• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I am also thankful to the Mover of this Bill, especially on the bit of ranking of schools. Ranking should not bring issues of anxiety to students and make them burn down schools. view

• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I wish to thank Hon. Jude Njomo for coming up with this well-thought amendment. This Bill has come about because of the wrong conduct of banks. On one hand, they are willing to charge investors or depositors high interest rates. At the moment, it stands at 24 per cent per annum. On the other hand, they are not willing to give us value for our money. Once you put your money in a fixed deposit, which they normally call deposit savings ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: inflated interests and are not willing to give their shareholders bonuses commensurate to the money they saved. I support this Bill. I pray that once it goes for assent, it does not come back with memoranda to defeat the purpose for which it is passed. view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to support this amendment. We have situations where middlemen and businessmen take advantage of farmers by filling bags to an unnecessary big height, going to an extent of having an extension of the sacks. When we standardise those bags to 50 kilogrammes, farmers will get value for their efforts. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to the Legal Aid Bill, 2015. The Bill is very clear that for one to be given legal aid, one must be indigent, a resident of Kenya and a citizen of this country. That is because funds and monies will be used by the Kenyan taxpayers to aid such a Kenyan. If one is a child or a refugee, one can also be a victim of human trafficking and become a stateless person. We all remember quite a number of people who have been deported and they ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: persons who might not have what we would call a locus standi in legal terms. The ones who would wish to just get into any matter because they know that, at the end of the day, there will be some little money for those who will be providing legal aid.

Those are matters where you would find land has been grabbed from a public institution. People who are not able to defend themselves in ... view
