  • 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The issue of e-health cannot be timely. During COVID-19, we thought that we could not address our business virtually. However, we had a lot of committee sittings and transacted a lot of business in the comfort of our offices and homes. This shows that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the way to go not only in terms of holding our meeting via Zoom but also in terms of healthcare, tourism, education and every sector. Therefore, this Bill cannot be timely. Let us encourage Hon. Wanga and support this Bill. Let us pass it. Most importantly, let us see its ... view

  • 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this well-done Report by the Special Funds Accounts Committee. view
  • 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: I have very few and critical points. One of them is that in the Report there is a Ksh7.8 billion provision for non-performing loans that were advanced to the defunct companies such as Muhoroni, Chemilil, SONY and Mumias. These companies are under receivership. The question about the sugar industries and their revival has been the discussion of almost every political regime. When you follow the politics of this country, the politics of sugar is a critical element of the Western bloc. That is why everyone who aspires for a national position will use this as a basis for their campaigns. view
  • 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: One key thing I would want to see from the Report is who exactly are these people who owe money to the tune of Ksh7.8 billion and it has not been recovered. This comes at a time when as a country we are unable to agree on how to share the revenue between the national Government and county governments. Yet, Ksh7.8 billion is lying with people who had borrowed this money, are not willing and have refused to pay it back. As a result, this issue has been recurring since 2017/2018, 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. view
  • 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: So, there is need for the said agencies to act in speed and ensure that the people who owe this money get to pay it back. We cannot keep talking about how we do not have money to develop our country and yet, this money is lying in the hands of Kenyans. For example, we have students who have taken Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans but their failure to pay them within one month attracts serious penalties. view
  • 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: We have people who take simple Fuliza loans and get knocks on their doors every time being asked to pay these loans. Then, we have this other groups of Kenyans who have Kshs7.8 billion owing to the Government and they do not pay. I also note that the Report submitted today is from 2017 to 2020. This therefore begs the question about the usefulness of this Report in terms of our policy- making. This leads to the other conversation we were having when the Chair mentioned that the delayed hiring of the Auditor- General could have led to this. This ... view
  • 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for according me this opportunity. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning led by Hon. Limo. Out of the two Finance Bills we have done before, this was the trickiest one. At one point we were looking at the suffering of Kenyans. We wanted to have a budget that will revamp our economy and collect money that will ensure we protect the vulnerable from the effects of COVID- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
