• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: businesspeople who are looking for guarantors will easily get them. If the borrower is a genuine businessman, he will definitely pay. If he does not pay, then he will be subjected to forceful payment. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: We need to look at the reasons that make one to borrow a loan or to be guaranteed to borrow. You get friends to guarantee a loan and sometimes even those friends are not very well known to the principal borrower. In other cases, in-laws come in to guarantee people who cannot repay their loans and this puts to risk their property. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I want to support my colleagues who thanked Hon. Waititu for bringing this Bill. Alongside this Bill, there is also the Bill related to sureties and bonds in courts of law. Sometimes people are arrested and they ask their friends to stand surety for them, but once released from court, they disappear. We have to think out of the box after we pass this Bill. We must look at the laws that manage the aspects of sureties and bonds in courts, so that we can be sure that those who give sureties in courts and police stations are protected by ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I want to thank the Members and request them to support Hon. Waititu for coming up with this Bill, so that he can go on record as the one who saved guarantors’ property. view

• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I may not want to sound like I am overruling your comment about setting aside the Kenya Accreditation Service Bill, but I think for business already appearing on the Order Paper, there should be procedure in terms of informing the House what should be debated. Quite a number of stakeholders knew about this debate through television and I think we should have been given reasons why it has been set aside. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, who was the Mover of this Bill, to first of all thank the Members who have contributed to this Bill. You will agree with me that it attracted quite a number of Members from all corners, thereby making it a true national concern that nuclear power is a project that we need to embrace as a nation. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I sat here throughout the contribution on both Thursday and today. I have taken note of the concerns of Members. Some of them spoke about the disadvantages and advantages of nuclear energy. I would like to encourage them to look at the Bill and contribute more during the stage of the real law-making process, which is during the Committee of the whole House. I have heard concerns on the risk aspects associated with nuclear energy, management of waste material and examples of countries that are already disengaging from nuclear power. We have also heard of a Member who talked about ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: We have also heard about the advantages of nuclear power and, top of the line is that, it is cheap and will spur development, create employment and investor confidence. I have also heard that nuclear energy will take care of the perennial blackouts which will mean that we will have a stable power source which will encourage industrialisation. There is also increased connectivity. The country has tried to implement the Last Mile Connectivity but because of low supply of power, the Government is not able to connect all citizens. But with this cheap power, connectivity will be increased and that ... view
