• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Issues of circumcision in this country among certain communities are not even discussed and prices cannot be listed here. So, kindly and with a very light touch, I do not think that the Chair of the Committee is in order to proceed and give prices that are not really correct for all communities in Kenya. Thank you. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset I would like to thank the Chair and the Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives for having brought this Bill having explained that it was in the previous Parliament and “died” in the Senate. This is a Bill which is meant to be watched keenly. I have consulted with the Chair because I was looking through my background of having come from the teaching sector and trade union sector where we have established so many SACCOs in Kenya and we enjoy the benefit of having established and controlled the biggest SACCO ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: completely block out the venturing out of the new prototype of SACCOs that are coming up like the boda boda and other small-scale businesses which can have more money than the old ones. So that would be very important. Clause 48 is giving powers to the Authority to determine the suitable people to manage the SACCOs. I support this one fully because for the monies of the workers, investors and the people who are dealing with these SACCOs to be protected well, we need to have a regulation that determines the level of education the leaders are going to have. ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Basically, the Bill tries to align the original Act of 2008 which dealt with these SACCOs to the new Constitution. It takes into account the fact that devolved governments have a role to play in the development of SACCOs in this country and should therefore be supported fully. As I finish, this is a good Bill which should move fast. Like a Member indicated earlier on, it is a Bill that is generally good for the SACCO system in this country. So, even when it goes to the Senate it should move fast. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: What I feared most but later on I was explained to by the Chair was another element in the SACCO movement which wants to introduce a new sector of members who are not necessarily members of that particular SACCO to control these SACCOs, but the Chair assured me and I have read through. I can see that would come in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill and thus my waiting for too long was because I feared that item would be here but I can report confidently that it is not here. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. With those many remarks I beg to support. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Mbui for raising the issue of co-curricular activities in our schools. It is true that co-curricular activities are not funded. This has made the burden of paying for them be taken to the parents therefore reducing what the Government intended as free primary schools to costly primary schools. As I finish, very shortly, the other thing is that the Ministry’s officials take the entire amount of money that was supposed to be used in the schools and manage it. When it comes to the games, they take the position of managing games instead ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just have a few comments to make about that Report. I would like to thank the delegation, under the leadership of Hon. Mwashetani, that went to the USA and came up with the Report. When we go for such tours, we come back and table reports. Can we develop this Report into something that will assist the country instead of just going to the USA, coming back and tabling a report and then taking a bit more time to discuss it? How does it benefit us? It must be turned into some form of law, ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Committee can apply the First Occupancy Theory and what they learned in America so that we do not have squatters when we know very well that they should own the particular pieces of land. We should not have the problem of squatters in Kenya if we took those things a bit more seriously. Secondly, as we discuss the land issue and the land Report in this House, most Kenyans do not have title deeds. Even in Emuhaya Constituency, where I come from, and in many other constituencies, title deeds remain a challenge for Kenyans. How I wish we could also ... view
