• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. We know that SACCOs control a very big part of the wealth of this country. We need to keep adjusting the laws so that we improve the environment. We will nurture them and support them so that they continue expanding. We know that SACCOs today are the best method of mobilising savings in this country. Going forward, we have to make sure that they are well supported and given an enabling environment so that they help Kenyans. Over 30 per cent of this country’s financial resources ... view

• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think that differentiation is very critical. It is critical not only for the sake of the amendments we are about to pass but also for the health of Kenyans. There is no way we can say an accounts clerk and an accountant are the same. There is no way. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, that is the way it is because a pharmaceutical technologist is like a clerk. I am saying you cannot call… view

• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the amendment. I want to make an appeal to this House. We need to know that our country stands because we have institutions. This country is different from the neighbouring ones because we have institutions that work. We should respect each and every institution and give it the latitude it requires to work. The EACC is one such institution. view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we allocated money to support the EACC. This is taxpayers’ money. We know that it is one of the best investments in this country because the EACC has a job to do in this country, especially at this time when corruption threatens the very existence of our nation. It is very important to support the EACC in all its endeavours. We know that fighting corruption is not easy as corruption fights back, as the Chairman said. We know that it will take a lot of money to fight corruption in this country. Our President ... view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: and makes laws is to support an institution like the EACC. The land issue at hand is very sensitive. I want to go on record as saying that even the criminals who are involved in this land matter were testing the waters. They wanted to do a bigger deal than the one for Kshs3.2 billion because this money is like a drop in the ocean. We know what Kshs3.2 billion can do to our hospitals, schools and roads. They do not care what happens to the future of our nation. view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I, therefore, stand with the amendment. Some Members talk out there every time they are mentioned in corruption. They threaten the EACC every time they know that somebody is investigating an issue about them. They threaten to bring a Motion in this House to disband the EACC. I want to say that many of us will stand with the EACC. We want to tell them to do their job. They will not be disbanded through this House because this House does not support corruption. We support good use of the meagre resources that this country has. view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the amendment. view
