when it comes to our countries in East Africa, it is very expensive. When you go to Tanzania, you find it very costly even to receive a phone call from Kenya. The same case applies to Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. ... view
