• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. From the outset, I want to congratulate the Committee for coming up with this amendment in the Insurance Act. The amendments, in my opinion, will definitely bring some stability and sanity in the industry, which has not been doing very well. I am also impressed by the public participation in this amendment Bill which involved a number of big insurance companies, save for the fact that while it was happening, they did not include farmers. The Insurance (Amendment) Bill should have taken into account farmers. Given the climatic changes that we ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: or agent of an insurer has received money from whoever he has advised to get insurance… They are basically salesmen; they go looking for business. Once you pay, 30 days is too long. They can divert that money elsewhere, given the economy is now doing very badly. So, we should give them as less as 10 days within which they are supposed to have remitted the money to the insurer so that we do not have this problem. I think 30 days is too long. There is temptation of thinking you will get some money to replace that and then ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think this is something we all have to be proud of. In those days when I used to go to primary school – and I agree with Hon. Mbarire – on Fridays, you would see the national flag flying. Recently, I went to a school and I was honoured when the head teacher requested the pupils to sing the national anthem. I was disappointed as a Kenyan. I was very disappointed that the pupils could not sing our national anthem. As it was fading towards the end, they could not even finish singing ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I agree that on national holidays, Kenyans should be free to fly the national flag. However, that has limitation. If we do not have limitation, people will misuse it and abuse our patriotism. Therefore, strictly on national holidays, let it be free. People can do what they want to do. They can fly the national flag. I will be proud to see people on the road and on view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: fly the national flag regardless of where they are going. That is okay. I will put the national flag on my house. That is okay. However, let us not go beyond that because we will not be able to identify where a government building is. This is because government buildings are supposed to host the national flag. That is the rule of the day. view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, on this particular day, I agree that we actually fly our national flags. We are proud to see that. I think it is okay but let us limit that to people who can fly the national flags. As contained in the proposal, we have the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate. I do not know about their deputies, and I will not agree because that is one sign of us having it abused. I do not know about the Deputy Speaker. I have no disrespect for anybody. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Who knows who is what? What is the difference between the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker? Some people are likely to use it for the wrong reasons. Therefore, I agree and I support this amendment. Flying the national flag on the national holidays will make us proud. I was in South Africa and I saw that. Recently, I saw China was having a national holiday in this country. They did not work. I know the Chinese work very hard; they work for 24 hours in a day. On that particular day, their national day, the Chinese did not work despite ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I support Maj. (Rtd.) Mbarak for this position. First and foremost, I take this opportunity to thank Members of Parliament who have condemned what happened in my constituency. I can tell this House that I am lucky to be alive because the police are so corrupt that even when I went to my constituency as a leader to quell the people who were irritated by what was happening, after killing two people on the spot, they could not listen to me. We need to do something. The corruption in the ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I support the special Motion. I want to thank the Members who have condemned what happened in my constituency. It may be you next time because of the Police Force. view
