• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Chairperson is absent. I have heard what Hon. Jude Njomo has said. Sometimes, when chairpersons of committees look at where the Orders are placed, they decide that it is not going to get to them because it takes a whole two or three hours to deal with one Bill. So, you will have, sometimes, to understand when they are not present. I will, definitely, communicate the same to them because it is important that they be not too far away from the Chamber at any one given time. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in light of the much publicised Maasai Mara Ng'ombe Kubwa, I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a list of all employees including top management of the Maasai Mara University and their respective counties of origin? (ii) What is the status of investigations into the recent misappropriation of funds at the university and action being taken to address the vice in public universities in the country? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide details and the process on how the acting Vice- Chancellor of the Maasai Mara ... view

• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. These amendments are extremely timely. Just before elections, some of our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: governors realise that they will not have another term. Some of them may have realised the ground is just too unfriendly to them and so, they may decide to use this as a campaign tool. So, I really support the amendment that there should be no initiation of procurement three months to an election. I think we should also think in the line of six months. I know we are supposed to resign six months before an election. We can tie them together, so that you cannot initiate projects six months to elections because they will leave the incoming governors ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. You can now contribute because I see you are now debating. You may end up tilting the views of the House. When it comes to this particular Bill, I do support 100 per cent. It is not a monster to kill businesses. It is a monster to make sure that it assists the small businesses to grow. It protects the small businesses from being swallowed by the big ones.

• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: You can imagine Nakumatt going under while owing small-scale business people a total of Kshs40 billion. That is not chicken change. That money in the pockets of Kenyans and circulating in our economy is big money. It will buy 26 million sacks of maize. But Nakumatt simply went under because a big business is swallowing small businesses - just like the proverbial biblical snake of Moses swallowing other small snakes from those wizards. A government is not judged on how it holds the hands of the stronger members of the society, but how it holds the hands of the weaker ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: . We have to protect the big business enterprises from swallowing the small-scale enterprises. We can only protect them by having an authority that is mandated to investigate. Sometimes, the buyer bargaining power rests in the big retail enterprises. Sometimes they use their buyer bargaining power to trash the small business enterprises. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me from Hon. Nicholas Scott Tindi Mwale, when he said that I am a nominated Member. We are equal. When Uhuru Kenyatta came to this House the first time, he was nominated. I am even better nominated because I ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: disabilities and he represents only 40,000 and he won with a margin of 500 votes. I was once elected the SONU chairman; the SONU President at the University of Nairobi, the cream of this nation. So, we should not be looked down upon. Lastly, let us deal with big people eating small people, big businesses eating small businesses. You remember the pyramid schemes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I remember the Pay Bill No. 672672, where our big politicians raised funds to pay teachers who were striking at that time. Where did that money go? We know that the Pay Bill ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The same people used Pay Bill No. 991444 to raise funds to go for a repeat election. That was a pyramid scheme which was worse than what we are witnessing now. We must have these authorities which can investigate this man eat man society so that big people with their businesses do not swallow the small ones. view
