• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, having one person is riskier. I request my friend, Hon. Lessonet, that we leave the options at three. Let the chief executive officer plus any other two persons to be the ones to sign. That way, we can be secure. I read a story about the Youth Enterprise Fund Board, where the chairperson appointed only one signatory. Because of that, Kshs180 million was wired out of the Fund’s account. Therefore, it is risky to have two signatories for a public fund. It is better to have three signatories comprising of the chief executive officer and two ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the CDF Committee on this amendment because the CDF is a very important Fund. We should encourage a lot of representation. Bringing the education sector on board is very important because going forward; the CDF will mainly be dealing with matters of education in terms of giving bursaries to needy students, building of schools, et cetera . I also support the introduction of people with disabilities to the Board because the CDF is now the main development Fund at that level. view

• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: deemed necessary by the Board. I support. For Clause 13, people should relax. This is just a Board. The issue of salaries and wage bill should not even arise because it is a small Board. Education is very important. Let us not make a law because you probably hate a Cabinet Secretary (CS) of that Ministry or a Principal Secretary (PS). This law will last for 20 or 30 years. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment to sub-clause (1). I thank the Committee. I have also had issues with Chapter 6 of the Constitution. Chapter 6 only refers to State officers. I would like to thank the Committee for deleting that requirement. It has always been misapplied. It refers to State officers and not any other person. State officers are defined in the Constitution. The Committee was up to date to that extent. On the issue of active politics, it would have been fair if the Committee had defined or if there is a definition of the term ... view

In fact, the youth have the majority of employment opportunities in the CDF. Let us support the amendment because we want a very experienced person. You are one of the customers of CDF and you need a responsible person to deal with you as a Member of Parliament. You ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose this amendment. The Member of Parliament in the proposed law is no longer a member of the CDFC. Now you are telling the CDFC members to be appraising the FAM. That means the FAM will be under the direct control of the CDFC members and the Member of Parliament is not in control of the CDFC members. I would want Members to let the appraisal process to be done by the Board because this is an employee of the Board and we have a say at the Board level. I am only raising my ... view
