• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we miss the fact that those sparsely populated areas have an opportunity to give this economy the boost it needs because they have vast land. If Israel can produce oranges despite the fact that it is a desert, what about a semi-arid land? It can produce more. This is what inequality and injustice in terms of social and economic empowerment can do to counties. People are very poor. I am not saying that all people in big towns are empowered.

• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Provision of clean water and other basic services is also skewed. Up to now, animals die in northern Kenya, Turkana and Maasailand because of lack of water and pasture. They are vulnerable. If the rain fails, they lose their livelihood all the time. To me, if this Bill is passed and implemented, this country will be on the right path of growth. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to look at this issue in a different way. Some people might default not because they do not have money, but they do not want to pay. Those are two different issues. So, I want this House not to address it from one angle. There are many other Kenyan children out there who are also poor who need loans so that they can continue with their education. That does not mean that I am supporting the fact that people should be arrested because they are not paying their loans. Let us also ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: I agree that for people who cannot pay because they are not employed, the same way coffee loans and others are waived, let them be waived. However, have we analysed to find out whether all those people who are not paying are actually not employed? Are there people out there who are employed and are taking advantage of the system and, by extension, keeping other students who should have gone to school, not go to school because they are not paying their loans. Nobody has told them that this is a free loan. If you borrow from banks and everywhere ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: That is how I started my contribution. I do not agree with that, but a legal process should be followed to ensure that every person pays--- view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, then protect me because there are people who are attacking me. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The gist of the matter in this country is; let us address corruption. Corruption drives the youth out of employment. More people in this country are becoming poorer. Economies that we were at par with, have already overtaken us. Let us not just look at it from just one angle. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think we all agree on the same thing, and yet disagreeing. In my view, if the cartels want the lack of a framework, the fact that we had our Bill first and it went through, then these people put another Bill through the National Assembly, through all that, all they want is to cause confusion and we should not allow them. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: We owe it to the workers of the county governments that they have something to retire to and look forward to when they are in the age where they cannot generate income. Let us not allow the cartels to win by dropping this Bill; let us just pass it. view
