• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I think Parliament has matured since the time we began. We have gone through that storming stage and we are now in the normalising stage. We should now be performing. When The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: the Finance Bill comes here, we should perform for Kenyans and not for our parties. Therefore, this law is good but it must capture other players who have been talked about. I do not want to over-emphasise Fuliza . Those platforms and other shylocks that are lending money to Kenyans are just circumventing this law and yet, when you look at it very clearly, it includes individuals. So, as this law becomes operational, I ask the implementers that we capture all institutions that are lending money to Kenyans so that they can also operate within the 4 per cent lending ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The threat that was mentioned here yesterday that reduction of the per centum interest on lending has made it difficult for the banks to give money to SMEs is a fallacy that is created by the banks themselves. I am a student of economics at my own level and I know that once the lending rates were reduced, we should have seen more money being given to SMEs. So, this is being done intentionally. Could we go back and look at the times of President Kibaki? He inherited one of the weakest economies in Kenya after retired President Moi. He ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I thank you. I totally support this law. I ask the House to also remain hawk-eyed when the Finance Bill is brought to the House. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. As I add my voice, a few things come out very clearly that, when we are doing the vetting as Parliament and as committees, we need to do our work very clearly and in a very exact way like the way Hon. Mbadi has almost alluded to. I like the President because whenever we make a law here and the President feels it is not correct in his perspective, he just returns it like what we always see here. So, Parliament must also be very clear when it is doing its ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support this Bill from the outset. We need to constitute a full IEBC that can carry out its mandate. We also need to divorce Parliament from legal work and the politics that we do. Parliament should never stand in the way of what we should be doing, especially creation of a legal framework, like the Mover of the Bill indicated, so that we seem to be contributing to the absence of IEBC perse. Currently as constituted, the IEBC meets its minimum threshold of three members, but with three commissioners, it cannot carry out ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: This is a good law at this particular time. The reason religious groups have many members on this panel is because we make this law during times of crisis.

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: periods, we tend not to trust each other on both divides. Therefore, we take the burden of trust to the religious leaders. I am very happy with the Chairman that he is bringing this law at a time when the temperatures are fairly fair, so that we can make a credible law and have people who can do this work in a very fair atmosphere. Therefore, I fully support the reduction of the number of religious leaders nominated to the panel, though two is quite a few. Possibly at the Committee of the whole House, we should give them an ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this chance. I join my colleagues in sending my condolences to the families of the late Hon. Ken Okoth – who I knew very well – and Governor Laboso. Hon. Ken Okoth was a strong human rights fighter. He was very articulate and an educationist. He was very loyal to his party. The ODM Party has lost a very loyal person. He loved his party and was loyal to it while at the same time respecting everybody and other political parties. He articulated his issues in such a manner that he gave a lot of ... view
• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I had put it much earlier, but I thought on the issue of census, I support 100 per cent the youth being given a chance. I was also very worried. When such a matter is brought to the House, the way it was coming, and we make legislation on it, given that we are a House that protects everybody who is working and those who are not working, it needs a delicate balance. So, let us give those chances to the youth and we can also use our own influence within the constituencies ... view
