• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill by Hon. Washiali, the Chief Whip emeritus, and still remains our Chief Whip in the Kenya Kwanza establishment in the country. It is a timely Bill that seeks to bring insurance professionals under one roof. This is the roof that is going to ensure that these professionals, like most in the country, are well regulated and render their services professionally. There has been hue and cry that the insurance industry in the country is haphazard. They have been comparing it with that of engineers and quantity ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: go out there, get whatever piece of work that is available and that looks like it is an insurance company and you find them in cahoots with possibly, unscrupulous advocates trying to make cases out of this. The Law Society of Kenya has put many restrictions on such advocates, but the insurance industry does not have a way of controlling these unqualified persons. It also has no way of controlling brokers. As a result of which we have this mushrooming of all manner of businesses in the market to the disadvantage of those who are qualified and would want to ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me add my voice to this issue, especially due to the fact that in the western world alumni associations are important in the running of institutions from high schools to universities. I know, for sure, that some universities in Kenya, for example, the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) and the University of Nairobi have tried to form alumni associations so that they are able to tap talent from the old students of the universities. These associations are important. They are ordinarily used in fundraising so that the needy students that join university are assisted. ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue of debt in the country is actually becoming quite emotive. Everywhere we go, including the rural constituencies, you hear people talking about escalating debt. Therefore, it is vitally important that we separate other reports from other items on the country’s debt. We are not happy to hear what is happening in Zambia and other countries where debt is spiralling into unmanageable levels. Let us quickly debate and regularise what we are able to and inform the country where we stand. Everybody thinks the country is over-borrowing and soon we will be in the red. ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Let us have the report separately and debate it and tell the country exactly where we are in terms of debt matters. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.004 of 2022 to the Techers Service Commission: (i) Could the Commission explain why Mr. Kamui Joshua Munene (TSC No. 505757), Mr. Mutiiria Aron Mutugi (TSC No. 480686), Mr. Japhet Kirimi Muthwe (TSC No. 535767), Ms. Hellen K. Njagi (TSC No. 392191), Ms. Nyaga Priscilla Kagendo (TSC No. 366144), Mr. Peter Ntoiti Ngoci (TSC No. 508176), Ms. Rose Gatwiri Njeru (TSC No. 423450) and Ms. Purity N. Gideon (TSC No. 345212) who were appointed as Senior Teachers in 2017 are yet to be issued with letters of appointment as per the ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation regarding this particular piece of legislation that was brought before it. Both the Chairman and the Vice- Chairman have actually elucidated why we have to annul these particular Regulations setting up a new Fund known as Biashara Kenya Fund, and also annul the proposed revocations of the other three Funds which have been in existence in the country. Hence, meaning we actually revert to the position we were before these pieces of legislation were actually published and gazetted. The ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Having looked at the reasons given in our Report, it is clear that the Biashara Fund may not be friendly to those who are supposed to benefit from the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Enterprise Fund. This is one of the reasons that drove us to annul those regulations and the other proposed revocations so that we revert to the status quo; whereby we have the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Enterprise Fund, which we, as Members of Parliament, have some control over and can ensure are disbursed in a manner similar ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: to how we disburse the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) bursaries. With those remarks, I beg that we support this Report. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
