  • 24 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by CCP Mokaya Magembe on credit professional regulation. This is timely. The only thing I would like to propose is to amend the heading of this Petition to include the practice and giving of credit in the market. There are so many shylocks in town calling themselves credit bureaus that prey on innocent Kenyans. I do not know whether to call them credit bureaus or credit giving organizations. The interest they charge the poor Kenyans out here is exorbitant and unreasonable. I once dealt with a Kenyan ambassador, ... view

  • 24 May 2023 in Senate: Khalwale, you remember during late President Moi’s regime, people were paying interest of up to 48 percent but President Mwai Kibaki brought it down. So, let us respond to the demand in the market and make credit accessible to Kenyans. We should get a way of helping Kenyans not to be subjected to this kind of mistreatment from these credit bureaus. So, I fully support and I hope the Committee that will be tasked with looking into this Petition can propose a good law that will protect Kenyans and also allow those who want to do business by lending money ... view
  • 23 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement that was raised by Sen. Kibwana. However, we should also not allow Sen. Cherarkey to mislead the House. We all know that the money that was voted for by this House to go to the counties as sharable revenue is Kshs385 billion. The issue of conditional grants is not the issue--- view
  • 23 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we rise here to speak, let us speak being conscious that as a Senate, under Article 96 of the Constitution, we were elected to defend counties and their governments. It is not our business to hold brief for the national Government. This matter will continue haunting us. I know that where I come from in the County of Nyamira and where Sen. Cherarkey comes from in Nandi County, people who resides in those counties, need medicine in hospitals. This is a devolved function. They also need water in those hospitals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we see ... view

  • 23 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish Sen. Cherarkey was a good student who listens. He should be a debater who also reads. If you read the 115 pages of the Finance Bill, you will see that there is a proposal therein to tax Kenyans 3 per cent in the name of housing tax. It is not a matter of gossip tax. I want to tell Sen. Cherarkey--- view
  • 23 May 2023 in Senate: You know you cannot raise a point of order twice. view
  • 23 May 2023 in Senate: Yes, please. Madam Temporary Speaker, lawyers are normally poor with figures. Whether you call it a levy or taxation, the thing is that you are raiding Kenyans’ incomes by taking away 3 per cent. Whether you call it Housing Levy Fund or whatever you call it, it is still a taxation measure. I was in Nandi County. I want to tell Sen. Cherarkey to put his ear on the ground and listen to the teachers, the boda boda and the hustlers in his county. They will tell you that they do not support this taxation measures. Madam Temporary Speaker--- view
