• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.258/2018 to the Cabinet Secretary of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware of the deplorable and bad state of Nakuru- Njoro-Molo Road, especially the stretch from Njoro to Molo? b) Considering the importance of the said road as it is used as a by-pass by motorists avoiding Nakuru-Salgaa-Sachangw’an-Total Road, and as the only tarmacked road linking Njoro-Molo and Kuresoi South Constituency, what measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that this road is repaired? view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill of 2018. Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies have been recognised as great mobilisers of resources across the world. In Africa, 7 per cent of the African population is affiliated to SACCOs. Closer home, 69 per cent of Kenyans draw their income either directly or indirectly from the SACCOs industry. In our economy, up to 25.6 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product is contributed by SACCOs. But the interesting factor is that SASRA was not established until 2009 yet cooperatives had been with ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: and matatus should belong to SACCOs. We have had people who form a SACCO overnight, they register members and get licences. If they get revoked, millions of deposits in Kenya shillings are lost. We have several SACCOs that have gone under. Members have tried to seek reimbursement of the savings of their shares but, it takes forever. This Bill provides that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: after the revocation of a licence of a SACCO, liquidation should start immediately. In this liquidation, the payment of the members’ savings and shares is among the first charges. Therefore, this piece of legislation will make our SACCOs do their business prudently, efficiently and continue promoting our economy. With those few remarks I beg to support this Bill. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to the Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill of 2018. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: In 2010, we voted for the new Constitution. This legislation shows us that we are serious in the implementation of the Constitution. Hon. Kioni said that implementation of the Constitution is not a one day thing but something we can do in a lifetime including passing pieces of legislations to support the implementation of this Constitution. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The Second Schedule gives a format for county information that should be available and should be handed over to the new governor. In addition to the list of assets and liabilities and reconciled bank accounts of the county, I am looking at very important data of the county staff establishment per department. We have had as issue of county staff, especially during the handing over where every new governor that comes in, the first thing they do is to do a staff audit of the employees of that county. As a result, we lose competent staff in our government especially ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: There is also a clause that says that county executive officers in counties should pass legislation in counties to enable this Bill and add provisions so that they give it meat. That should be tailor-made to suit these counties. This, if taken seriously by MCAs and the county executive officers, will ensure smooth running of our counties. With the enactment of the new Constitution, we created 47 governments. As a result we created different centres. If you take the issue of water as an example, we ended up with 47 ministries of water! That tells us, maybe as a House, ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With that, I support this Bill. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Government Contracts Bill (National Assembly No.18 of 2018). In this financial year, we passed a Kshs3 trillion Budget. Of the Kshs3 trillion, 38.9 per cent was supposed to go to development. This development is what will be anchored in law through the Contracts Bill No.18 of 2018. Earlier today, there was an interesting conversation all over the country about the two-thirds gender Bill. Contracts in this country are also guided by a presidential decree for access to Government procurement. In as much as we are fighting for our women’s ... view
