• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the Central Bank of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: By and large, the people who are going to benefit from this digital credit facility are the people we have in the past – now the bracket has grown in a different proportion – referred to as view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: artisans . Certainly, now everybody benefits from it but previously, we used to talk about them in the name of Jua Kali. Studies on this industry started way back in 1970. The first study that was sponsored by the World Bank started in 1970. All through, we have had numerous studies. Our shelves are full of findings and recommendations that can help that sector to grow. They have always come with three things. One thing we need to make sure is available to people at that level and at the low cadre of our economy is access to credit. Once ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: The Central Bank of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, like my colleague Dr. Makali has said, is one of the Bills we should have dealt with at the very beginning of our term because it addresses the issues that Kenyans elected us to come here and solve. I commend the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, led by Hon. Wanga because within a span of about four months The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: we have the amendment Bill with us. The Bill is dated 6th April 2021. We are now in August and we have a Bill we are debating. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Without doubt in my mind, if we had concentrated on such kind of Bills from the beginning and reduced politics, as the Rt. Hon. Raila said when he addressed the nation from Nakuru the other day, and concentrated less on political rivalry in this country or within our own House, I believe this Bill and many others would have found their way here and Kenyans would be benefiting from credit facilities they can afford. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for finding it important to have this Bill with us today. Remembering that even when he was the ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: We are talking about ten million Kenyans, almost more than a quarter of the population of this country. These are people who we have wasted their time by politicking here for the last four years. If this is what we had focused on, Kenyans would be doing something different. We would have a better economic arrangement in the country and better economic growth than what we have. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: We must commend this Committee. Of course there are amendments we will want to bring to the table when this is going forward. Even as we start to regulate this facility, it is good to commend those who took it upon themselves and started offering the services. They allowed us to see the other options available or the other facilities that can be used to get credit facilities nearer to the people. In short, what I am saying is that Kenyans have been exploited for a while, while we commend the institutions that came up with these innovations and us ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: sell, including you, if you come looking for votes in Mt. Kenya with this kind of thing. If you come with other things, it will be impossible because we listen to money more than anything else. These issues are only possible if we have clarity of mind, unity in the things that we are doing, and reduce politicking levels in this country. I dare say that we should reduce the politicking that we have been allowing on the Floor of this House. We have had a lot of unnecessary noise from some quarters. I think the time of reckoning is ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am standing under Standing Order No.95. I wish to ask that the Mover be called upon to reply for the reason that we have exhausted debate on this Bill. view
