• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: When the first amendments came to this House, they were thoroughly criticised. The banks assumed that since this Bill would finally be assented to by the Head of State, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, who is a serious businessman in this country with interest in banking, he would not assent to it. They were surprised when the President acted in the best interest of the majority of Kenyans. As soon as he signed the Bill into law, it was fought immediately. The petitioner was trying to come up with reasons why the petition should be admitted. He went on to say ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I believe the President of the Republic of Kenya will again act in the best interest of Kenyans. I also believe that this House will this time round support this Bill in a big way. We represent Kenyans in this House and I believe, as a House, we act in the best interest of the common Kenyan who is not likely to grow economically by investing in businesses unless they take a loan. When retired President Mwai Kibaki became the Head of State in 2003, he encouraged commerce in the country and put in place a good atmosphere for people ... view

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: One other practice that Kenyans should adopt to check the banking industry is to invest more in credit unions, Saccos or saving through co-operatives. Other countries have increased the capacity of co-operatives. For example, some of the best performing Saccos are Harambee Sacco and Mwalimu Sacco and many others which save with banks. We should come up with amendments to the Co-operatives Law. That is because the law we are operating on is historical and was not well amended to rhyme with the new Constitution. We have many Saccos - including our Parliament Sacco – in which we save. They ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion.

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Modified Organisms (GMOs) cause cancer or not. Many scientists have not been able to agree on this one. As one of the MPs has stated, almost every MP has a relative or a friend who has been affected by cancer. Personally, my father died of cancer. Two of my uncles died of different types of cancers, including the cancer of the teeth. By the time those cancers were discovered by medical experts, it was difficult to treat them. Its causes are known. In fact, in some products, for example, cigarette packages, it is written that smoking is likely to cause ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: of the methods the doctors in this House have told us. They have told us what happens and the methods of elimination of cancerous cells. If we share knowledge on prevention of cancer, we will save a lot of money. Nothing can be equated to a life saved. As we pass this Motion, it is important that, as a nation, we keep sharing this message. I wish there were television talk show programmes where doctors can talk to Kenyans to pass this knowledge. We need to co-operate with communication agencies, radio stations and television networks so that instead of political ... view
