• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Motion as stated. Thank you. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, let me say that I support the amendment Bill. I note that the principal objective of amending the Central Bank of Kenya Act is to allow the Central Bank to regulate digital credit service providers and ensure that there is a fair and non- discriminatory market place for access to digital money. Regulating the digital market will really bring control. It will regulate and supervise the market. I note that some of these providers or the lenders, if you were asked where the offices of M-Shwari or Fuliza are, you will ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the amendment to the Kenya Deposit Insurance Act. I also thank my colleague for introducing this amendment Bill that is raising the figure from Kshs100,000 to Kshs1 million. That will cover most small depositors because Kenyans deposit very small amounts in banks. If they can recover Kshs1 million of their deposits, that will cover most Kenyans who have deposited in those banks. That would mean that maybe even more than 80 per cent of the depositors would get their money back and not lose their investments. They will not ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to support the NHIF (Amendment) Bill. Most Kenyans are neither aware of the NHIF nor can they afford to pay its premiums. So, this calls for the NHIF to popularise itself and make Kenyans aware of what it offers because there are very many Kenyans who are not aware of it. The other thing about the NHIF is that during the Coronavirus period, the NHIF has paralysed the activities of the small mission hospitals by not reimbursing them after they treat their patients using the NHIF cover. I am aware of ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: been mandatory since the NHIF Act of 1998, which states that any ordinary resident of Kenya, whether salaried or self-employed, shall be liable as a contributor to the Fund. However, in practice, NHIF membership for informal sector workers who constitute 83 per cent of the Kenyan workforce has remained voluntary. So, it has not been mandatory for the informal sector. Mandatory NHIF coverage will raise revenues for universal healthcare (UHC) and improve repayment of the financial protection. Currently, only 20 per cent of Kenyans have any form of health insurance coverage with 85 per cent of them covered by the ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the status of registration of elderly persons, and disbursement and payments of money under the Cash Transfer Programme for Elderly Persons in Kitui West Constituency? (ii) What steps is the ministry taking to ensure that all registered persons who have not been paid their monthly stipends are paid, and by when will this be done? (iii) What plans have been put in place for effective management and control of the Cash Transfer Programme for Elderly Persons ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me say at the outset that I have learnt a lot about the waqf and it is a very noble idea. It is a very good Bill but I also note that actually if we practised our faith properly and we are led as the good book says, we would not need many of these laws. I have also noted that the Waqf Bill is actually trying to provide for controls and bring sanity in the management of these funds, which have been collected for a long time. It is a very good ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: the sake of the poor. This fund should not be embezzled. It should be used for the intended purpose. So, it is important to have a Bill which will indicate who will receive the funds, how the funds will be processed, and who will be allocated the funds in order to avoid corruption. Also, in the case of family matters, the Bill should show how succession will be done. This will bring sanity in the management of such funds. Going forward, as I have said, it is good also for the other faiths to learn from this and see how ... view
