• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second. I would like to say a few things on this Procedural Motion. I opposed this list and I realized many Members had the same anger at the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has refused to implement the laws in the books. The law says that no bank shall institute any charges without the authority of CBK. Those banks look at your bank statement. I stopped reading mine because if Jakoyo Midiwo is helpless, what is “Wanjiku” expected to do? view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Lastly, the Governor of CBK must be put on notice that he is killing the Kenyan economy. We do not care where the Governor comes from, be it heaven or Washington DC. You cannot tell Kenyans that when you go to a bank to withdraw your money, you must say where you got that money from. That is crazy. Even in China, there is nothing like that. So many people are complaining. A gentleman I know sold a piece of land in Homa Bay two weeks ago--- view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, please, protect me from Hon. Arati. I realized the anger is still there. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me save the Kenyan economy. I will never talk about “Mr. Nyangores” here. That gentleman sold a piece of land for Kshs3.6 million. The money was transferred to his account. Last week, he went to withdraw Kshs600,000. The Co-operative Bank told him that he had to explain where he got the money from. It took him two weeks to go and look for the person who gave him the money to explain where the money came from. The Governor of CBK is crazy! view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We are Members of Parliament and we are in charge of the BPS for this country. Our laws, including our Standing Orders, contemplate a scenario where we must always have a Budget and Appropriations Committee. The solution we found to take us through the BPS was a temporary measure. As a member of the House Business Committee (HBC), a member of the leadership of this House and a person who raised this issue, we must find our way out of this issue guided by you. I would like to ask my colleagues to hear me. The decision lies with the ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Somebody must stop him because the net effect of that is that nobody will be taking his money to banks. He is killing our economy. He must be stopped. We must do it in this law because if we do not do it, as a Member of Parliament who is perceived to be doing well, you will not even be paying your employees. I am saying that we are perceived to be doing well because I know that many people here are not doing well. However, you have a constitutional responsibility to help this country. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Today, we had a lot of Committee confrontations. I am just from the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations where Members were angry at the Chairman, but we have sorted out those issues. There were accusations. We affirmed that as Members of Parliament, we always have reasons for doing certain things. In that regard, we sorted out our issues. On Tuesday night and during the leadership meeting at the Serena Hotel in Mombasa, we agreed that we must find a solution that only this House can make. As the leadership of this House, we must give guidance. We agreed ... view
