• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Although I rarely agree with Hon. Anthony Oluoch, on this issue, he is perfectly right. The interest rates charged by the mobile money lending applications do not include facilitation and transaction fees. The loan is accessed through one’s mobile phone and one has to incur a lot of transaction fees to send the money to their bank account, withdraw or send it to whoever they want. So, we really need to ask the Communications Authority of Kenya and other institutions to control these money-milking machines. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view

• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I oppose the deletion of the words “from a marginalised community” because nothing about us without us. There is no way we can be having a fund targeting the marginalised communities and then you appoint somebody from a non-marginalised community. It does not make sense. If you represent persons with disabilities, you must be one of them. If you are representing a fund that oversees issues of marginalised communities, you must come from a marginalised community. I totally oppose. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I apologise because I almost fell down and my crutches almost hit him. So, I apologise for almost falling down. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The reason we have such funds and boards is because the Government wants to give the private sector a chance to bring their expertise into the management of Government resources. So, when we have more of Government membership in the board, it should just remain as a department of the Government instead of having it as a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency (SAGA) which, of course, is not autonomous. So, I oppose. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The Member cannot misinform the House that principal secretaries are supposed to sit in the board because of implementation of projects. The board is supposed to be a decision and policy making organ but not an implementing organ. The principal secretaries can sit in their offices and implement but the decision and policy making organ, which is the board, should be left independent. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I really support that amendment. It is good so that, at least, everybody has a chance. Even if you are the minority, you also have a chance. I support what Millie Odhiambo said. She is the one who was used to singing. She also has to confirm that she was used to abusing the President. She is now lecturing us on how to respect a President we voted for three times, four times, in fact. The President belongs to Jubilee. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is very important. We support it because they will consider projects and approve them. It will be a semi-autonomous Government agency. We need to give it autonomy by not considering only but by approving projects. Once they have approved, the work of the ministries is to implement. view
