• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to the best of my understanding, the best course of action would have been for the CRA to propose the criteria, for instance, in terms of population, land or geographical area and allocate the amount each should get. It should then recommend to the Senate and the Senate comes up with the final formula. That formula should be provided as a Schedule in this Bill and it is for us to discuss that. This has major implications. I have done calculations which show that, indeed, the way we have been giving money to the respective counties ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just to mention, it comes in form of a Report, but I am talking from my own understanding. It ought to come in form of a law. It should be captured in this Bill. Finally, I raise the issue of Quorum. We do not have quorum in the House. view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairlady. May I call upon Members to look at this clause kindly, or be very attentive. This is the key clause in this Bill. If you pass it as proposed by the Chair, what will be the effect? It will mean that those people who will be giving you advice on matters pertaining to security exchange will now be people who have done a certain exam that is administered by KASNEB. In a nutshell, the effect of what the Chairman is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: proposing will be that this profession will strictly be for a certain calibre of people. To me, that is wrong because that is not what other professions do. If for instance, you want to be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and you have a Bachelor of Commerce Degree from any recognised university, you will get an exemption. They will confirm the units you have done and then give you an exemption. This clause does not give you that exemption. So, the effect will be that it is only those people who have done the examination that is administered by KASNEB ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The best idea would have been to open up this profession, which is crucial and growing. We open it up to people holding Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics as opposed to a situation where we keep it just only for a certain cartel; a cartel of about 20 or 30 people. We should move with speed and refuse what my colleague is proposing. We should refuse it and agree that we open this profession to people who have done accounting and economics. Otherwise, it will be a monopoly of about 20 or 30 people. view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Let me give you a final example as I sit down. We have actuarial scientists. Presently, the way we have framed our law, we have only eight actuarial scientists in this country. They are only eight and yet, we have people who have done a degree in actuarial science. We all know that if you want to do actuarial science in this country, you have to get an A (plain). That is if you want to do a regular course. You would imagine those people have joined actuarial science but, because of some laws that we passed here without being ... view
