• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: requesting for the withdrawal of all the amendments to the Science, Technology and Innovation Act, 2013 to provide enough time for them to consult and come up with a more comprehensive law in the education sector. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I would want to support the earlier speaker, Hon. Duale, on what he has just said. It is because the district is a smaller place. If you substitute it with a county, it can really be misused because there are several districts within a county. Suppose we are allocating resources using this law, it can really disadvantage. So, we either amend it so that it is “district for sub-county” or something like that. Thank you, The Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It has been clearly said that I oppose the amendment. My background as a teacher of history and government, the tribe is a very important institution. I beg to oppose the amendment. view
• 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
