• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: remains that hon. Members who sit in this House are corrupt. I do not want to believe that, that is the position. However, the beliefs of the people can only be changed if we take time off and spend more time with our people in the constituencies to show them the kind of productive work we have been engaged in. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in particular, there are some great innovations that this House has approved as being part of Government policy. In particular are issues of the youth. Many people outside this Parliament still do not comprehend the ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: . When you talk about the stock exchange of any country, there is no greater measure of stability and confidence in it than the fact that it is operating properly. For people who are responsible citizens to go out there and claim that members of the public who queued to pay their Kshs1,000 to buy shares were actually using drug money, is unfortunate. With those remarks, I beg to support and ask that we use the recess to make our country look great. 4292 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 7, 2006 view

• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution. First of all, I want to start by congratulating the Minister for Finance for moving the Microfinance Bill. I will not speak for very long because this is the type of Bill that we should pass as fast as possible. Why do I say so? Many of us will remember the reign of the shopkeeper in the rural areas. This is a man who would collect all the money from women and youth groups and keep it in his view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: for safe keeping. Any time our people wanted back their money to do business, they would be told to wait until the end of the month or for two weeks. In the meantime, while the shopkeeper was doing business with that money, these poor people in many parts of our rural areas would not be allowed to get any loan from the shopkeepers. If they were to be given loans, they were asked to pay exorbitantly for those services. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all agree that we need financial services for our people in the rural areas. We ... view
