• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to support the Report of the Committee. We should be able to approve it. Looking at the Committee’s findings and the time we have had devolution, they are quite interesting. We should implement what they have recommended. As mentioned, there are a lot of weaknesses in the current dispensation, hence the need for us to establish a committee that will be doing various things for this House. I have been very frustrated because there are no linkages between us and the national Government on one hand, and between us and ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Irrigation could walk with me and the county government to provide that very vital facility. Up to now, we cannot make headway because there are no linkages amongst the three organs of the government. Therefore, as recommended here, we should have a competent institution to oversee devolution such that various Government institutions can interrelate with county governments in a harmonious way. At the moment, there is nothing. We can talk endlessly and approve a motion after another, as the able Vice-Chairman of the Implementation Committee mentioned, but you will find that you cannot implement any of them. If we do ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Something about assets out there was mentioned. We do not know who owns what. When the oversight committee is established in this House, we will be in a position to know who does what. Lawyers may suggest we go to court, but how many cases will be taken to court and on what basis are they going to be determined? I am not a Member of this Committee, but looking at things today and the frustrations some of us are facing, we need to have it. As Hon. Millie Odhiambo said, we are doing quite a bit out there in ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. From the outset, I rise to support the Bill which is going to bring some sense into the society where people have suffered. There are glaring examples where people are suffering because somebody woke up one morning and convinced them to come together and called themselves a SACCO. It is misuse of the word “SACCO”. It should be deleted because, as stated in Clause 27(a) concerning DTS, you will see SACCOs for everything. I have seen matatu and land buying SACCOs. In essence, we have DTS and we have had cases where people ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Bill will cure the issue of qualifications for directors and officers of SACCOs. Of course, we are talking about qualifications in cases where directors, staff or officers working in some of the SACCOs do not even know what is involved in giving out huge loans. There are cases where a person uses a thumb print to sign because he does not know how to write or read. Once he is convinced that, that is the right thing to do and the transaction is correct, instead of reading the regulations, he is just told that as a director, ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill is coming up with minimum academic qualifications. At least, we will have people who know how to read and write and people who has experience on SACCOs and understand how to keep money. This should be somebody who knows how to read a statement. If you have a person who does not know how to read a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: statement, he is just told “this is what the bank has said, please, sign here” or he or she puts a thumb print to say that he has agreed, that means he is in agreement with whatever transaction has taken place. The Bill will cure that bit. The other thing is that members of any SACCO need to update themselves on what is happening. It is very clear here that we will have a minimum standard at which people should be exposed. There will be regular residential trainings, benchmarking and capacity building where people will be sensitised on what is ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I wish to declare my interest. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. I am, therefore, addressing this Parliament from an informed position. First and foremost, the marketing section of livestock products must be streamlined. As it has been mentioned in the memorandum, there are quite a number of other entities that get involved. Therefore, it is time for us to have a marketing board to streamline the activities of livestock and livestock products to add value to the section. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: As we speak, I would like to inform the House that KMC had, indeed, requested for Kshs750 million to modernise and improve their functions and their equipment. This was reduced to Kshs550 million. When we met last week in a supplementary meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, that money was diverted to other sectors of the Ministry. We requested and directed the Ministry to take that money back to KMC, so that they can continue with the process of modernisation of that particular factory. I know it is in a very bad state. We visited it and ... view
