• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I am on. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second this Bill. All of us have seen a situation whereby some families were very rich but when the head of the house passed on, those families are really suffering. It is because of mismanagement of the wealth which the head of the household created. Maybe, they do not even understand how to manage the businesses and such wealth. Therefore, this Bill tries to cure that. One reason to set up a trust is actually to protect wealth so that it can benefit the generations to ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Bill. Digital lending in this country started in 2013 and there are over 20 digital lenders in the country with a total operation fund of Kshs4 billion, which is actually equivalent to a third tier bank.

Therefore, if they are not regulated, it is very easy for money to be laundered through them and cleaned in this country. It is also aimed at protecting the lenders.

• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: At the outset, I support the Bill because for any country to develop, you need a healthy population. People provide labour, which is a factor of production. The more people are healthy, the higher their productivity and hence economic growth. As a country we need to think about how to provide UHC so that everybody can go to any hospital and get healthcare. Healthcare in this country has become very expensive. There are very few people who can afford good healthcare especially during this time of COVID-19. Every day and week in our rural areas we are burying people because ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment because restrictive tendering occurs when there are very few suppliers for services or goods. At times, they can occur and it is very important to provide for them, so that when we have few suppliers for such projects, we can have this method in use. view
