• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I wondered where auditors get those policy contributions. The question should be, if the policy is clear, then the auditor has no issue about merits or demerits which belong to the leadership that is determining the policy. So I support this amendment. view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, the House must grow teeth, must show teeth and must use them. In order to proceed, we must emphasize that this Chamber shall not act for nothing. You cannot have 435 elected Members of this Republic who are leaders pass a resolution here and somebody ignores it. That is what has been going on. We need to change the kind of resolutions we make. All resolutions will be made with a view to implementation. So, resolutions addressed as “urges, recommends, beseeches and pleads” should not be done any more. We either ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have a difficult situation here. We do not have a solution in this Report as much as I am supporting it. When you refer a report to the CID or the EACC, what outcome will you expect? They will investigate with an objective of prosecuting somebody. Therefore, if there is nobody to prosecute, the CID will The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: say that they have no evidence to prosecute anybody. The EACC will similarly say so. If you leave the matter to be determined in court, the court will rely on what the plaintiff and the respondent will say. If the right ownership is not in court, we may end up with this valuable property going to one of the thieves. I would first recommend that the Committee remains seized of this matter and deals with the CID until they determine which way they will propose to proceed. They should also deal with the EACC over this matter and determine which ... view

• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank hon. Irungu for donating to me this one minute. I only have two points. One, the real challenge for HELB is funding. Section 12(1)(d) allowed them to borrow. They have not been creative enough in commencing the issue of loans at the current Government guarantee rates. It is possible given the current asset base of the fund to be able to issue long term bonds, to be able to fund education again at interest rates which would be pegged on the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) rate as of now. On ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On that basis, the next thing we need to do is to insure these loans. In Credit Life Insurance, if any of the borrowers die, the loan is automatically paid by the insurance companies. I am asking the Board to be creative. We do not need to add to the amendment but I hope they will listen to the advice and within the spirit of Hon. Irungu’s Motion do two things: Commence long term borrowing at Government guaranteed rates, insure the loans and three reduce the discrimination between JAB students and the parallel degree programme students. Thank you. view
