• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I fear that this country may soon have financial challenges because of the level of debt. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I also rise to support the extension of time for this Board for a further three months. When the Board appeared before the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIOC), they made a case which we thought was fair. We have spent a lot of money on this Board. They have been running this exercise for many years. It is only fair that they conclude it neatly and give us a report. They should also prepare their records in all languages that Kenyans can ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Is it in order for the Hon. Leader for the Majority Party to refer to somebody’s religious background? That is a personal issue, unless he proves to us that the religion is interfering with his work. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I stand to support the Motion by Hon. Jude. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, so much for that correction, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Bill for the following reasons. We work so hard as a nation and as leaders to improve the economy of our people and all the money is kept in banks. Having high interest rates is counterproductive to an extent that the middle-income earners, the people whom we rely on to push this economy ahead, are not making money. This month, the women of Kenya and the world over are celebrating the International Women’s Day, whose theme is about gender parity. We can never dream ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: are struggling to do business. Many Government organisations lend money to women, but when they make profits from their businesses, they take it to banks. They are awarded tenders and yet when they go to the bank to borrow, the interest rates so high. Again, it is counter-productive. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: As much as we are hoping that in the near future we will achieve gender parity, I do not think we are going to get it. For example, I have a friend who borrowed money from a bank to build a road after being awarded a tender under the 30 per cent preferential tender rule that favours women, youth and persons with disability. It was when President Obama was coming to Kenya and she was told to do the road quickly, so that by the time Obama came, it would be ready. She was promised to be paid immediately. You ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: It is important that we put a capping or regulate this. We should not leave it to banks because they are in business. As long as they are making profits, they do not sympathise with the customers. In any case, they say that they have not broken the law. We usually come to this House to make laws. When we find that a law is oppressing the common mwananchi, it is our duty, as leaders, to bring it down. My rallying call to His Excellency the President is that he becomes one among many who will have sympathy for the ... view
