That has been partly attributed to the Disco Matangas and such like things. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Recently, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) advertised positions for promotions. I was there two weeks ago. That is an area where the level of education is so low that no one currently qualifies to apply to become deputy principal or principal of school. We asked the Commission to come up with some form of affirmative action to accommodate them. As the Member fully supports Disco Matanga, I kindly, without agitation, ask him to reconsider what that means to his society and education of the child.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think the presentation by the Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee was so good. It woke up my mind on the many reasons why some Kenyans sometimes demean Parliament.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this particular chance to make a few comments on the Bill that has been presented before us by Hon. Jude Njomo. When I talked to him in the morning, like he indicated to the House, there were fears amongst us and many Kenyans that this Bill was supposed to negate the tag of 4 per cent that had been introduced to cap interest rates. But upon the Mover explaining to us, I want to thank him for having continued the work of Joe Donde as a defender of Kenyans on the ...

At the outset, I fully support the clear definition of what the maximum interest rates should be. I also support the base rate which is now clearly defined so that there is no ambiguity. Indeed, I also thank the courts because there was some ambiguity in the law. It is because by the time it was being passed, there was fear among the parliamentarians that it would be refused at one point or another. We have a chance of removing ambiguities especially when we talk about the rates and penalties. This is because a rogue bank can just pay the ...
