• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The other recommendation is about the National Employment Authority. The only thing that the Committee has said is that there are many opportunities in Saudi Arabia. When you say that there are 55,000 Kenyans in Saudi Arabia, you would have wanted to know how many are casual workers, teachers or doctors and then you can say that we have opportunities and there are other people who can go there. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I reject this Report. This Committee should give us a better Report. However, I am not so sure that they have a Report somewhere. If they went there and they did not get the data, where will they get a Report from? This points out that this House should recommend that a team should go to the countries where there are problems so that we get a better report. With those remarks, I reject this Report. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This is an extremely important Bill. Early childhood education commonly referred to as nursery schools have been looked at as institutions you can put in the corner of a school, get anybody who has got some secondary or primary education to look after them, yet this is probably the most important part of education. Early Childhood Education is not to a large extent education per se, but it is to look at the development of the child in the earliest ages, so that education ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: If you have these massive changes, the preparation for children to get into these changes are key. Therefore, to look at it at this stage is extremely important. Whereas I accept it is a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: function of the county government, it is important to know that whereas we have 47 counties, we have one nation. Therefore, on the issue of standards, you want to be sure that if you are moving from the Rift Valley to the Coast with your child who is in early education, they are going to fit perfectly. What the counties do is to implement the policies and standards that exist. The county assemblies can oversee and can make minor changes, but the overall changes must be the same. Therefore, for the Senate to bring this, it is bringing a very ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: know how this child is behaving. Are there things we need to look at? Even some physical conditions need to be looked at. As children grow, you pick them up. So, this is important. I really like this Bill for all these things. The Bill also looks into the issue of accreditation. There are times when we have foreign schools in this country. They must be accredited because our children may go there. We should make sure that what they learn fits in our schools. The interaction aspect is also important. There is also the quality assurance aspect that has ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak on the Banking (Amendment) Bill. Banking is the key support system for business in this country and elsewhere. This amendment Bill seeks to find out how the banking industry can ensure that those who venture into business succeed. Business is the mainstay of any economy and the economic growth of a country because it generates income, creates employment, generates products that we can sell and get foreign exchange and provides taxes to run our systems. Businesses must be supported. The main support for businesses worldwide is credit. ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: businesses running, the little interest that they get and large number of people taking loans will be good for them. The economy will be prosperous. If you deny people loans because you think the interest rate is low, that is thoroughly counter-productive. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: There has been an argument that if the interest rates are low, then they would rather lend to the Government. This is a fallacy. If you are just lending to the Government that offers services and pays salaries… You cannot apply money for consumption and not for production. The banks are not sincere. If the interest rates are low, then they will only give loans to the Government. In the long run, even that argument is wrong. If the economy is not productive, then the money that you are giving to the Government does not serve any purpose. I disagree ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not happy. If you look at this process, from the time the Banking Act was passed until now, you will see collusion between the banks and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). It has come out clearly that the person who took the matter to court is related to the lawyer of CBK. I do not see why the CBK did not come out clearly and say that, as much as the Act was passed, there are ambiguities in it. There was no need to go behind and get a pupil in their lawyer’s ... view
