• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this very important Bill brought by Hon. Elisha Ochieng’, the Member for Gem. When I came to this House, I thought the people of Gem Constituency had made a wrong choice by voting out Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo.

I remember we made some laws to ensure that at least money lending businesses have ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I will go past that, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, but you will add me some minutes because I am being rudely interrupted every now and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: then by people I do not know what interest they have in this issue. We are making laws and I have the right to debate as per my line of thought. If they do not agree with me, they can make sure that they convince Members to reject the Bill when they rise to speak on it. I am convincing Members to accept this Bill based on facts. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if I may table, in the first six months of 2019, Fuliza alone outpaced the loan book growth of any individual bank surpassing issuance by the closest lender ... view
