• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, let me say I support this Bill. I am a Member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. I am really grateful that we have really done a great job. Initially, there were two Bills which were brought. In one of them we had to do over 900 amendments. I want to tell members of the public - most of the time they have the notion that Members of National Assembly do not read Bills - that we read this one. We articulated ourselves on the Bill and thrashed out some ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: , the youth in Kazi kwa Vijana and other youth groups do this. They are in business only that there is bureaucracy that used to keep them at bay; they thought that forming a company was a rich man’s thing. The journey has been long. I think the first Bill was done in year 2000. The Bill was brought to the 10th Parliament but it lapsed. This time round I hope we are going to get it right. Rwanda came, took the draft and customized it. In business ranking, Rwanda is among the top 30 countries in the world with ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: parcels of lands. This time, with the new registration and also because there is that provision of transition, we will have to see who these directors are. We have had foreign companies come here, are registered in a dubious way, they do business with Kenya and once they get money, off they go. This is the right time to deal with corruption, because we are not going to allow those kinds of things. The good aspect in this Bill is the one-man company. This is what normally happens in Kenya only that because of the bureaucracy that was initially there, ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support the input of the Committee. They have done a very detailed and comprehensive Report. They have even given the way forward. I thank them. It is a pity that with this Report, the ongoing investigations, which have taken several years--- Even in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) list that was tabled here by the President, nothing has been mentioned about this institution. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: allegations are so grave. It was outright theft. By now there should be people answering for these things. It is high time that the Government checked on this issue of privatisation. Looking at the requirements in tenders, you find that the bid documents are projected in such a way that only foreign companies can bid for tenders. Take this case of Telkom Kenya and that of the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC). These are two privatisations attempts that have gone haywire. We have to have the courage and confidence to address these issues. These documents should be prepared in such a ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: When we employ foreigners, most times we do not even check their records. We say that foreigners inject money into this country, but nobody verifies whether they really do that. I hope that this time round, we will do something. The Government should be concerned. When these people are taken to court on issues of employees--- I think we should have a percentage of the assets of these corporations, so that we ensure that our workers are treated with dignity. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want your guidance. I am a Member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and I recorded my dissent on this Report. But, maybe, by design, the Chairman has not acknowledged that I dissented. I ask for your indulgence to know whether this Report gives the true picture of what we discussed in the Committee. view
