• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not support that amendment because if there is arbitration – arbitration is an ongoing process and we have seen it work – and the Registrar has already appointed an arbitrator, why would he refer again to the Cabinet Secretary per se ? I do not think there is any need to refer the matter to the Cabinet Secretary again because you will actually be usurping the role of the Registrar in his mandate to appoint an arbitrator. It means the Cabinet Secretary will have influence on the kind of arbitrator that comes in. I ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity and welcome back. I also want to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (No.2) of 2018. It seeks to make amendments on several Acts within that Law. I want to specifically point out two or three areas only. The first one is on the cooperative societies, on which earlier on there was argument on whether we should deal with it or not. I want to demonstrate to the House that the amendment being brought on the cooperative societies is not good for the cooperative societies. I appeal to Members ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this particular amendment seeks to create social impact members, who do not even pay membership fee. So, they are only brought on board as important members to influence the running of cooperatives but they are not paying membership fee. The law further says that these social impact members will be the only ones to lead in certain areas of operation within the cooperatives. In essence, the amendment is removing the democratic rights of the original or organic members of cooperatives to participate in the affairs of cooperative societies. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is actually removing the rights of bon fide members to make decisions on issues that concern investment committees and on issues that concern special funds within the cooperatives. It also removes the voting rights from the organic or the original members to make any decisions on special funds trustees. The cooperative movement began as cooperatives way back in 1908 and 1917 but later on, they also involved themselves in investment. They have already created investment units within themselves. They have created trustees within themselves but this law is bringing a new class of people, who have not been in ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Lastly, there is the issue of the NHIF. It is very good. If you look at the way the memorandum has been introduced, it is very fine, pleasing and good for everybody. This is because, among other things, it now brings in membership from not only the national Government but also from the county governments. It also brings in grants to also support NHIF without necessarily talking about the name because for me the name is not bad. It is good for this country. The amendment on the name is good for me. Above all, it is very clearly stated ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to assert that it is not in order for the leadership to say that we need to disband Bunge F.C. Bunge F.C. has great players including myself who is an ex-international. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Leader of the Majority, I want to put it to your notice that away from working for the teachers, I played for the premier league in Kenya, both AF.C. Leopards and also for the national team. Therefore, Bunge F.C. has the correct players except it has not been given favourable support to play well. For instance, the team does not have a coach and kits. Therefore, we should be appealing to the Commission to fund Bunge F.C. so that the players of great potential like me can produce their maximum. Thank you. view

• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The amendment being talked about is crucial. It is also happening in other areas and fields. Coming from the education sector and how we qualify people to go to university and other levels of education, a pharmacist is a very serious person. We rank pharmacy together with other top courses in this country. It would be very unfair for Parliament to legislate that 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
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: pharmacists be incorporated with other qualifiers who are at lower cadres such as people with diplomas or certificates in pharmacy. I beg to support that amendment. view
