• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: being familiar in the area. This would bring in objectivity and eradicate the possibility of interference based on the knowledge of their past. If this is followed, it is not only going to be good for county governments, but also employees. The feeling of self-confidence and adequacy for a job one has been recruited on merit is going to give one the drive to serve better and be objective in his or her work. If this is not going to happen, we will have a situation where appointees will serve for a period of five years as long as the ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The other aspect is salaries. Most county government appointees earn very hefty salaries. Their jobs are very lucrative. This is not something we can take for granted. They are people who are remunerated and hold serious responsibilities. So, these appointments should be done professionally. There is also need for harmonisation because we have officers serving in the same areas under the national Government arrangement. It is not going to be fair for an employee of a county government to earn double what an employee of the national Government earns. This is happening in terms of County Commissioners and County Coordinators, ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Something has been mentioned about the requirement of Higher Loans’ Board (HELB) clearance which may affect young graduates. The important thing to be considered is whether the candidate has been paying loans or not. As long as one has been repaying the loan, he or she should be cleared. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. I call upon this House to ensure that gender consideration, representation of the youth and people with disabilities are put in place. I beg to support. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will like to first and foremost thank my friend, Hon. Jude Njomo, Member for Kiambu, for bringing this important Bill to this House. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill has come at the right time because the banking system in Kenya has not been customer friendly. It has been operating on a top-bottom approach. It is high time issues that concern the common banker are put into consideration. By so doing, Kenyans will have confidence in the banking system and this will help develop the nation. There has been some level of impunity in banks in terms of interest rates. Somebody can borrow ‘x’ amount of money and within a short time due to some difficulties, they end up paying about 10-15 times more. The issue of ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, this Bill calls on banks that flout regulations to be held accountable and punitive measures put in place. This will ensure that if a bank violates the banking regulations, they are held accountable. The fine which has been proposed in the Bill of Kshs1 million shillings is quite adequate. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very brief. I will speak for only two minutes. I have a lot of respect for Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal. I am surprised that this point of order is being raised when I have been given an opportunity. It could have been very relevant when the Leader of the Majority Party was giving us free advice which some of us did not agree with. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: You can still support a regime by using informed advocacy. There is a difference between sycophancy and informed activism. Hon. Duale is in that office because he made it to be an activist and at the same he contributed to the party. Coming to the Motion on the appointment of Members to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I find it very surprising that this list had been withdrawn for certain reasons. When I consulted, I was told that the list was withdrawn for consultation. view
