• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to Hon. Sakaja, the Chairperson of The National Alliance (TNA) party, the issue being raised by Hon. Mbadi is totally different from what he is commenting on. What we are saying is this: If you are a Member of a Committee, you have sat in many sessions of that Committee deliberating on an issue, you have been paid the Committee’s allowance and you go against your own Report which you have said is the right report, we need to be guided by the Chair on how we deal with such a ... view

• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I apologize. I meant Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When we were discussing the Companies Bill, we changed the timing for debate and the moving of the Bill. This Bill is as equally important. It is a very voluminous Bill. I do not know whether we are going by the same rules or this is a different case. If it is a different case, I would plead that you allow us to make some amendments to the timings. This is quite an important Bill to this country. I do not know whether I am in ... view

• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to add my voice to this debate. At the outset, I support the Insolvency Bill, 2014. It is a very important Bill to this country bearing in mind that we have just concluded debate on the Companies Bill. This Bill is very important because it is reviewing the Bankruptcy Act (Cap. 53 of the Laws of Kenya). It seeks to encourage dissolution of non-viable and inefficient businesses for the benefit of creditors, shareholders and directors. Earlier, I had made an attempt to see whether we could get more time ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance also to say one or two things on this Bill which has just gone through the Committee Stage. I must join the Leader of the Majority Party in thanking Members of this House for passing this Bill for this country. I plead with the President that the Bill is assented to as soon as possible. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: My constituency, Kitui Central, has two or three people who were jailed somewhere out there in this world. We all know that being in jail is not good. It is a bad experience. It is even a worse experience when you are in jail outside your country. Imagine somebody is out there in China in a jail where maybe the language spoken there cannot be understood. So, this Bill is going to go a long way in ensuring that Kenyans who commit criminal offences, or whatever offences, out there and they are jailed, will serve their jail terms in this ... view

• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance. I support the adoption of this Sessional Paper on national productivity, bearing in mind that this is an important policy statement to this country. The whole essence of this Sessional Paper is to ensure that there is effective production and, at the same time, ensure that productivity issues are managed properly. The end result of that is to have low cost goods and services. Those of us who have a bit of background in economics know that when goods and services are priced in a fair manner, then the ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: financially or resource-wise, the Government should go that extra mile to make sure that, that centre is supported. Improving our productivity rates will be very important to this country. The Sessional Paper is trying to address issues of weak human resource base and weak labour management systems. This is very important in terms of the way we manage our human resource. The fact that the Paper is appreciating that there is need to have that managed properly; that is going to be very good to this country. Another area which is very important to this country is the whole issue ... view
