So, if you borrow money in the SACCO, if you do not pay for that money, do not think that you are off the hook. You can still be got through that web of information sharing. That is also very critical. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thirdly, it is on the qualification of the directors. Some of these big SACCOs have huge asset base.

• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the programme appears to be facing a number of challenges. In fact, on a spot-check of schools in my constituency, I observed that many schools appear not to be utilising the tablets provided as the teachers are not adequately trained or conversant with the gadgets. Also, there is lack of power connectivity and internet in some schools. view

Speaker, it is in this regard that I would like the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research to make statement on the following: (i) the level of utilisation of the tablets across the country; (ii) the steps being taken to ensure the programme is a success; and, (iii) the measures being taken to ensure that value for money is achieved through the use of the tablets. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view

If it was moved, then it was on Thursday, after the sugar issue. We will do internal consultation. view
