• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The success that we read in this Report is in the recovery. Hon. Passaris has alluded to this. I think the success should not be in the recovery but in what we have achieved. We have heard that some groups are buying and selling land. If that is an achievement, let us have it. But what have they done with the money? How many job opportunities have been created? How many people have been employed? We should move away from the issue of just giving out money and recovering it. We must get a report indicating that out of so ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, funds like Women Enterprise Fund and others were created haphazardly so many years ago. I am sure that the groups have come of age. We have another 50 per cent of the population that has been left behind. The fact that we are not helping men to borrow from those Funds is a recipe for failure of those Funds. You cannot continue talking about the success of a Fund that leaves 50 per cent of the population out. When those Funds were being established, it was argued that men would easily go to the banks and ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: When you talk about specialised groups, men in our rural areas fall in that category. The sooner we wake up to that reality, the better. Otherwise, they will wake us up and we will not be a happy lot. Not that they are any happier even as we speak. In talking about those groups and Funds, and the way we are involved in them, there is an issue that speaks to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) as we handle it. I know we want to create a Ward Fund, and that is a good thing. However, we are not speaking ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I invite Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal to be my witness. If we go through Ndaragwa, it is very difficult to associate development with any other institution. The little development that we see in Ndaragwa has been occasioned by the NG-CDF. I believe it is difficult for the people of Ndaragwa to agree to be divorced from the only institution that has helped them develop. So, those Funds are also associated with us. They are supposed to help our people develop. Even as we talk about the BBI, we need to see how to go about it. But let us not do ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not want to support the issue of creating structures for Uwezo Fund. I suggest that we merge it with the Women Enterprise Fund. Let us use the existing structure since it is working. That way, we will be in a position to use the money quickly. Those who have stolen must be arraigned in court quickly so that those who are not repaying can see that they need to be paying so that the money benefits others. I thank you. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving an opportunity to add my voice to the debate that is before the House. I support this nomination and commend the Committee for the work they have done. When I left the university and was employed in the Ministry of Housing—that was like my second or third opportunity to work in the Civil Service—I was placed under the management of Enosh Onyango Momanyi. I must say from the outset that when we were working together, we used to call him Enoch. This name Enosh is not very easy especially for those of ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: me get an ambulance in Ndaragwa. That was more than 10 years ago. And it is the only ambulance that is still serving that constituency. So, I have a reason to support him. Other than his good performance, he is also careful to look at areas that are not considered by many others. That was very important for me as a person coming from an area that really deserves. I am told from the Report that his net worth to date, which is a very important thing for us as Members of Parliament because we need to know whether we ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I rise under Standing Order No.95 to ask that we allow the Mover to reply for reasons that he decided to do everything. He did a very thorough job. Others are saying he is the best, but you remember what I had said earlier on. The contributions from the two other Hon. Members suffice because we are all in agreement as to the quality of these individuals. So, I ask that we allow the Mover to reply. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in supporting this appointment, I hope the pupils in schools and those who would want to be appointed to positions of this nature, can see what Parliament does. Clearance from the EACC and DCI, Certificate of Good Conduct and clearance from KRA. Let them work and be persons of integrity. Otherwise, they will never serve this country going forward. It is important for them to pay attention to the details that are being presented by the Committees. If you do not work hard when you are young to ensure that you are a person of integrity, ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I do not know what is making this Member look a bit funny. Hon. Speaker, as I second, I agree with the Mover that it is good to limit how much time one can use. Without dwelling on the one minute that we were given last week, at times, even five minutes do not make a lot of sense especially when you are dealing with people who are very knowledgeable in some areas. You feel like it is time wasted. It is not good to feel wasted The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
